German wirehaired pointer

German wirehaired pointer, hunting dog and retriever, first bred in Germany in the mid-1800s by crossing the German shorthaired pointer and the poodle-pointer. The German wirehaired pointer stands 24 to 26 in (61 to 66 cm) at the shoulder and weighs 55 to 65 lb (25 to 29 kg). Its coat may be brown or brown and white with liver-colored spots.
