German Wirehaired Pointer
German Wirehaired Pointer Training
Like many dogs, training is an important time for your German Wirehaired Pointer puppy. They will learn to go potty outside, master basic commands and bond with their owner. Although German Wirehaired Pointers are friendly with the whole family, they tend to prefer one person and whoever is holding the treats during a training session will likely get the bulk of their love. You should also train your puppy to be comfortable during grooming as many dogs can develop a fear of being examined. Brush their fur and their teeth starting a young age so that they’re okay with these slight invasions when they become independent adult dogs.
Selecting a German Wirehaired Pointer Puppy
German Wirehaired Pointer Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
