The youngest of three I see and love for all their flighty-fighty ways 💙

All beings simply desire to be understood and respected.

"This study adds to the growing area of microbiome research as it relates to animal behaviour and provides novel insight into the links between behaviour and the gut microbiome in family dogs. Despite a relatively small sample size, we were able to consistently identify differences between behavioural groups that differed in levels of anxiety and aggression using various approaches. In particular, the genus Blautia was consistently identified by our analyses as having a close relationship with anxiety in pet dogs.

Given the current knowledge that dietary changes in dogs can alter both gut microbiota and behaviour, and that the composition of the gut microbiota is linked to behaviour, there is an early promise that modifying the gut microbiome via dietary changes or supplementation with probiotics may be beneficial in the treatment of behavioural issues in dogs."

The GWP is not a German Shorthaired Pointer with different hair. The two breeds were developed separately (the Shorthair is slightly older), and there are significant differences. The Wirehaired has a slightly larger and sturdier build with a longer body, and its head is also shaped differently. The GWP’s brows should be well developed, while the GSP’s brows should be moderately developed. People who’ve hunted with both say that a Wirehairs’ point tends to be less angular and more solidly balanced, as if the dog is growing out of the ground. We read one article that opined that “if the German Shorthaired Pointer is the sports car of the dock-tail pointing breeds, then consider the German Wirehaired Pointer a muddy ranch pickup.” Vivid.

These Pointers trace their origins back to the late 1800s in Germany. There, breeders wanted a rugged, versatile hunting dog that would work closely with either one person or a small party of people hunting on foot in varied terrain; from the mountainous regions of the Alps, to dense forests, to more open areas with farms and small towns.

In 1959, the breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Despite serious health and longevity problems, small brachycephalic breeds are becoming increasingly popular among pet owners.
