刚毛指示格里芬犬(Wirehaired Pointing Griffon)
[简介]
中等体型，拥有高贵的，正方形的头部，四肢结实，培养的目的是用于在各种地形条件下的步行猎犬。动作轻松，象猫一样优美。在原野上胜过指示犬，在水中能胜过寻回犬。被毛坚硬而粗糙，决不能卷曲或呈羊毛质，厚实的底毛由细腻的毛发组成，外貌显得乱蓬蓬的。他非常容易调教，热爱家庭，而且气质友善，使他得到了所有人的钟爱。因此为自己挣来了“最好的枪猎犬”的外号。
[体型]
尺寸：雄性肩高22~24英寸；雌性肩高20~22英寸。正确的尺寸非常重要。体型太大属于严重缺陷。比例：体长略大于肩高，比例大约为10:9。肩高是指从肩胛骨最高处到地面的垂直距离，体长是指从肩胛骨最前端到臀部最后端的距离。硬毛指示格里芬犬不应该发展成正方形结构。体质：适中，显示出他是一种适应所有地形的猎犬。
[头部]
头部：必须与整体的比例协调。中等宽度，从鼻尖到止部的距离与从止部到后枕骨的距离大致相等。脑袋的顶端略微圆拱。口吻和头部的侧面呈正方形。止部和后枕骨轻微突起。必须有充足的眉毛和胡须产生一种友好的表情。眼睛大而张开，略显的圆，而不是椭圆。眼神显得警惕、友善、而且聪明。眼睛的颜色是不同深浅的黄色和褐色。瞬膜不可见，且眼睛不突出。耳朵为中等大小，平坦地下垂，且贴着头部。位置略高，与眼睛齐平。鼻镜：首先是鼻孔开阔。鼻镜颜色总是褐色的。任何其他颜色都属于失格。咬和：剪状咬和，上颚突出式咬和或下颚突出式咬和属于严重缺陷。
[颈部、背线、身躯]
颈部：稍长，略微圆拱，无赘肉。背线：背部结实而稳固，从马肩隆向尾根处逐渐向下倾斜。身躯-胸部：胸部必须延伸到肘部，肋骨适度撑起。胸部既不能太宽，也不能太窄，宽度适中，允许前肢自由的运动。腰部：腰部结实且非常发达，中等长度。臀部健壮，有足够的长度，能提供理想的速度。尾巴：尾巴是背线的自然延伸，姿势保持笔直或略微凸起。断尾，保留1/3或一半长度。
[前躯]
肩胛：长，有足够的角度，向后倾斜。前肢笔直，从前面观察，垂直于地面，在肩胛下正确的位置。骹骨略微倾斜。狼爪需要切除。足爪：圆，稳固，脚趾紧凑，有蹼。脚垫厚实。
[后躯]
大腿长而肌肉发达。角度与前躯相称。后肢垂直于地面，飞节既不向内弯，也不向外翻。膝关节和飞节结实且角度恰当。足爪与前肢相同。
[被毛]
被毛是这个品种的独特特征之一。他拥有双层被毛。外层披毛中等长度，直或略呈波浪状，决不能卷曲或呈羊毛质。粗糙的质地能在灌木丛中提供保护。底毛必须细腻、厚实、提供防水能力。底毛的丰厚程度根据季节变化、气候变化及荷尔蒙周期变化而有所不同。颜色通常比较浅。头部拥有丰富的胡须和眉毛，外貌必须有延伸出来的底毛共同组成，所以硬毛指示格里芬犬的外貌显得非常凌乱。耳朵上的毛发相当短而柔软。混合了长而粗糙的被毛。足爪的刚毛要比身躯略少。腿部，包括前肢和后肢，覆盖着浓密、短、粗糙的被毛。尾巴上的毛发与身躯上的相同，任何形式的羽状饰毛都必须严格禁止。这个品种必须显示出丰满的被毛，不能以任何方式剥除被毛。只允许剥除和修剪耳朵、头顶、面颊和足爪的毛发。
[颜色]
兰灰色带褐色斑纹比较理想。通常是栗褐色，或杂色，白色带褐色或白色带橘色也可以接受。全部是褐色、全白色、白色带橘色则不理想。黑色被毛属于失格。
[步态]
虽然不用工作，但硬毛指示格里芬犬必须能有效而轻松地覆盖地面。他是一种中等速度的狗，前肢和后肢完全协调。小跑时，由于重力作用，前肢和后肢趋向于向身躯中心线收拢。前后肢能充分伸展。从侧面观察，背线稳固且与运动方向一致。可以看到平顺、有力的地面覆盖能力。
[气质]
硬毛指示格里芬犬敏捷，且头脑聪明，容易训练。他喜欢外出，非常热衷于取悦主人，而且可信赖。他是一个非常卓越的家庭犬，同样也是一个小心翼翼的搜索同伴。
[失格]
鼻镜为褐色以外的任何颜色
黑色被毛。

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Breed Standard
General Appearance
Medium sized, with a noble, square-shaped head, strong of limb, bred to cover all terrain encountered by the walking hunter. Movement showing an easy catlike gracefulness. Excels equally as a pointer in the field, or a retriever in the water. Coat is hard and coarse, never curly or woolly, with a thick undercoat of fine hair, giving an unkempt appearance. His easy trainability, devotion to family, and friendly temperament endear him to all. The nickname of "supreme gundog" is well earned.
Size, Proportion, Substance
Size--22 to 24 inches for males, 20 to 22 inches for females. Correct size is important. Oversize to be severely penalized. Proportion--Slightly longer than tall, in a ratio of 10 to 9. Height from withers to ground; length from point of shoulder to point of buttocks. The Griffon must not evolve towards a square conformation. Substance medium, reflecting his work as an all-terrain hunting dog.
Head
The head is to be in proportion to the overall dog. The skull is of medium width with equal length from nose to stop and from stop to occiput. The skull is slightly rounded on top, but from the side the muzzle and head are square. The stop and occiput are only slightly pronounced. The required abundant mustache and eyebrows contribute to the friendly expression. The eyes are large and well open, more rounded than elliptical. They have an alert, friendly, and intelligent expression. Eye color ranges in all shades of yellow and brown. Haws should not show nor should there be protruding eyes. The ears should be of medium size, lying flat and close to the head, set high, at the height of the eye line. Nose--Well open nostrils are essential. Nose color is always brown. Any other color is a disqualification. Bite scissors. Overshot or undershot bite is a serious fault.
Neck, Topline, Body
Neck-- rather long, slightly arched, no dewlap. Topline-- The back is strong and firm, descending in a gentle slope from the slightly higher withers to the base of the tail. Body-Chest-- The chest must descend to the level of the elbow, with a moderate spring of rib. The chest must neither be too wide nor too narrow, but of medium width to allow freedom of movement. The loin is strong and well developed, being of medium length. The croup and rump are stoutly made with adequate length to favor speed. The tail extends from the back in a continuation of the topline. It may be carried straight or raised slightly. It is docked by one-third to one-half length.
Forequarters
Shoulders are long, with good angulation, and well laid back. The forelegs are straight and vertical from the front and set well under the shoulder from the side. Pasterns are slightly sloping. Dewclaws should be removed. Feet are round, firm, with tightly closed webbed toes. Pads are thick.
Hindquarters
The thighs are long and well muscled. Angulation in balance with the front. The legs are vertical with the hocks turning neither in nor out. The stifle and hock joints are strong and well angulated. Feet as in front.
Coat
The coat is one of the distinguishing features of the breed. It is a double coat. The outer coat is medium length, straight and wiry, never curly or woolly. The harsh texture provides protection in rough cover. The obligatory undercoat consists of a fine, thick down, which provides insulation as well as water resistance. The undercoat is more or less abundant, depending upon the season, climate, and hormone cycle of the dog. It is usually lighter in color. The head is furnished with a prominent mustache and eyebrows. These required features are extensions of the undercoat, which gives the Griffon a somewhat untidy appearance. The hair covering the ears is fairly short and soft, mixed with longer harsh hair from the coat. The overall feel is much less wiry than the body. The legs, both front and rear, are covered with denser, shorter, and less coarse hair. The coat on the tail is the same as the body; any type of plume is prohibited. The breed should be exhibited in full body coat, not stripped short in pattern. Trimming and stripping are only allowed around the ears, top of head, cheeks and feet.
Color
Preferably steel gray with brown markings, frequently chestnut brown, or roan, white and brown; white and orange also acceptable. A uniformly brown coat, all white coat, or white and orange are less desirable. A black coat disqualifies.
Gait
Although close working, the Griffon should cover ground in an efficient, tireless manner. He is a medium-speed dog with perfect coordination between front and rear legs. At a trot, both front and rear legs tend to converge toward the center line of gravity. He shows good extension both front and rear. Viewed from the side, the topline is firm and parallel to the line of motion. A smooth, powerful ground-covering ability can be seen.
Temperament
The Griffon has a quick and intelligent mind and is easily trained. He is outgoing, shows a tremendous willingness to please and is trustworthy. He makes an excellent family dog as well as a meticulous hunting companion.
Disqualifications
Nose any color other than brown.
Black coat.
