History of the Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer
A more recent breed, the Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer was developed in the 1950s from a cross of Cesky Fousek and German Wirehaired Pointer whose offspring was then mated with the Weimaraner. Today they remain a rare breed and kept almost exclusively in their homeland.
