    My wirehair bitch is 12 and we've shot 221 deer together. Murder on cats and little dogs, otherwise very well mannered and a pleasure to have around. Great breed but you need to be careful about blood lines and faults. The wirehair in NZ is very closely bred with very few out crosses. I only know of one breeder who has introduced new blood in recent years.

    Wirehairs have split into two lines now.
    The ordinary NZ wirehair is quite different to the new line of imported and tested dogs referred to as "Drahthaars". Drahthaars must meet a rigorous testing regime controlled from Germany. I only know of one Drahthaar breeder here, although there were 2 for a while.

    Not sure how many kennel club registered wirehair breeders there are - not many.

    And then there is a pool of unregistered dogs.
