Griffon dog breed originated in the period of rapid development of biology in the last quarter of the XIX century. A few years before the Austrian abbot Mendel published his findings on heredity, and the youth of Western Europe with enthusiasm broke new science. It was at that time EK Kortals, the son of a wealthy Dutch banker, began to breed dogs who were destined to become a new breed of hunter. In 1874 he bought seven years of gray-brown female griffon named Mush, which worked perfectly and in thickets, and in the field.
Over the next three years Kortals bought five dogs: Janus, Hector, Satan, Juno and the Bank. Janus had long-haired, Juno - short-haired, and the rest - wire-haired.
The first positive result gave binding Hussar, wire-haired dog of Mush and Janus longhair, shorthair with Juno, The litter was a bitch with a bristly hair than others, she was named Truve. Then Truve mated with the Bank, and from there went Moustache, I, Kerida and Lena - three dogs, from which, as a general statement, there are better lines of the new breed.
Although the origin of the griffin the dog, without a doubt, the Dutch, it is usually considered a French breed because she later developed in France. Distribution of interest in the wire-griffin or, as it is called in France, griffin Kortalsa linked with the constant traveling young breeder who carries out assignments French nobleman, the Duke Pentevra. Kortals never forgot about his hobby and, wherever they are intimate company, strongly praised the virtues of his breed. He argued that the griffin the dog has a diligent, albeit leisurely search. His admiration for the sharp scent dog and its ability to find and hold the prey was contagious

Later Kortals moved from Holland to Germany, where he resumed breeding work. In 1879 he bought a new producer, Donna, with fairly long hair. Its double-knit with Mustafa Hashem I, and two females from their offspring, and Kleretty Wow, revealed the desired properties. Six years later Kortals received at the time of a bitch named Vesta, whose offspring also proved to be very successful. Vesta was a wire-haired, and all its descendants consistently had the type of coat.
Although experts are still some doubts about the pedigrees of the first dogs that participated in the creation of rock (called "patriarchs Kortalsa"), most of them believed that the wire-haired Gryphon bleeds setter, spaniel and otterha-Unda. It is known that some of the "patriarchs" refer to dogs as described in the book "The Origin of the Wire griffin" as real Griffins, they originate from an ancient breed of hound-griffin. We also know that produced at least one crossing with Poynter and certainly it was a German wire-haired pointer (drathaar).
In Kortalsa had extensive acquaintance among hunters in Europe, he has consistently attended all major field trial dogs. Later, he constantly took part in exhibitions, popularizing its own type of griffin dog.
The Wire griffin first exhibited at an exhibition in England shortly after the breed originated, and it attracted enormous attention. Nevertheless, it is not in a separate group, and only a few years later in 1888, the name of the breed is found in the documents of the exhibition Barn Elms. After 12 years of wire-haired Griffin has appeared in America. The first dog registered by the American Kennel Club was Zoletta, Room 6773, from Guerra and Tambour. Registration was carried out under the name "Russian Setter (Griffin)" in the 4 th volume Studbook, published in 1887. Father, Gerrit, was the great-grandson of Donna. Thus began the American history of the breed.
