With working trial.[/b]
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The Deutsch Drahthaar is a rough coated pointing dog whose initial breeding started at the end of the 19th century (Griffon Korthals), and that has been systematically bred from the beginning of this century based on the ideas of „Hegewald“ (Sigismund Freiherr von Zedlitz and Neukirch) with the sealed aim of creating an assertive, efficient wirehaired German gundog. In accordance with the principle of „by working ability to type“ and with consequent regard to freedom of breeding, within a short time a gundog has been developed from the best of the rough coated types (Pudelpointer, Griffon Korthals, German Broken Coated Pointing Dog) and by using the German Shorthaired Pointer, that excels through his useful weatherproof coat and his versatility in all fields of practical hunting. Due to these characteristics, the Deutsch Drahthaar within a few decades has developed to become the most popular and well-tried among the large gundog breeds in Germany as well as in many countries of the world.

Par šķirni
Drathārs tika selekcionēts 20.gs. sākumā rūpīgi krustojot vācu īsspalvaino suni, asspalvaino grifonu, pointeru, bladhaundu un erdelterjeru. 1902. gadā tika dibināts Vācu drathāru mīlētāju klubs, 1924.gadā - reģistrēts šīs šķirnes standarts. Lai uzturētu šīs šķirnes augsto kvalitāti, Vācu drathāru mīlētāju klubs reģistrē tikai 6 labākos kucēnus no katra metiena. Vācijā šī šķirne ir viena no populārākajām , ko izmanto medībām.Šie suņi ir līdz 68 cm augsti, vidēji garām, nokarenām ausīm, cietu un spīdīgu spalvu, kā tērauda stiepli, no tumšas līdz dzeltenai kastaņkrāsai. Šai šķirnei ir bārda un biezas uzacis.Drathāri ir mierīgi, dzīvi, enerģiski. Ļoti pieķeras savam saimniekam un ir greizsirdīgi uz citiem suņiem. Šis suns no saviem priekštečiem ir mantojis smalku ožu, lielisku stāju, dzīvu prātu un elegantu izskatu. Tas ir suns, kas atbilst visām mednieka prasībām,taču salīdzinot ar citiem putnu suņiem, šis suns ir mazliet vairāk ietiepīgs un patstāvīgs.
FCI-St N° 98 / 23.10.2002 / GB
Izcelsmes valsts : Vācija
STANDARTS 25.10.2000.
PIELIETOJUMS : Universāls medību suns
Klasifikācija F.C.I. : 7. grupa (Kontinentālie putnu suņi)
Dzīves ilgums: 12 līdz 15.g.
VĒSTURE
Drathārs tika selekcionēts 20.gs. sākumā rūpīgi krustojot vācu īsspalvaino putnu suni, asspalvaino grifonu, pointeru, bladhaundu un erdelterjeru. 1902. gadā tika dibināts Vācu drathāru mīlētāju klubs, 1924.gadā - reģistrēts šīs šķirnes standarts.
Lai uzturētu šīs šķirnes augsto kvalitāti, Vācu drathāru mīlētāju klubs reģistrē tikai 6 labākos kucēnus no katra metiena. Vācijā šī šķirne ir viena no populārākajām, ko izmanto medībām.
Vācu selekcionāru uzdevums bija izveidot medību suņu šķirni, kas būtu universāla ne tikai medību pielietojumā, bet lai tā arī būtu universāla – izturīga pret reljefa un klimata maiņu, vai tās būtu atklātas teritorijas, vai bieži meži, vai ledains ūdens, kā rezultātā drathārs ir ieguvis cietu un spīdīgu spalvu kā tērauda stiepli. Otrs svarīgākais faktors bija, lai suns spētu strādāt gan indviduālajās medībās, gan arī nelielā kolektīvā.
IZSKATS
Šie suņi ir 60 –67 cm augsti, spēcīgas uzbūves., vidēji garām, nokarenām ausīm, biezu bārdu un uzacīm, cietu un spīdīgu spalvu, apmatojuma krāsa - no tumši brūnas līdz dzeltenai kastaņkrāsai. Lepnums, acij tīkamās līnijas, skaistā galva, pareizi novietotā aste un harmoniskās kustības izceļ suņa aristokrātismu - šis suns no saviem priekštečiem ir mantojis smalku ožu, lielisku stāju, dzīvu prātu un elegantu izskatu.
UZVEDĪBA / TEMPERAMENTS
Drathāri ir ar stabilu nervu sistēmu, dzīvi, ietiepīgi, patstāvīgi, enerģiski un spēcīgi suņi. Ļoti pieķeras savam saimniekam un ir greizsirdīgi uz citiem suņiem.
APRŪPE
Drathārs ir veselīgs, reti slimo, to gandrīz nekad nepiemeklē dažādas ar alerģiju saistītas kaites. Iespējams, veterinārārsta apmeklējums būs nepieciešams tikai, lai veiktu profilaktiskās potes. Ipašais apmatojums pasargā drathāru no klimata izmaiņām. Jāatcerās, ka tas ir rūpīgi jakopj, lai tas pildītu savas paredzētās funkcijas.
REZUMĒ
Drathārs ir medību šķirnes suns, kas izpilda visas mednieka prasības. Ļoti piemērots Latvijas klimatam. Šis ir suns, kam ir nepieciešama disciplīna, lai savaldītu spēcīgos instinktus un temperamentu. Latvijā drathāru izmantošana medībās ir vairāk sastopama Latgales reģionā, savukārt Lietuva ir līderis starp Baltijas valstīm, kas ir spējusi novērtēt šī suņa darba kvalitāti un neatsveramo palīdzību medībās. Latvijas Medību suņu klubs un drathāru fanāti rūpējas par to, lai attīstītu šīs šķirnes popularitāti Latvijā.
