In Iceland:
I think the more accurate name for this dog is Deutsch Drahthaar than German wire-haired pointer.
They have the same root stock and could be considered the same breed, but the DD is bred according to a strict performance standard that the German wire-hair (at least in the English-speaking countries) is not.

German Wire-haired Pointer reminds me of the famous saying of Louis Sullivan:
“It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.”
