(Bristles on the grass indicate Griffins)
Bristles indicate that griffins originated in the Netherlands in the second half of the 19th century, and Dutch breeder Eduard Korthals successfully bred this breed, mainly for hunting quails, hares, foxes and so on.

The son of a wealthy banker, Koshals had a bristle indicator female dog, and in between its excellent performance, Koshals added the blood of other dog breeds to continue its talent, and got a completely new breed, the bristle indicator griffin. By 1870, breed standards had been established. In 1890, Koshars was awarded the Order of Merit by the German Emperor for successful breeding. While working with French and German hunters, Koshars added some of their gun hound blood to his bristle instruction griffin, which led some to claim that the breed was French. However, this variety is still thought to have originated in the Netherlands.

Koshals never revealed the breed used to breed bristle indication Griffins, but it appears that the Minsterland, the German Shorthair Boeingda and the French Griffin (Coarse-Haired Olfactory Hunting Dog) were involved in the breeding process.
In 1887, the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized bristle instruction griffins.

On December 7, 1954, the World Breeding Dog Federation (FCI) recognized bristle indicator Griffin as a separate breed.
Bristles indicate that griffins are medium-sized, multi-purpose gun hounds with shoulder heights not exceeding 60 cm. They are known for their extremely coarse bristles, natural, unkempt appearance, and their preferred color is steel gray with brown patches. The thick beard and eyebrows outline a pair of large round eyes, flashing with keen wisdom. Bristles indicate that griffins are an honest, hard-working sporting dog.
