Korthals Series Field Competitions

American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Association


Purpose and Objectives of AWPGA Korthals Series Competitions


The goal of the AWPGA Korthals Series Competitions is to identify and aid in the selection of the best dogs for the perpetuation and improvement of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon breed. These competition level structures are specifically devised to aid in the identification, selection and recognition of the best breed representatives with classification of dogs that hunt in a breed appropriate style effective for the traditional foot hunter. Additional purposes are to provide an opportunity for recreation and fellowship, to foster sportsmanship and to stimulate interest in hunting, training and maintaining the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon as a hunting breed.
