This review is from: The German Pointer: Shorthaired and Wirehaired (Hardcover)

From the back: The author presents both breeds of German Pointers, the Shorthaired and the Wirehaired, in a single well illustrated and highly informative book. ... More than 200 photographs -- including over 100 in full color -- enhance the revealing text.

Contents: History of the German Pointers, German Pointers in the United States, in Australia, in Canada, in Great Britain, Standards of the Breed, You and Your German Pointer, The Purchase of Your Dog or Puppy, Care of Your Puppy, Care of Your Wirehaired's Coat, Making of a Show Dog, Your Dog and Obedience, German Pointers in the Field, Breeding Your German Pointer, Traveling with Your Dog, Responsibilities of Breeders and Owners.

Please note that although the breeds are related and similar in many ways, they do differ somewhat in temperament, behavior traits and ancestry, not just in coat.
