Harder Wirehairs

Harder Wirehairs, German wirehaired pointers, Colfax, WI, serves Dunn County and western Wisconsin near Eau Claire. Its breeder, Jeremiah Harder, has been raising wirehaired pointers for more than a decade and follows the health screening protocols recommended by the American Kennel Club for hip dysplasia and eye conditions. The kennel holds membership in the German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America and maintains meticulous records of pedigrees and health clearances.

Puppies are reared in a home environment with regular exposure to children and other household pets, and they spend daily time in a secure, fenced yard. Early scent-work and gentle introduction to water support their natural hunting instincts while fostering confidence and teamwork. Harder Wirehairs’ approach emphasizes balanced nutrition, routine veterinary care and gradual field introductions at local trials to ensure stable temperaments. Its focus on temperament, sound health and transparent breeding practices has earned respect among sporting dog enthusiasts in the region.
