History of the breed

The Griffon Korthals has been known since Antiquity , since the breed was mentioned as early as the 4th century BC. JC by the Greek historian Xenophon. It was then found all over Europe, but it was never really developed. It was only thanks to the work of the Dutchman Eduard Karel Kortals , around the second half of the 19th century , that the Griffon Korthals was improved through crossbreeding and selection .

It is moreover to this man that the race owes its name. Contributions of French braques, barbets and pointers seem to have been appropriate. The Griffon Korthals breed was definitively recognized by the FCI on December 7, 1954. As for its official standard in force, it was published on May 6, 1964.
