Question: Which dog breed is used as a gundog in hunting, the Seppala Siberian Sleddog or the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon?
Context: The German Wirehaired Pointer is a medium to large-sized griffon type breed of dog developed in the 19th century in Germany for hunting.  It became a leading gun dog in Germany in the later part of the 20th century.  It is the result of the careful mixing and crossing of the griffon, German Shorthaired Pointer,Deutscher Stichelhaar, Deutscher Kurzhaar, and the hunting Pudelpointer in the late 19th century. A rare working dog breed, the Seppala Siberian Sleddog is developed for the purpose of pulling a sled in cold country.  It is a moderate-sized dog averaging 18 to 23 kg (40 to 50 pounds) weight and 56 to 58 cm (22 or 23 inches) height.  Colours and markings are considered of little importance; eyes may be brown, blue or any combination of the two colours.  Seppalas are active and energetic but very docile and trainable. The Wirehaired Vizsla ( ; ] ; English plural: Vizslas or sometimes Vizslak, based on the Hungarian plural vizslák ] ), is a dog breed originating in Hungary.  Wirehaired Vizslas are known as excellent hunting dogs, and also have a level personality making them suited for families.  The Wirehaired Vizsla is a versatile, natural hunter endowed with an excellent nose and an above average trainability.  Although they are lively, gentle mannered, demonstrably affectionate and sensitive, they are also fearless and possessed of a well-developed protective instinct.  The breed has a firmness on point, is an excellent retriever, and has the determination to remain on the scent even when swimming.  The overall appearance embodies the qualities of a multi-purpose pointing dog, endurance, working ability and an easily satisfied nature.  This is a dog of power and drive in the field, yet is a tractable and affectionate companion in the home. Leonhard "Sepp" Seppala (September 14, 1877 – January 28, 1967) was a Norwegian-born American Sled dog musher who played a pivotal role in the 1925 serum run to Nome and participated in the 1932 Winter Olympics.  Seppala introduced the work dogs used by Native Siberians at the time to the American public; the breed came to be known as the Siberian Husky in the English-speaking world.  The Leonhard Seppala Humanitarian Award, which honors excellence in sled dog care is named in honour of him. Griffon is a type of dog - a collection of breeds that were originally hunting dogs.  There are three lines of the griffon type recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI): the griffon vendéens, the wirehaired pointers, and the "smousje" (Belgian companion dogs or Dutch Smoushond).  The griffon type is characterized by rough or wire-hair. A pointing breed is a type of gundog typically used in finding game.  Gundogs are traditionally divided into three classes: retrievers, flushing dogs, and pointing breeds.  The name "pointer" comes from the dog's instinct to "point", by stopping and aiming its muzzle towards game.  This demonstrates to the hunter the location of his or her quarry and allows them to move into gun range.  Pointers were selectively bred from dogs who had abundant pointing and backing instinct.  They typically start to acquire their hunting instincts at about 2 months of age. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (also called the Korthals Griffon , and the Griffon d'arrêt à poil dur Korthals in France and Quebec) is a breed of dog used in hunting as a gundog.  It is sometimes considered to be Dutch in ancestry, due to the nationality of the breed founder, Eduard Karel Korthals.  History records the progression of the development of the breed through Biebeshein am Rhen Germany where the founder established the Ipenwoud kennel and the breed type was established and then into France where it is now recognized.  Others consider the Griffon to be a German breed because Korthals' kennel, Ipenwoud, was located in Biebesheim am Rhein, Germany.  It was there for over twenty years that Korthals dedicated his life to the development and perfection of the Korthals Griffon. The dog, the Korthals Griffon, known as the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon The Braque Saint-Germain (FCI No. 115) (translated into English as the St. Germain Pointing Dog) is a medium-large breed of dog, a versatile hunter used for hunting as a gun dog and pointer as well as for hunting other small game.  "Braque" is a term meaning pointing dogs.  The breed was created around 1830 by crossing English and French pointing type dogs. The West Siberian Laika or "WSL", is a breed of hunting dog and a breed of spitz type.  Russian publications indicate that the term West Siberian Laika loosely applied to hunting dogs originating with the Mansi and Khanty people in Ural and West Siberia, but there were no standards or registrations of WSL as such until 1930.  Then WWll disrupted it for a while, but "systematic breeding with registrations" resumed after the war ended, in 1946.  This was the time the breed began taking modern shape.  Before that hunters only knew of Mansi Laika and Khanty Laika.  In early 1960 many hunters in Ural still preferred the term Mansi Laika, when speaking of West Siberian Laika.  In Russian language, the term Laika originated from the word "layat" that means to bark.  The word Laika simply means "barker".  Any hunting Laika is a bark pointer (pointing at animal of interest by barking and staying with the animal ).  It is a versatile dog depending on use and environment, but in certain parts of the country they have become more specialized.
