That is weird. I know they were a pain for us when we were working on getting recognised. They threatened to kick us out of Misc. if we didn't get recognised. It took forever.

I'm not sure if there's something about releasing a breed that doesn't keep up some minimum of registrations or such over some time.
It must be very small, because the Wire-Haired Pointing Griffon should be long gone! (I saw ONCE a real, live WHPG and it was a "thrill" for me - I spoke at length to the owner/handler even as I was showing my young GS that day!)
