German Wirehaired Pointer

Who all here owns a GWP?? I've bought me a 10 month old started female in kansas, she will spend another month at the trainer then I'll be picking her up. Can't wait to get her on some birds and start working with her.

I own a GWP, she is 8 months old at the time. If you have any tips on training I would love to hear them. She listens well, but about the goofiest dog I've ever been around.

Jbjessup, this will be the first one I have ever messed with. Perhaps we can tough it out together. Where are you located?

 

[nrh0011]

Great looking dog by the way.

 

[Jbjessup]

Thank you, I am located outside of Athens. Here is a more updated picture of her.

 

[nrh0011]

What are your plans for her?

Good looking pup! I just picked up a German Shorthair myself. very intelligent dogs

 

[Jbjessup]

My plan is for her to be a duck dog. Although, I would love to see how she hunted upland birds, because that's what her entire bloodline hunted. Cwill15 that's a good looking pup!

 

[nrh0011]

I'm sure she will learn to do about whatever you want. Could make an excellent woodcock/grouse dog too. Nice looking pup Cwill15

Looked at the GWP but i have set my sights on a Deutsche Drahthaar,

Basically the same dog, the draahtar has stricter breeding requirements though.

A series of events has unfolded since I've started this thread. The guy I was buying from changed his mind about selling me the GWP. Since then I have bought a Llewellyn setter and will be looking for a GWP or draaht pup here in the next year or so.

We purchased a GWP from Wildwire in Zebulon, GA for our son. She is one of the best dogs we have. Primarily used for deer tracking & upland birds. Highly recommend taking a look at Krista's stock when you are back in the market for a GWP.

I will check them out, when something happens to my lab I'll be ready to get another dog. Thanks

I'm getting me a male, Drahthaar pup out of Briar Ridge kennels in South Carolina. Should have him in 5-6 weeks.
