    WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON OR GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER? True Versatility

    I'd love to hear more about this! Was your dog enthusiastic about searching for non-game animals? I shy away from a drahthaar because of what people have been describing as always being on, but I feel that I'd need that to do as much work as I intend on doing. How is it with your family, and was...

    WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON OR GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER? True Versatility

    Not looking for much of a protection dog, but when your WPG is tracking, does he keep his head high and air scent a lot or is he nose to the ground after going through training?

    WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON OR GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER? True Versatility

    I wouldn't say you'd need to be the best in the world, but I'd say I'm a pretty decent trainer. Also spent some time training a mink. Completely different than training for all of these things, but the way I see it is, I want a pointer for cottontails because I'd much rather point and hold one...

    WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON OR GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER? True Versatility

    I've been scratching my eyes out trying to decide on one of these two breeds. Most everyone who's hunting with dogs are using them for birds, but I live in Virginia, so big-time bird hunting is low on the list. I've got the basic understanding of these two breeds, but I have questions that I...

    va duck hunting

    Just started this season. It was okay in central Virginia for my first time. I got two mallards and a wood duck. I used some decoys and calls, but really only got them from stalking up to them.

    dougdelite: Can a beagle flush pheasants and retrieve swimming birds?

    I wouldn't trust a beagle to do anything for you aside from chase game. I believe it could flush birds, but I doubt, they'd flush in front of you from all the barking.

    Breeder recommendation for Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

    That sounds pretty good! What breeder did you get him from? Also, if you did obedience training or any other type of training (steady to wing and shot, water retrieve, trailing) what was his tolerance for training like? Did he not want to do repetitions? Was he hard headed at all or was he very...

    New pup!

    Hey, just trying to get a reference for temperatures since I'm in the southeast and everyone else on her is midwest. Our winters don't usually get lower than 26 degrees most years, and the water temps are usually well above that because below freezing days are usually only in January and...

    Breeder recommendation for Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

    How's your dogs hunting drive? I've been hesitant to get a WPG over a GSP because of people saying their hunting style is really slow. From videos of them hunting, they don't seem that enthusiastic. Also, if you have it obedience trained, or trained to wing and shot, how was the training process...
