ALL ABOUT GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTERS

[@matheumorrill5267]

I just lost my best friend Gino after 12yrs Best hunting dog I've ever had and compainion. These dogs are so friendly and personable and absoluity my dog of choice for life. Im looking for anouther one now. This bread of dog is my personal choice. Ive had dogs all my life,Labs, GSPs and GWPs, I love them all, but GWP's get the job done. I miss my Gino, greatest dog ever, and with tears in my eyes I say," good by old friend Ill see you again when its my time to go. Be a good dog".

[@proto4747]

My family and I are friends with the breeder shown here, we help them with their dog shows quite frequently. We have gotten 3 amazing dogs from them. I don't think we are ever going to get another breed. Very beautiful and smart dogs, great with kids and extremely friendly to anyone they meet. I routinely take my dogs to the beach or hiking and they love it. Whether I'm sitting around my house doing nothing or taking a hike, I know they're by my side through it all. Honestly, the best breed of dog I have ever encountered. If you're on the fence about getting a wirehair, do it. Cathy will take care of you, she's an extremely kind and knowledgeable lady. She clearly does this out of love for the dogs, and it's not hard to see why. Much love Cathy, Chris

[@noratorres4610]

Is there a way I can buy a puppy from them directly? Because I'm looking to get a GWP and their dogs look beautiful.

[@irishsetterarchie]

They are simply the best! Your efforts show and are very much appreciated!

[@oncall21]

Thanks for sharing. I'm from Melbourne, Australia and this breed is the most popular breed for hunting sambar deer in the Victorian high country. They are also used on ducks and quail.

[@noahbelt1]

I love my GWP !! He seriously is so well mannered and easily trainable. He typically matches his temprement with mine and its my side by side companion 24/7. I need to find a good breeder in my area!

[@tuffybaxton6162]

do they make good guard dogs

[@duppsydaisy]

Where's your area?

[@vlad.vasilev.94]

I love this episode! I can literally watch it 100 times! The GWHP is the ultimate dog in my opinion. Here in Bulgaria, in eastern Europe, we use them even for large game drive like red stag and the dangerous wild boar. They are sturdy, brave and loyal. Also when I saw Murdoc my eyes melted as I lost my 4 mounts old puppy who looked exactly like him from parovirosis last year just days before I had planed to take him to the vet for second vaccine. Best of luck to your dogs though because they are lovely!

[@chrissielockner3477]

Владимир Василев be careful with them labeling illnesses as parvovirus. With my Alex he had his first parvovirus shot and he was puking badly one night (a week later) and we took him to an ER vet and the vet labeled him as having parvovirus (the shot gives the test a false positive if given shortly after receiving the shot) and racked up a huge bill and I took him to my normal vet the following morning and after serval tests it turned out he was allergic to his food and never had parvovirus.

[@millag93]

Според теб стават ли за домашни любимци? Харесва ми много породата, но не съм ловец, живея в града. Дали ще е щастливо в апартамент, но с много разходки и игри? Днес видях едно такова куче, вързано пред магазин, беше страшно лигаво, но гледаше и много умно същевременно

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

Just like Rona, the vax for parvo likely is what gave it to him...sorry

[@troypower4733]

Great breed, love my GWP! Exercise is key, I live in the middle of a city, my wirehair and I start our day (except in our brutal winter season) with a 10 km run while I pedal for all I'm worth. Appreciate the video, always a pleasure to listen to an experienced successful breeder, keep up the great work and dedication!

[@animalobsessed1]

How does your Wirehair do with all the crowds and other dogs (who may not always be under control)? I'm also living in the city and trying to find an active dog, and this is one of my main concerns, with most working breeds having a tendency to easily become reactive...

[@troypower4733]

My Wirehair is an intact male, he is amazing with other dogs unless another male is aggressive towards him, I need to be observant. Has not had a fight though and is currently 5 years old. We have been charged by off lead large dogs when I bike with him, I stop and face the other dog, have not had an instance where there has been a problem, they usually approach, they sniff and all has been well. When he is in run mode while I bike he does not even look at other dogs, key is exercise and they are a great breed to do that with. He adores children (although I do not have kids), is very socialble and is used to traffic and has no issues in crowds, etc. He listens really well and learns fast, very intelligent, but can be distracted by cats and small animals. For me it is either a GWP or a GSP, however, if you are looking for slightly smaller and a little easier to handle when under 3yrs old, a pointing Griffon might be a breed for you to consider as well.

[@animalobsessed1]

Thanks, your dog sounds awesome, but I will look into the pointing Griffon too. There are so many breeds, it's so hard to decide!

[@troypower4733]

Yes he is and there certainly are many breeds to chose from, take your time, plan and make sure you are ready. Obedience class when they are puppies and much more, invest the time, all will pay off. Visit the breeder and check out the parents too. I put my deposit down before the breeding took place and only after I took the time to visit the breeder and my dogs sire and dam, that sold me on feeling comfortable and assured me I would have the odds on my side. I have shown my dog too, as I did my former GSP's in the past, in my opinion very good for socializing a dog, teaches a dog good behaviour under plenty of distraction. Good luck with your search, all the best!

[@wolfsbane1991]

Great video, very professional. Loved the slo-mo shots of the horses! I love dogs but I'm truly a horse person by heart :D

[@loudloveen]

Germanic dog breeds are usually more versatile than breeds from Great Britain. I have a German Short hair pointer who will push out rabbits, For some reason she won't point them, plus point and retrieve game birds. She will even sit and retrieve doves.Any vermin didn't live long, groundhogs rats and voles were killed as soon as she saw them She also was very protective of my wife and son. More than once her bared teeth and the growl from deep in her chest made people think twice about it. Sadly she is now 14 and has slowed down to where she sleeps most of the time.

[@Dadecorban]

[@peterjet44]

Awesome Video! It would be awesome to see a video on the Deutsche Drahthaar to see the differences between the two of them!

[@ve3yjt]

Peter Davis not a lot of difference. DDs are registered with the VDD rather than the AKC, so they are not eligible for competition in AKC dog shows. Very little difference in physical characteristics. AKC allows white but penalizes black coat GWPs, wrt conformity, while VDD allows black, but rejects solid white patches larger than 3” (tick coat is the correct coat) for breeding qualification (there is no score penalty, as they aren’t a show breed, but an incorrect coat would be disqualified for breeding). Other than that DDs must be field tested before qualifying for breeding, while any two registered GWPs can be bred and produce a brood that qualifies for registration as GWP.

[@benlucy941]

[@michaelangelogarcia118]

One time my GWP pointed at a squirrel and I said my release word never thinking she’d catch it. Sure enough she did and I as a 14 year old emotional girl had to praise her for doing what she’s born to do while holding back tears since I was the reason she got it 😂 great tempered and amazingly behaved dog. Oh and only dog at daycare that when playing fetch returned the ball to the workers there 😂 sweetest dog ever. RIP pickly. 💜

06:35 I just really love this shot here

[@kevinlynch3588]

How would you compare them to a pudelpointer?

[@ve3yjt]

Similar. Depending on breeding, you can find a particular Pudelpointer that is more like a typical GWP, or vice versa. PPs are *cough* GENERALLY felt to be less energy in the house. Somewhat less aggressive, but that is a general stereotype. They’re quite close cousins, the GWP having been bred from PPs. Both are fantastic versatile breeds.

[@ve3yjt]

Of course the PP is generally field tested to qualify for breeding, like the DD, rather than the GWP, which is a little more lax in breeding qualification (basically as long as the sire and dam are both registered GWPs, they’re good to breed)

[@animalobsessed1]

I feel quite lucky now, as I was considering asking for a dogumentary on this breed, since this is the only source that seems to give honest information about dog breeds. Does anyone know which sheds more, Wirehaired or smooth haired German Pointer?

Great video but for the awesome content you put out, you should do a separate video on the Drahthaar. They are superior by far. I groom several, including the top Drahthaar in the world and there is nothing like them. Higher standards than the GWH means a better dog truer to its purpose.

[@307outdoors8]

I agree, I wish we had higher standards in America with all breeds. Too many backyard breeders and puppy mills churning out dogs strictly for money because they are "papered". In my opinion, this is why we have so many issues with certain breeds like labs and goldens.

Interesting how the Deutsch Drahthaar is bred and treated in the US. And also somehow saddening. The dogs show in this video would never have passed the breeding tests in Germany. In Germany the DD is only sold to owners of a hunting license by breeders b/c it's a friendly yet demanding dog to own. I was pretty much astonished about the controversy in the US about Kristi Noem. It seems in the US a DD (or rather GWP) is sold to every moron (like Noem). Of course those dogs are overwhelming for people with a lack of skill and character. But they aren't too demanding. I'm not a skilled dog trainer or pro hunter. But our DD is both a very talented hunter and a obedient family member. Our younger kids frequently take her into her bed (although I find this rather unhygienic) and she likes to cuddle like on ordinary pet dog although in the field she is a natural born killer.
