Hunter The German Wirehaired Pointer

[@markjones3531]

We recently lost our 3 year old GWP suddenly to autoimmune encehalitis. Heart breaking but your video warms my heart and makes me willing to love a GWP again!

[@rosemariemocan357]

That chicken-counting scene still haunting my dreams....Of all the breeds, charge a GSP with this job....it's just hilarious, crazy, exciting, hazardous and fascinating in the same time. The flock, apparently had the same opinion 😃.

Beautiful dog.

[@aidanbrexit4326]

Well trained mate. The running hare STOP Halt was well done

[@lloydbirch9023]

Aidan Brexit thanks.

[@naturecheck]

Really enjoyed your video of Hunter... best wishes from Germany! :D

[@tommypygall324]

My dog is nearly four now best hunting dog I ever had,sometimes he’s crazy but I guess he thinks the same about me👍

[@rosemariemocan357]

I am always inclined to give credit the dog first...😃; they are never wrong. You must be a great company to be with.

[@alwynroberts8465]

That’s an awesome dog. I hope it fulfilled its potential.

[@lloydbirch9023]

Thanks. He’s turned out great.

[@alwynroberts8465]

Out of interest what’s your take on what the dog should do after flushing. There’s lots of videos on here of the dogs flushing and running right after the birds. I am not sure if that’s acceptable in trials or out hunting. What do you think.

[@lloydbirch9023]

@@alwynroberts8465 in the UK it’s generally expected that the dog should be steady to flush and wait to be sent. That is what’s required if you are going to compete in field trials. Hunter is very hit and miss on that. In America the standard seems to be that the dog does not flush, that’s the handlers job, and the dogs is expected to get after the bird straight away.

I've had wirehairs for 26 years and will have them till I die.

[@maxinemccullough691]

Adorable, just absolutely adorable :-)

[@Waidman]

Very nice dog Hunter is! hope to own a gwp in the near future!

[@fingersmcgillicuddy]

Beautiful dog!

[@annawright4545]

He is like: "I am sorry Dad! I know Bird I don't know Sheep." "Are they dum' or somthn'?"

[@antoniocordova7937]

Beautiful dog! I'd love to own one. I don't know much about bird hunting but, I am very active. I bike, hike, swim, love the outdoors. Do I have to feed his bird hunting instincts?

[@buzzmct6242]

Antonio Cordova I have a wirehaired pointer and I duck hunt he is a great hunting dog but you sound like a very active person if you do all those activities a wirehaired pointer is a great dog for you and shure they may be bred to hunt but just because you don't hunt dosen't make a wirehaire any different but yea you should get one there great dogs and there great with active people 😀

[@antoniocordova7937]

Great, appreciate the advice. Thanks!👍

[@harveywetdog]

They feed their bird hunting instinct themselves which is why the section with the chickens is so well done (and the sheep!) An excellently trained dog

[@timothyshaw6118]

Thank you GERMANY 🇩🇪!

[@pakcanhunter]

Beautiful dog buddy. How old is he now.

[@troypower4733]

Long live the GWP!!

[@oilslick7692]

Fantastic control

[@mrspook9178]

Whats the difference between short-haired and wirehaired pointers

[@psxdadz]

Absolutely loved it :-)

[@japhillips87]

I have chickens and I'm about to pick up my Pudelpointer. How did you introduce him to them?

[@lloydbirch9023]

He'd seen them through the fence since he was 8 weeks old so they were not new to him. Keep them separate them at first and when his Sit command is 100% bring them closer.

[@japhillips87]

thanks

[@awetdog73]

Hi, thoughts on the temperament of gwp vs gsp please

[@damiendenvir7953]
