German Pointers

[carinatauk]

Hi

I have come on here to see if any PHers have either German Shorthaired Pointers or German Wirehaired Pointers. I am looking for people's experiences and how they found they pets [hunting companions].

I am currently looking at both of these breeds along with Braque Francais Pyrenees.

I intend to use them for bird hunting [flush, point and retrieve], Field Trial work and companionship.

I have had Springers and Cockers previously and have plenty of time for training and exercising them

Thanks in advance

OP what did you decide in the end

I saw one GWP that I was very interested in but missed the opportunity due to illness. Not too many around at the moment. I did however get offered a 4 month working cocker spaniel, which I decided to train [plus it saves her ending up in a rehome situation]. She is great and too be honest my leg would not have offered a fair exercise program for a GWP, at the moment. There will be a right time but not just yet.

Someone commented earlier about shoots drying up, I am finding it harder to tie into them and the big shoots are getting too expensive.
