    German Wirehaired Pointers vs other pointing breeds??

    My experience is that the longer the GSPs have been in states the less emphasis most breeders put on fur aggression. And the closer the bloodline is to Germany the more likely. GWPs also but even if the breeder doesn't breed for it, you're more apt to get a throwback that will have the fur gene...

    Retirement hunt

    I saw a good meme yesterday. It was a Geaney with a turban looking quizzical at someone sitting with their 3 dogs from their childhood. Made me puddle up.

    German Wirehaired Pointers vs other pointing breeds??

    Absolutely and I'll go one step farther and say that it's not out of the question to have a little too much of that fur focus! You may think that's cool until it kills the neighbor's little girl's cat in front of her eyes. Don't ask me how I know.

    German Wirehaired Pointers vs other pointing breeds??

    Not sure if Treborwolf is still in business or not. They do still have a web sight. You may be all wet, but you are correct in my opinion. I once trained to a pretty high degree. My dogs were impressive. But when you release them to hunt it's mostly genetics.. Don't get me wrong, there must be...

    German Wirehaired Pointers vs other pointing breeds??

    Theres an older thread on here somewhere. Theres several owners on here. Ghost Point is a really good breeder local to me. Has a great youtube channel. Eric Forrester, I think. The best bird dog I've ever owned though was a Treborwolf dog. Be careful. The breed is getting so popular I'm betting...

    Any dangerous natural features you encounter while hunting?

    Not while hunting but, a few years ago I was fishing a big pond from the bank. There was a place where water entered the pond from a spring up hill. It was grown up with willows and briars, so I had never fished there. I could cast to it but for some reason I decided to fight my way through it...

    Short people

    Richard Flaherty, Audi Murphy. My dad served with Murphy in the 3rd army. Sometimes I think the short guys need to prove something. One of the best quail hunters I ever met was about 5'5''. He could keep up and outshoot anyone.

    Short people

    Well, I'm 5'8. I feel pretty short when with my grandsons, 6' 3 and 6'5. My dad was 5'7 and 140. He was a hell of a man.

    Turkey

    I think scouting depends on how much ground you have to hunt on. Back in the day when all the turkeys were on public ground, I would start scouting hard a couple weeks before season. Sometimes it worked sometimes they were miles away from where I spent countless hours scouting and scheming...
