I've had to wade into waist deep water to end a fight. We had 4 dogs trying to tag team the coon. We never had a clear shot from the bank. My young dog went under with coon on its head. I found myself standing in the water wondering "where are they coming up?" a second or two later they popped...

Bianca with the "A" litter; 10 pups, 5 boys and 5 girls.

pups due next week, feel free to contact me if interested.

I like hunting with my 2 Drahts. My current 2 dogs, 11 1/2 and 4 years old, work as an awesome team. Both are natural backers and I really enjoy watching them working as a team on a running bird. The second dog helps when one decides to take on a raccoon too.

Introducing my kennel, vom Verrückten Jäger (from the crazy hunter) and our upcoming pairing.

Our upcoming pairing. These will be some awesome hunters. Feel free to contact me for more info. vom Verrückten Jäger (from the Crazy Hunter).

I agree, It was 53 here in the southwest part. It's going to be a nasty fire season if we don't get a lot more snow.

I'm happy to share my Deutsch Drahthaar kennel, vom Verrückten Jäger (from the crazy hunter). We have a planned "A" litter early 2024.

the PP and DD were roughly created about the same time. The original breeds used to create the DD were the PP, Griff, German shorthair (kurdshaar) and a stickelhaar. On the DD Ahnentafels (pedigree) it will show the original mother line,

I currently own two Drahts (also a new kennel, vom Verrückten Jäger) and helped train and hunt a friend's Pudel Pointer. They are a lot alike but some differences that stand out. These could be individual dog specific differences but just what I see. The PP is a much softer dog and could not...

I like the thought of using #3s, about the same as lead #4s. I will say I have not had much luck shooting bismuth though. I need to pattern them to see what's going on. I honestly dont think I've been able to kill a bird with bismuth yet, I'm pretty good with lead but for what ever reason I...

I lead a Wounded Warriors hunt. We did well, every hunter had the opportunity to limit out but you know how it goes with shooting. Great dog work, 6 raccoon fights......

Some training I do with a pup is have a bird in a launcher and launch the bird the second you know the dog has scented the bird and dont allow the dog to chase. I typically use 3-6 birds with this drill and then the pup will lock up on first scent. I run Drahthaars so your experience may vary...

I like Cuga vests for my Drahts and wish they made one that would fit a Teckel (hunting wirehair dachshund). I have a medium-narrow and it fits my female Drahts (58 lbs) perfectly. I think their regular size is more sized for big Labs where as the narrow fits the German versatile best
