farmerkev09 104 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Now I ask this question hope I don't sound stupid but I like the look of both short haired and wired haired pointers is that the only difference between them or are there temperaments and hunting abilities different. My friend does a lot with his dog and the muscle and figure looks amazing I think that's what draws me more towards the short haired Quote Link to post
HPR 1,160 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think the short haired more head strong in my experience any way . And also I think the gwp are better in the water I've seen a few gsp not like the water . But they was bred in this country . Where the gwp just seem to like water as pups . Quote Link to post
Naustroms 92 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Temperaments are generally different but that can depend a lot on who you get the dog from. Wirehaired is a more laidback dog indoors. GWP seems to have a stronger natural desire for the water. 1 Quote Link to post
foxhound 9 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I work GSP's and GWP's as search dogs, both work really well and have loads of drive,the main difference for me is the GWP stands up to bad weather much better and does better living in an outside kennel than the GSP's,the weather issue is slighty different for search dogs as we stand around for quite long periods seaching crowds etc,i'm not sure it would be a problem in the field 2 Quote Link to post
