when you put it like that, I'm almost considering gender re-assignment! Who the feck else is going to pay a 60 year old man £15 plus an hour to stand in the warm and wave his hand about while he is watching telly? TC

You lot are going to piss yourselves when I tell you what I do now. Since I retired from fishing I have been Ironing clothes for a living. It helps pay the bills and I work in the warm and watch TV when working. TC

Insurance Company Want Full Summary Of My Driving Licence
Tiercel replied to j j m's topic in General Talk
Where would I stand then? I still have the old paper licence, no plastic card. Never had a reason to change it. TC -
True, a dog should hold a point when the animal / bird is static if the bird moves or tries to creep off before the flush command is given it is acceptable for the dog to follow the animal / bird. But once the command to flush is given, it then depends on what you have trained the dog to do on flush. In most formal instances the dog should drop to flush IE; falconry and walked up grouse, snipe, woodcock etc: But if the dog is allowed from a pup to chase the flush then pointing is not a problem, in fact I see it as a bonus allowing you to get closer to the dog before it gives chase. TC

I was going to say the same but the laptop crashed. I have had terriers that point, The point of the matter(pardon the pun) is that they only point static animals if an animal is moving it will follow. So the pointing is not really an issue. TC

The Deutsch Drahthaar are a separate breed to our GWP, in order for the Deutsch Drahthaar to be able to breed they have to pass working tests. http://sudlichenwald.com/drahthaar.htm TC

Jok, you really are as nutty as a fruitcake. TC

It seems that everyone likes the idea of this cross but very few commit to it, it made me wonder why? So I done a search and came up with 10 pages on the GWP as a pure and crosses. The search. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index.php?s=859cf6fecca96ed5cb61befb31ee2eaf&app=googlecse#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=german%20wirehaired%20pointer&gsc.page=1 One particular thread that is quite interesting. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/176044-pointer-greyhound/ It seems that the first cross is just not quick enough for people. One person put it down to the GWP's gait

Well are you going to show us the marvellous invention or just gloat? TC

I honestly do not understand why the GWP is not used more as a cross for a lurcher. It has far more to offer than any other donor dog. It has stamina to spare, can out hunt almost any other breed, very adaptable to any type of hunting, great constitution with intelligence by the bucket load. Down side is you have to understand the breed to get the best out of them, if you cannot work out how they tick then your in for a long hard slog getting nowhere. There of course other factors to take into consideration, once crossed you will to some extent loose some of the abilities that make the GWP

If anyone doubts the power of these dogs, just don't get in between one and what it is fighting with. I had to break a fight up one day and the GWP got hold of my leg thinking it was the other dog. This photo was taken a couple of weeks later and the puncture wounds had got infected. TC

Too true, mine were expected to and did many tasks, bushing for rabbits, ferreting, wildfowling, pigeon shooting, walked up woodcock and picking up on a shoot. Not only did they do all those different task but they did them as well as any dog that was dedicated to each task. One of my favourites was bushing with a long net where the dog would range looking for rabbits on rough ground. Once the dog found and came on point I would then set a long net where I thought the rabbit would bolt to then tell the dog to flush, brilliant sport. Ferreting. Some retrieving training.

Get the pup out on her own it will do her and you the world of good. TC

Same as any other dog if their trained right then no. But I am talking about the pure breed here not the cross. As I have said many times the GWP is not for everyone. If you can be comfortable watching a dog do it's own thing in the distance and have total confidence that you can still have control over that dog, then they may be for you. However, if you feel that letting a dog work large is not for you, for whatever reason, then leave them well alone. TC

It would taste much better with proper cheese. TC

I have a mate in Canada who hunts with them on horse back. When on the Prairie Grouse the dogs can be working up to half a mile away from them. As a HPR usually when they find they come on point, and wait for the command to flush. That said they can and are used for many other disciplines from ferreting to tracking deer. They are IMO the closest thing you will find to an all round dog. TC

The first dog I had was about 27" to the shoulder, but the second was only 25" and slightly lighter in build. TC

I love cheese in any shape or form. Try some Gorgonzola it smells like sweaty socks but tastes divine, soft and creamy with a light hint of bite from the blue veining. I love Stilton and the older the better for me really sweaty and moist almost sticking to the cellophane. TC

look a handy dog ,have you got any more pics As does yours Monkey, the 2nd pic down of yours looks like it could be the twin of mine. I had loads of pictures on my phone but they were wiped when it went in for repairs, I'll see if the missus has any. How old is yours and where did you get it from? Mine will be 5 this summer and came from near Hereford. Thanks cbx There is a chap in Hereford that has about half a dozen working GWP,s one of his dogs was the father of my first dog. They are big strong dogs with him and bred for working. TC
