Recently started my female off after the moult. Here's a few from Sunday. One from a point and one from the ferrets.
-
Cheers, I'm sure that someone will be! I will put up a thread when I get chance!
-
All good thanks. I passed that bird onto a mate, he's having some sport with her, I'm flying a gos this season.
-
It could be a thyroid problem
-
Only just seen this post, yes it was the same bird!
-
Thats normally the way with them regular killing sometimes sorts them out. Keep us posted, good luck with her.
-
How's she doing noise wise Robert? My mate is struggling with his, constant screaming, doesn't stop.
-
Has she stopped screaming?
-
How's she acting after her stint in the pen?
-
Malcolm Allison does them but I have seen some decent ones on Ebay.

That's looks spot on Robert good luck with her!
-
Nice one George you've got your hands full there mate.
-
If he's offering you one at that price then I'd go for it mate!
-
Bite the bullet and go for the Gos I think you'll do well with it mate!

Apparently the two types were started from the same breeds so are, kind of a same breed different strain. The Deutsch-Drahthaar being a bit more laid back temperament wise. The GWP's have to do the tasks that you mention in order to attain their working certificate.
-
Mine has a great temperament with people and other dogs. I really don't know much about UK trials but I'm sure that the sire to mine is an open field trial winner.
-
The Danish bloodlines are more compact the German taller and more gangly. Mine is out of Danish imports from well tested working lineage. They have strict disciplines in their working tests, and must succeed in order to be bred from, unlike over here!
-
There isn't a lot of difference between them as falconry dogs, but the GWP is said to be the most versatile of the HPR breeds and can turn its hand to many disciplines. I know of a good few that ferret, pick up, retrieve pigeons, wildfowl, work as vermin dogs and work with hawks and falcons.

Hi David Yes I have a nice five foot stainless rotating ring perch that I will try her on later. When I bought mine I was told that she was an imprint but since tracking down the breeder and talking to him, I was told that she is parent reared and was kept and flown by the breeder. She was bred by Martin Bannister. Thank you! and the same to you with yours. Mark
-
Lol I thought the same but like you said when I read the explanation of how it works, it makes sense. I'm thinking about looking into getting one sourced. She is PR but very steady. Regards Mark
-
Thanks again David, yes a friend of mine used a loop perch to good effect. I have just revamped my raptor post, they work well, but the only down side is that they can't get down to bathe etc. I bought a Gos with bad feather damage on tail and primary tips, she's moulting out well now. Just exploring different methods of tethering for when I reclaim her from the moult. I don't think that any one method is perfect for every bird, its trial and error. What works for one hawk may not work for another. I have been speaking to some of the US Gos men and they all swear by the Meng tail saver perch.
-
Thanks for the reply David, I have seen that one before. Thats the type of thing that I was thinking about. As you have said it keeps them tethered while still allowing them the freedom of going outside for a bath or sitting inside out of the weather. The best of both worlds.
-
Hi David I don't suppose that you have any pics of the small trolley system? I'm just looking at doing one myself, always good to see other peoples set ups.
