Runthemhard 7 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I have heard a lot of the German breed gun dogs were breed to hunt fur as well as birds. Just curious if anyone still huts stuff like rabbit fox deer or hogs with them? Quote Link to post

Dont get me wrong if I didn’t have other dogs and kids she would have been fine but she took to leathering the other dogs, killing cats and was off with all the family except me. Not saying that’s how they all are, just my personal experience Quote Link to post

jessdale 416 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Some of these continental hpr breeds are incredible animals. I had a gsp for 11 years. Personally I would only ever be interested in GSP and GWP. I have seen the other hpr breeds in trials but would only be interested in those two breeds. On paper they are incredible animals, but in reality a good one is very very rare indeed. A hpr that does it all , and does it well, will be as common as a donkey egg !!!! 1 Quote Link to post

No I just hunt her more like a hound. Let her go and she’ll go look for scent she’ll take a line on them. She’ll give mouth when she’s behind them. She getting there with the marking and she will retrieve one to me once it’s been shot if there’s no other dogs around me. She hasn’t gone on point at anything yet and I’m not over fussed if she does or doesn’t 1 Quote Link to post

She hasn’t gone on point at anything yet and I’m not over fussed if she does or doesn’t As I thought but was just curious. do you run her with lurcher or flush to gun or is she just for putting them to ground for the terriers like? I like them mate. One day maybe I'll have one in kennels as something a bit different but complementary to spaniels. Quote Link to post
