Thanks ordered one I hope it's wat I need

I’d love to hear some comments on this: I have been considering this breed for a sport called bikejoring. It’s sort of sled dogging pulling a bike. I’m wondering if that strong hunting drive could be redirected into pulling at a run. It gets to sled pulling in the winter.

Sounds to me you hunt bagels and wild hogs dude. You do know most upland game hunters have what we call soft mouths. You got some bad ass dogs but that is NOT atypical. Good luck with those bad asses but they do not represent the breed.

Love the brief side eye..

It's so refreshing to hear an authentic voice about wirehairs

He got style!

💯 hunting dog 🐾 unique pedigree they are the work dog (owners need to be carefully screened before taking ownership).

Love your channel 🐾 I am an owner of a GWP and I adore my boy dearly ❤ his sporting dog abilities are why we have a GWP to bird hunt. I like how you share the uniqueness of the breed they are prey driven it is very important to understand, what activities they need to keep them from being destructive and good behavior.

❤

Have fun Puppy❤

Beautiful

Used to bang dog bowls on floor when feeding beagle pups.

Love this breed. We have a GWP who is 9 months old and exhibits same behaviour. He is so anxious and protective. We are trying to work through it with training. He can walk and pass other dogs ok with distractions, he mis much calmer but he hates new people or strangers entering our space.

Beautiful ! Great job, both of you

Convinced me..

Great Video! Hoping my collar arrives next monday!

I love all the people trying to act like what he saying is not true. He raises them and has seen far more than you! You should not leave these dogs with small children. Ask me how I know....

My dad got a female GWH 50 lbs from a man who trained seeing eye dogs. He had her a good while training her but couldn't get her to not go after his wifes cat. Cat lost an eye! Wife said no more. Dad found out about this dog from his hunting club. Got her at 2or3 ys old. Was good on the leash. Loved running around in the backyard. Was a great pheasant hunter . I was so happy for him. I often took her to the golf course, and she would run run run in just a few seconds. Would come back after a while when called. Once l saw her tracking deer in a distance. But she didn't catch up because she came back towards me. Endless energy. When at my dads home, she stayed by his side or be a house dog or loved being in the backyard. Caught sparrows and ate them. Very submissive to brothers' golden retreiver. Chased me in the backyard, and l jumped on me and knocked me down, the only time that happened. Loved going over my dads hunting partners home. Slept with them at night. So gentle and sweet. I noticed her stalking a young child as we walked in the school fields. Also, a small dog. Was always careful with her after that. Originally, she was owned 2 or 3 years by a 20-something young lady before trying to be a seeing eye dog. Near the end of Dad's hunting"career," she tried to eat the pheasants. He had to get to the bird in a hurry before she did. He was not a good disciplinarian. He got lucky and had her from three to 13 yrs old. I loved that dog, too. Loved hiking with her. Im glad she wasn't like the male dogs in this video! Is this true mainly for male dogs? A neighbor has a has a black shorthair female dog. He says it's a GWH. But it doesn't look like one. Definitely looks like a hunter. Has the body shape of a GWH.

Bully's are not mean nor ruthless, people are. GWP's may be but don't compare them to bully's

That was interesting Mike. An observation was that each of the dogs there were male. My introduction to the breed was back in 1994 when I was just getting into deer and I was mentored once or twice by a retired Para Warrant Officer. He had a dog that was the size of a small pony. A lovely dog but boy was he huge, a handful and I made a mental note of that. I set my sights on one day getting a GWP but decided to wait until the time was right. First kids then wait till the youngest was 5. In 2006 we got a GWP bitch, yes I recognise all of the traits you mentioned, and she could definitely test you but I genuinely believe bitches are easier that dogs in a family / house situation. If bored she could still wreck something, she couldn't be trusted with cats, hated the postman and bin men, but she behaved with other dogs (her initial training involved lots of socialising). Another thing is despite being an amazingly well built muscular bitch at her heaviest she was 32kg but most of the time somewhere between 28 - 30kg so only 2/3rds the weight of a dog, if you say they are 100lbs. Our girl lived to 15 years old and she was loyal to the whole family, broke our hearts when we lost her. I am pleased to say we are getting our next girl in a week's time. My wife's 3rd pointer. Her 1st was a GSP.

If your hunting dog is killing everything it’s a bad gun dog. I’m sorry but they’re not supposed to destroy your bird. They retrieve and point. They shouldn’t be ripping apart everything around them. They absolutely are a ton of work and need rules and respect. They shouldn’t even be this big there’s something up with your wirehairs

This is a fantastic video, I think people need to keep in mind that this isn't about every german wire hair pointer, Just like it's not every pitbull is not a bad aggressive dog. I completely agree with what he's saying that these dogs have a potential to have aggression bred into them because they are a high powered, specifically bred animal to do a job. Loving and affection and a lot of time with their owners creates a bond and an environment where that dog is hosted by people and trusts people, but just like with a pit bull, the wrong motions or treatments or set of environmental variables can set a stage for these dogs To become aggressive. Unfortunately, too many of these dogs go to a home were they are not getting enough of that attention, whether it's an outdoor kennel situation or in home situation, these dogs need an excessive amount of attention and training. too many of these dogs get put down because they do become Aggressive through no fault of their own.

I have a GSP now I’ve had just about every kind of bird dog and retriever you can think of. She is the sweetest thing you would ever meet ASAP when she’s in her honey mode, any of these breeds are not for people that are lazy or not actively being outdoors and understanding that bird dogs have to run and hunt at least two hours a day or more. Then they are an amazing family couch, potato dog but if you don’t work them, they will let you know, and you will regret it. Enjoyed your post, but however, being kennel all the time it’s not good. My GSP was coming along really well a bit timid with the gun, but had the best nose, smart natural bird dog I have ever had. Until her kennel got struck by lightning.. she is an amazing companion family dog I have had.!! She also loves to hunt and is wide-open for a few hours every morning about drive you nuts . Lizards, chipmunks, rabbits, possums, and any kind of bird.

For the record, a "griff or griffon" isn't a german wirehaired pointer Just an FYI.

Had several GWP and certainly not had these problems. These amazing dogs are not for everyone. They need a job and love exercise. But more so, they love there people. Those you have are a failure of ownership.

What this man is saying is spot on. I have a 4 year old GWP, raised from 8 weeks. I was fortunate enough to find a professional bird dog trainer because at 7 months I was at my wits end. These dogs are stubborn and relentless. superstar hunting skills but the trainer told me, "these dogs are stubborn" and he was correct. I run Hank everyday, play fetch multiple times a day, he chews and destroys all toys I have purchased, and he is a thief. He steals socks, hats, gloves, wrapped gifts from the counter so its best to never leave them unattended in your house for one minute. He does nOt chew them up, just takes them to his bed and guards them like they are a prize. He follows me everywhere I go, is tremendously loyal and protective if someone walks by our house especially another dog. Loves people though and especially children but HE WILL KNOCK THEM OVER in his over-the-top excitement. PLEASE, DO NOT GET ONE OF THESE DOGS BECAUSE THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. It will not work and is horribly unfair to the dog. If you are active (7 days a week) hike, hunt have property where they can run MAYBE just do your research.

Have had four wirehairs raised from pups. They were excellent with family, super hunters, and loyal as they come. Not doubting your knowledge , but they are an all-around great dog in the field and in the home. None of our wirehairs ever spent a day or night in an outdoor kennel

Thanks for giving us a view of Wilbur!

In before the DD, DK,DL army freaks out about calling them wirehairs,shorthairs etc 😂

What’s the update on this guy?

Very cool. My first impression was "that dog is a beast!" He also seems pretty tall. I have seen these before, but only at a Pheasant Fest.

Excellent video and explanation.

True

That's awesome thanks for sharing that.

Writing to you from North Wales. We have a rescue Griffon that came to us via a charity in Spain. Our boy has travelled. Been with us 7 yrs today. A lovely dog, but so help me they can be stubborn & you have to want to get inside of their heads because they are a bit complicated. I grew up with dogs & have always had dogs ..... have been bitten but then again so was my son as a child. One bite & you respect dogs forever. Personally I would say a Griff needs to go to experienced dog owners or in the perfect world experienced dog owning hunting families. Bless you for the good work your doing over there.

I have a pudelpointer. Very easy with humans, never shown any agressivity towards humans or dogs but a big prey drive instinct, she killed many raccoons and ground squirrels and I cannot leave the dog with any cats. Overall a very good dog but yes they need an active life.

On our second griff. Not a hunting family but best family dogs we have ever had. Need lots of exercise (we all could use that) but as sweet, loving, snuggly as can be. These dogs adjust to what you’re doing but definitely need to get lots of exercise, outdoor time. Smart and easy to train. Really the best dogs

I have one of these and wouldn’t trade her for the World. She hunts all day on our property. She hikes with us, plays with us, cuddles with us and is very close to our labradoodle. These dogs need tons of exercise to match their energy. They are loyal and loving and train easy.

Thank you for the reality check!

I had WHP all my life and if he was like this the OWNER made something wrong. They are hunting and great FAMILY dogs. I got one 4 years old has been like this and i made him a great companion, past away age 16 and i still miss him. I am so upset hearing all the time the blames put on the dogs - its the owners

I’m a very new hunter, 2nd year hunter. I have been wanting to get a pup to go hunt with me a couple buddies of mine and a short haired pointer that one of them has. I want one of these for sure. Training wise I’m not sure how to train them or any of that. I want to find out if I’m able to handle one of these pups for sure. They are beasts for sure. I have a family with 3 kids and our youngest 15 years old but allergic to pups and my wife is a little allergic as well but I hear these are pretty good with allergies. I think I’m going to try to reach out to you guys to figure out what I need to know to figure out if I can make it work with one of these or not.

Love it.

I get what you're doing. I have a Draht I set basic boundaries, did basic obedience and I make sure we get outside on most days and he is an absolute pleasure. I don't think these are the only dogs that need structure, but if you can't provide structure these dogs aren't for you.

Chief is a very good dog! I wish I had the ability to adopt him. Such a beautiful dog.

I have my 3rd GWP and none of them fits what you say. None ever had a kidsproblem, actually all 3 loved kids never been a problem never did overrun one or even scratch. Couch yes deffinitly, playing ones a week with a schoolclass in 2nd grade means approx 8 years old and all jump on the field throughing sticks giving goodys run with her. We go in the forrest looking for dear. She strives around lets me know there is one and the same minute i blow my whistle and she turns and comes back. You make a realy bad picture of them - i disagree and dislike your bad commends.

This sounds more like my Brittanys than my GWP

Thats one hell of a dog. I'm not a field trial guy, but I have never seen someone pick up a dog on point and have them keep the point. That was wild.

I raised two male GWP's together. I am a devoted owner that dedicated the time needed to keep them as house pets. By far the most challenging breed I've owned. They needed four mile walks daily where they attempted to pull my arm out of the socket at the sign of every squirrel. They needed constant socializing to keep them from being dog aggressive. It became obvious to me early on that they should only go to working/hunting homes where they can do what they were bred to do. They were loving, affectionate, couch potatoes if their daily needs were met but would definitely find trouble without enough stimulation. I loved turning them loose in the woods or the mountains, it was pure joy for them. I researched the breed extensively before choosing them but unfortunately there was not near enough info/warnings regarding their temperament and demands. I feel like the breeders need to be more responsible and selective in placing their pups in homes where they will be worked.

Thank you for helping these bird dogs.

Thank you for what you are doing. This breed is very close to my heart, and I just appreciate the work you are putting into these boys and girls.
