i had a weimaraner my whole life. he sadly passed away this year i’m january. i loved him so much and he was the best dog ever. but german shorthaired pointers are my other favorite dog breed that i really want. i’m trying to convince my dad to get a german shorthaired pointer. i love both breeeds and one day hope to have both of them loving with me
Hey! I hunt upland and over the years have owned 3 Weimaraners and 2 GSPs. All have been wonderful in the field. They have made my life wonderful. Agree with you 100%.
Which one is more energetic?
My GSP-Weim mix dog is the best dog I've ever had. He's loyal, gentle & courageous The only con is him insisting to be under covers.
they love to snuggle.
YES, I own both of these breeds, 2 weims a gsp and a silver lab puppy! They're amazing dogs all three of em
Which one is more energetic of the two?
Weims are such an underrated breed. Most families aren’t active enough to keep them happy so it makes sense why they aren’t super common. But they make such good family and hunting dogs.
Fully agreed- had 3 weimies- missing them( superdogs/clever)- can't have 1 again due to my health😢
Team Weimaraner here !!! Love both breeds but defiant Wei’s are my pick
I am on team Wiemy too! They are just so cute and excellent to snuggle
without a doubt Weimaraner for me. My girl lived to 16 yrs 3 months, she taught me so much about how to live in the moment and enjoy life
Weims for life. My weim had the hunting instinct from birth. Gave him a dead pheasant at 3 months and it flipped the switch. He ranges perfect distance and finds birds like no other all with just hunting him. He didn’t need formal training it was already in him.
You are fortunate. I’ve had 2 Weims helped train another and a Vizsla. For certain AKC hunting ratings I had to do a lot of training. The retrieving was the easiest but the steady solid point through wig and shot was more challenging due to the strong chase instinct.
@@Rzagski i agree. While my Blue isn’t perfectly classic in his hold, I have had him hold a picture perfect point on a bird in the open and I couldn’t get him to break and flush it until the bird actually moved. He was just locked. He naturally ranges perfectly and doesn’t stray out of range. He does great for me as a sportsman as he doesn’t compete.
How often and for how long can they run
@@sultanmatteen47 depending off the outside temp (hot days will wear him out sooner) but I have hunted him on hilly terrain for a good 3 hours and he was still good to go. He will run for quite a bit. He will crash when we get home and sleep. If I hunt him real hard and warm weather I like to give him a day to recover but I can hunt him back to back days if I wanted, I just choose to give him a rest day as any athlete would need. That is for hunting and brush busting but just running he will go all day.
Only rarely has any of my Weimaraners gone further than gun range and they always look back to make sure they don't lose track of me. If I change directions they always go to front.
On my 4th weim and I can confirm they are very brave and will defend you if needed. They know how to separate friend from foe very well.
GSP = Best. Dog. Ever.
I got a GSP and Weimaraner mix
I have a pointer shepherd mix and he’s awesome!! 😁
GSP Lab puppy here. Early days , just 13 weeks old. So much energy
My gsp weimeraner cross is a magnificent animal who’s aim is always to please .loyal and loving
I am Edward I am from Bolivia and I love all your hunting videos and more about the weimaraner arms ....
Some Weims are still bred in Germany as a true “forester’s dog” and as such are very good protection dogs. Some have even passed Shutzhund style tests
You know some good breeders ?
You know some good breeders ?
@@Tommy-nt6wv years ago I knew a couple breeders that I’d heard were good, but I’ve since forgotten them…that said if you’re serious about the breed Craig Koshyk has a gun dog encyclopedia he wrote on all the continental pointing breeds, that has a ton of info…he also has had Weims with short hair and longhair as hunting dogs and could probably give you some breeder names if you reached out to him in Facebook or instagram. He’s always replied to my messages in the past
I bought an electric scooter to walk with my dog, I feel it is the best option to exercise a weimaraner!! Mine loves to walk/run everyday
I have one of each plus a Labrador, been having some problems with the weimaraner since we don't hunt, he gets 2 times a week outings where he performs great but gets a bit anxious with 3 daily walks on a regular day
Old but, a good way ( if it's off lead trained ) to wear them out extra is to play fetch while walking,
Would like to see a fenrir channel focusing on the magnificent boerboel too
We'll see what we can do!
We have a Boerbel-American bulldog. Great dog. Bull in a China shop tho. Our GSP-Weim is much more coordinated; almost cat like.
I have a vizsla and am deciding between a weimaraner and GSP. This video did not help at all. It makes me want all 3 :)
They are all good dogs 🤷🏼♀️
I've owned and trained all three - and I love all three breeds. They are quite a lot more different than people think, and I wish I lived where having one of each was possible
@@MovieViking Update: I got a GSP and yes, very different to the Vizsla.
@Trissyboy how so
Weimaraner team here. I love the breed and it’s the only dog I’ll have.
I have both breeds and i love them
30 years owning weimaraners and hunting with them lucky enough I work for myself so always had them around the job great dogs and they would mind you all day long they love the jeep and are great with people and just known when something are someone is wrong they are not for first time owners think long and hard I'm lucky with where I live and what I do minimum 5k off the lead walk every night and more at the weekend two off my dogs are over ten so i have to walk them separate to the others not able to keep up I just love this breed my father got his first pup from Germany in the 70s and we haven't looked back and his father was a Kerry blue man these dogs are born to please and the Irish country side is where they excel come on the grey ghost
my Weim girl lived to 16 yrs 3 months, every morning (very early morning before it would start to get hot) we would go out to the desert and walk/free run for around 1-2 hrs, I walked around 5k, but her GPS Tracker would always show she did anywhere from 13K to 15K each morning. Watching her run was like poetry in motion, so graceful and so fast, and the most intelligent dog I have ever owned
Do you know any good breeders
@@Tommy-nt6wv sorry tommy I dont out of the loop for a while but if you contact the weimaraner club they will point you in the right direction I find the females better more willing to learn and smaller than the males I'm currently with out one myself at the moment work commitments I'm not even looking best of look but dont be afraid to look at the Hungarian visslas I have taken a fancy to them lately
I have A mixed of the two breeds he is the absolute best dog ever and he's 95 pounds
Where i can find a GSP puppie?
I have a 6 year old female Viszla and would like to pair her with a female SHP...for bird hunting in the American Midwest. Would they be compatible in your opinion?
My Viszla is extremely friendly, a tireless hunter and everybody's sweetheart!
I'm on my second Weimaraner The current one is 10 months old they can have a mind of their own and don't leave one inside your home unless you want your home destroyed
How much does a weim / short hair pointer mix usually cost?
Not to be rude, but "if you have to ask..." you may not have the money to fund the correct care, vets, nutrition, training etc. Both breeds are working dogs and are very demanding and the price of the puppy is an insignificant fraction of the total cost in their lifetime, and even of the cost of the first two years.
Omg..I have always thought the GSP looked just like a Weimaraner or Dalmatian just with more unique colorings.
Could you please compare GSP to English pointer?
What are the both like in scent detection?
Solid video 📹
I really want a gsp but I work a full time job. I got my first gsp when I was 12 and I trained him to go off leash in a field and on our lawn in just 3 weeks at the age of 15 weeks. I work a full time job and I am going to give him 1 hour of field exercise in the morning and 1-2 hours when I come home. I will also be paying a neighbourhood kid to walk my dog around the block and play with him in my backyard for a bit. Do you think my dog will be ok.
We actually have a video on one of our other channels looking at the best dogs for full time workers: ua-cam.com/video/tkpyuPizz6M/v-deo.html&pbjreload=101
Thanks for the video just a quick question im looking to get my first bird dog to use for falconry your choice english pointer vs german shorthaired vs brittany spaniel
I'm going to muddy your selection here and suggest you look at a Vizsla as when they were first used in Hungary over a 1000 years they were used for falconry. There was/is a person in Ontario who used Vizsla's specifically for falconry - I don't know if they are currently still active.
Got a weim and can testify to being distracted and hypo during training:D
Weimaraners are best! PERIOD
Pff , I have both breeds 😅
Gosh, keep your hands to yourself, boy, and get them out of my face, will ye?! You're exaggerating it! That's not even sign language, so what is that supposed to be? It's totally out of tune and unrhythmic, and I can't think of anyone I've ever met who gesticulates so pointlessly and pokes holes in the air everywhere while actually just talking. You have to be careful not to suddenly lift off, it seems. Terrible to watch and listen to. Next time watch your videos yourself before you upload them, ask friends if you have any (btw, is that how you talk to people irl?) or practice in front of a mirror and ask yourself if that still looks normal.
I've had Weimaraners for about 35 years and am looking, possibly, for a slightly smaller breed for what will likely be my last dog. From what I've learned, there are some temperment differences with the GSP. As the video mentioned, I've found that Weimaraners are fearless and will go after an attacker. I've never owned a gun shy Weimaraner. They have been indifferent to people other than family, and their special person. Oddly, Weimaraners don't seem to whine, like at all, but they love to bark at threats, or if left alone. In the field, they seldom move beyond gun range, as they want to stay close, but not too close to their person. They are generally assertive and will dominate with other dogs. I would appreciate some information on the GSP, if anyone cares to chime in.
Do GSP typically range further than 50 yards from a person on foot? I don't want to be looking for a lost dog, as I've seen a number of them on opening day running about. Never has a Weim wanted to lose sight of me even for a minute. They frequently look back to make sure where I'm going. However, I think it would be refreshing to have a dog that is more friendly with people and enjoys play with other dogs.
Agree with all mentioned. Own both breeds and noticed gsp is a whiner and doe range further out. Taught gsp to check in where the weims did naturally. Love both breeds but weim is my favorite of the two
@@kokadjooutdoors620 Thanks for your feedback. I did end up with another Weimaraner.
@@williewonka6694 trying to rescue one now hopefully works out
Shorthaireds can cover crazy amounts of ground fast and efficient without missing much. They're definitely gonna range out farther than most weims, but can easily be trained to hunt closer and check in more often. Gsp's are known for being the most versatile hunting dog for a reason. They can be dialed perfectly to most hunting situations. Depending on the genetics you get also can really make a difference in how your dog instinctively hunts. My current gsp had parents that won field trial competitions, so I knew they were fast hunting, relatively far ranging dogs with exceptional noses, which is exactly what I wanted. Gsp's are also great swimmers and have insane stamina on land or in the water. I've had multiple good water retrieves on Pheasants with my gsp. Hope some of this info helps.
We just lost our 12 year old Weim 3 days ago, and your video came up. When the time is right, I will be getting another weim, though I have considered a GSP before. I guess we will see when that time come. I Loved my weim boy dearly. Such a great companion.
So sorry to hear about your Weim! I'm glad you enjoyed our video and all the best with finding another canine companion when it's right for you 🐕
@@fenrirgermanshorthairedpoi3666 thank you so much :)
Nice, very accurate. Had a W. completely hand signal trained, did not need voice, both equally worked. lease not needed. Even in city condition. Could train to smell and search, and also reacted to individuals sense of feelings to me. Once person pointed a quick finger to me in a conversation. W quickly but harmlessly grasp, but no bite. Person always was competitive w me. Love swimming and recommend to live near swimming areas.
You got the subscribe my GSP brother, now bring the content. I recommend The history and useage of the GSP. like origins, pop culture and like geograpical usage . Like here in PA, I need a Bird alot more than a duck dog.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! We'll see what we can do in future videos!
I’m from pa to pheasants I take
i have both and love them!!!
I have weimaraner and its best crazy active dog:D..and i want a GSP friend for him:)
I love hunting and more with hunting dogs, be they bracos or pointer ... greetings ...
I took the dog quiz and got cane Corso but have a GSP lol
I didn’t hear anything he said because I was too distracted by the huge stain on his hand.
Why did you tell that the weimaraner has a coat colour to grey - blue ?! isn't recognize by any clubs.
My weimaraner is an amazing guard dog. He hears a squirrel outside at night, the whole house is waking up untill you go see whats going on. Stubborn dog and amazing energy. But i love my boy
Can you do a comparison of these breeds with the English Pointer? I feel that the English Pointer is an amazing breed but so underrated
They look all most a like
You talk funny bro!
I love both
Nice content!
What about Hungarian Vizsla, is it roughly same of a kind? Just curious, as once saw Weim and Vizsla roaming around together on a walk and noticed that they are both quite similar to GSP (except the colour, of course).
No, they may look quite alike except in size and colour, but Vizslas are on average very sensitive (most of them on another scale entirely compared to Weims and GSPs) and react very negatively to any testosterone-prone hunter trying to use hard (read: obsolete) training methods. Using positive-feedback and shaping they become very intelligent and creative problem solvers whether used for hunting, schweiss or any demanding activity. I have owned and trained Vizslas, Weimaraners, GSPs, Labradors, and even one GSD and a Leonberger. I prefer Vizslas, GSPs and Weimaraners over all other breeds, but even though they share some traits they are quite different.
I have owned Viszlas for 30 years. Loving family dogs and, in my opinion wonderful hunt, point and retrieve bird dogs. I want to add a GSH to the family and to the upland excursions.
@@michaelkeller9062 perants got gsp he's a lonely boy at the moment 😔 as are other dog had to be put down she old was on her last legs so trying convince them in a visula or another gsp he found it hard won't lie she was a collie jack Russel cross
I am bringing two weimaraner sisters in first week of April.
I have a 160 acre pecan farm. Lots of room to run!
