buchse 0 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 We have Deutsch Langhaars pure German bred since 1999. This kennel has owned HPR's for 25 years and can say these are the best dogs we have owned. They are exceptional trackers, hunters and game finders, can swim in the coldest of temperatures and are soft mouthed retrievers. We have used them for all types of quarry and are hoping to complete blood tracking with the Bavarian Mountain Hound Society. All our imports have UK field trial awards which to us proves this breed is adaptable to UK field practises. They are the oldest of the 3 German hunting breeds and are used for feather, fur, deer and boar. They are not longhaired shorthairs and are spaniel like in appearance. I hope you like this breed as much as we do. Quote Link to post

Their heritage includes the spanish falconing dog which is also in continental and english spaniels but also included are scent hounds, water dogs and rummage dogs which were the foundation of the German spaniel the wachtelhund. Old scottish setter blood was added when the flintlock was invented to increase nose and pace but not in such quantity as to change breed type, hence the discription of the breed is German marmalade with a little English sauce. In their country of origin they were foresters dogs for boar and deer but are equally adapted at feather. Ours have worked all birds including snipe and woodcock. They are renowned for their swimming. As for working, there is absolutely no show blood in this breed, all German stock are sold only to hunters and they must be assessed for ability and conformation before they are bred.Prufungs are the same for all 3 German breeds . As for temperament they are kind and biddable with an eagerness to please. I do use them for picking up on farmers shoots, grouse counting etc but they are definatly a roughshooting, deer tracking and wild fowling dog.They have been used for falcons too, so basically they can do everything.
