german and dutch lines

[quicksilver 0]

i have been talking to a few people regarding the GWP. I am happy this breed will suit my requirements but now it is more about getting the right pup and seeing what is on offer. one of the owners i have been talking with was telling me about some differences in the German lines and the dutch lines, i would be keen to hear peoples opinions on the differences

 

thanks in advance

drahthaar every time if you have the choice, i've just got my hands on one here and the quality is far better than i could have ever imagined.

I was looking at some of the Scandanavian blooded dogs ,I have heard some good reports about them but there is not much over our way but I would like find a good dog .

Heard some good stuff on the DD's, very impressive. So Kiwi, you got one then ? Lucky man.

If your interested in the German lines go speak to Kimmax GWPs.

 

Peter is the only UK person going over to Germany to trial his dogs.

I have one and she has Kimmax lines.

 

The breeder is very helpful.

 

Mad as a box of frogs though

I hear what your saying though there is a diffrence between GWP and the DD's, from what you say it has lines, could this mean there is other lineage one-eye ? Anyway cracking all rounder I think.

I'd second getting a Drahthaar. very pleased with mine.

i've had great work from my gwp's and stand by the breed, without getting too roped into a dd/gwp debate though i will state the german drahthaar is the cream of the crop when looking at wirehairs, if you can't get a drahthaar then a gwp with drahthaar blood is still a sound bet over a showbred or hot running trials bred gwp, mustwork, truvand,bareve and kimmax will be the first port of call when looking for a pup.

i know a litter has recently been whelped in the uk by a bitch similar to my own bitch with the same lines and over a proven czech sire ken vospet who is a DD and he has produced alot of navhda prized dogs.

The dog i lost a few years back was off a Danish import (the dannish ambasitor at Gavic), the breeder is sadly no longer with us, but he bred some cracking dogs.
