PoshPikey 560 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have a GWP - they are nesh and will tackle anything if you want them to. Basically what Sirius said. by the way they are no slower than a GSP. Crossing a vizla would produce much the same as a lot of the HPR bloodlines overlap. I don't think you get as much fire from a viz as you would from a GWP. Quote Link to post
jossa 966 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well the pointer that I would be using I own and he has no problem dispatching foxes, he's quite a leggy pointer at about 26tts. I have the choice of the saluki grey bitch or I have my own greyhound bitch that is a around the same size and she is a very good all round dog. its just a thought that has crossed my mind, I wouldnt be doing it for money etc. I just think it would be a handy cross for some people.

I don't think you get as much fire from a viz as you would from a GWP. Any one that i know that works germans or has in the past will say the GSP is a faster and further ranging dog than the GWP. Also from the ones ive shot over that definatly is the case, the GSP is a smaller lighter framed racier dog, (fact) there are exceptions to every breed but as a whole thats my opinion and the opinions of the people i know with them. The majority of of the GWP's come more aggressive and firey than GSP's, its a common trait with GWP. Quote Link to post

spindolero 1,111 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 doesnt surprise me that the GWP and X's are despatching quickly, they're known as a rugged breed and more importantly are a working breed, you dont see many in pet homes put it like that. how many of the bull stud dogs in bullx are tested in any way shape or form? 2 Quote Link to post
coverdogs 888 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 He is a cracker coverdogs, very strong looking dog, whats his speed like? He's not the fastest dog but ok for what i use him for mostly beating cover with hounds he is fast enough for rabbit and fox that's all i use him on i would describe him as an ideal terriermans dog as i say he is only in his first season but more than pleased with him. 1 Quote Link to post

krawnden 1,036 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I can imagine gwp crosses being really useful. The real Deutsch Drahthaars in Germany are serious dogs that are expected to dispatch fox, wounded deer, trail blood etc all in adddition to the more typical hpr gundog work. Some of this type of blood in a lurcher can do nothing but good I would imagine. Quote Link to post
