nrat 8 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 i like the vislas espesialythe wire haired ones,but have you thought of a GWP they seem that bit tougher and i think that they take to water work better[my opinion only] i use mine mainly wildfowling and shes not bad,good luck with whatever you get,jim Quote Link to post

Thanks gary Yup I know what you mean, unfortunately there is too much show blood on her pedigree, the natural drive and instinct just isn't there, she's great as a beating dog, flushes etc, not bothered with the gun, but no hunt and point, she retrieves ok, nice soft mouth, lives in the house, would be a nice pet/beating dog for someone Nic Quote Link to post
