GWP dude, the breed is being worked on hard here with good matings with strong bloodlines. This particular dog (Brutus) is the NZ novice field champ and belongs to a mate of mine who lives and breathes dog work. I'm getting quite enthusiatic about GWPs :)
Essentially (at least genetically) they are the same dog. Registration and testing differeniate the two. Whether Drahthaar or GWP they are awesome dogs. Hope to see more pics in soon. I have to wait until Sept til I can get out so I will have to just live vicariously through your blog until then.
Bravo!!! Is that a drahthaar? Is it your's or your hunting buddy's? Its one good looking canine.
ReplyDeleteWish I were in the southern hemisphere right now so I could be hunting...

Delete... hey bro, bit of research and I can see what I know as a GWP is what you know as a drathaar. I stand corrected! :)

DeleteSnuffit, great photos, can we take you will still do your usual full run down of opening in the swamp when you get chance?
ReplyDeleteYour opening accounts are a good historical record of how things went in the swamp year by year.
Ok I'll put up a post when time allows.
