German Wirehaired Pointer

[JDBar]

Looking for Washington GWP breeders, anyone got any suggestions?

[Huntbear]

Check with Sage Brush Gundogs in Ellensburg... or Cooke Canyon Hunt Club...  also in Eburg.  They both have websites and facebook pages.

They did not seem to have very many wirehair pointers on the website

[hunter12]

call Doug at Cookes... he can put you on a GWP if he doesnt have any.

beware of some of the breeders... Show breed ... find a good hunting breeder like Doug. you cant go wrong..

I have 3 two from two show type breeders that say field tested ... my last one is from hunting stock... She is the best dog i have ever had.

good luck

Hunter12 can you post pics of your hunting bred dog. Not trying to hijack this thread but I am also interested in getting a gwp

This pup is from Doug at CC. Great attitude. Loving and relaxed in the house.
Great nose and bird drive. Nice natural point.

Got my first brittany from Jim. Born natural, never spent a minute training her.

I would suggest looking at NAVHDA breeding rather than field trial stock. Then again I don't know how big you want a dog to run either. There is a guy in Hoodsport Barry Wilde, I think thats right, he was pretty easy to talk to. He has been in the Wirehair game for a long time. It has been a long time since I talked to him.

You might consider lee root. Hes a member and breeds drahthaars which follows german stringent testing.  Hes located in omak wa.  Vom okanogan-flusstal drahthaars.  Great hunting dogs

[RC3]

I train and hunt with Barry and he is a shorthair guy not wirehairs, he'd tell you to talk to Jeff Funke if you want a wirehair.  Three Devils kennel that would be my suggestion as well.

If you want a real dog you want a shorthair  im might even know a guy

I have a shorthair and he is a great dog but can not handle cold weather for duck and goose hunting

have you been spying on my dog  . I have no choice but have him be a inside dog due to not having a yard or garage.

Dogs hunt better when you spoil them and they are alot pissy when they get to crawl back in bed with mama when its not there turn to go my dogs think there in trouble when they have to sleep in the kennel

There's a fine line in loving your dogs and "loving" your dogs!

Did not know we had anyone from Enumclaw here.......   

[JDBar]

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions, I will definitely take them all into consideration before I make a choice. Don't want the dog to go to waste!

I think Graham is the new enumclaw! 

[duck1187]

The scaryest part is YOU like to cuddle with my dog

[JBar]

  

Sorry for the thread jack we now return to JDBar's originally scheduled post! 

[Phantom Gobbler]

Our GSP is 10 years old,  so I would also consider a GWP.  My hunting partner has one from North Dakota and she's a bird hunting machine and tends to range well for the foot hunter.  Our GSP likes to get out there and you have to stay in control! 

[good2go]

RC3 I never personally met Barry but was told by a friend that he was a wirehair guy.
My dog got killed.
My buddy says call this Barry guy he has Wirehairs. I should say my buddy has only ever had labs, which completely explains why I had an hour long conversation with a guy Barry turned me on to about dogs. The guy had a short hair litter. I thought we were talking Wirehairs and he thought we were talking Shorthairs.
We both hung up confused.

So, RC3, 6 years later on this little thread you have explained why I had a useless one hour conversation with a shorthair guy in Or.
Thanks man.

[wildweeds]

I know Barry too,he has always had shorthairs,I ain't seen him in years but he had a shorthair named Ernie and Rose,He had a setter a couple of years ago that he got from his buddy Joe.

Yeah Barry still has Rose, its funny you should mention the setter.  Pretty sure thats the last setter he'll own:)  He has a website just google Wilds mountain kennel and you should find it.
