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

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

Great nose and bird drive. Nice natural point.

Title: Re: German Wirehaired Pointer
Post by: good2go on December 01, 2012, 08:11:44 PM: 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.

Post by: 3dvapor on December 02, 2012, 11:59:43 AM: 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
Title: Re: German Wirehaired Pointer
Post by: RC3 on December 03, 2012, 09:44:17 AM: 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.

Title: Re: German Wirehaired Pointer
Post by: Phantom Gobbler on December 04, 2012, 06:40:43 PM: 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!
Title: Re: German Wirehaired Pointer
Post by: good2go on December 06, 2012, 07:17:40 PM: 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.

Post by: wildweeds on December 06, 2012, 07:23:07 PM: 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.

Post by: RC3 on December 09, 2012, 07:09:13 PM: 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.
