My addiction

I'm Shorty & I'm addicted to hunting.....
I've been nosing around on here for a while & finally signed up last week. Some good info posted on here & hope to contribute where I can. Southland born & bred I have been hunting & fishing since my teens, (there well past now before someone asks:P) I spend a bit of time reloading to support my habit & am keen to use the buy & sell to help with that. Owned a few dogs over the years some better than others but always of the pointer variety. Current pup project for deer is a 6 mth old wire haired viszla that I'm putting through the deer dog training program.
Cheers guys

Hi Shorty, welcome.

Welcome Shorty

Welcome to the forum. We have several vertically challenged members here. @Gibo @Dundee @Pengy all knew Snow White personally. Ha ha ha ha

I would be interested in a 'run down' on the Wire Haired Viszla so far - is it as bouncy and silly as a smooth coat or more steady etc ?? Oh and welcome, by the way

Ditto on the pup, and welcome

Dont suppose you uncle has a red hilux?

Welcome

You are correct :)

Hi Moa hunter & Gapped axe, , some friends of mine have smooth coats & they are a little crazy- I'm' not sure if that's due to nature or nurture. (no offence intended to smooth coat owners) I've got a 5yr old lab/viszla cross (think 40 kgs of viszla in a lab body & a killer tail)who has thrown a little bit to crazy & just didn't work out for me deerstalking so now he's the wife's dog. So was keen on avoiding that again.
I really like the Velcro qualities of viszla's they are just such a loyal dog.
I went with the WHV, cos all the research I did suggested they were a lot calmer & this has definitely proved to be the case, he's just so chilled, so far he's been easy to train picking things up quickly. Super quiet on his feet. The thicker coat was another draw card, he's happy outside by himself or by the fire, he's been in the river down here & its bloody cold at the moment & he just follows me in - not overly worried. This all bodes well for the future & I can't wait to get him out hunting towards the end of the year or early next year. I would definitely recommend the breed but they aren't very common & it took me a while to track down who I believe is the only active breeder in NZ. The gene pool is small so you pay for the privledge of ownership. I'll post some pictures of him in due course.

Jeez you guys are nasty. Leave the short guys /girls? alone. I'm sure there happy with the hand life dealt them..... Surely????

It may be too late already but the log ins a contradiction.:)

Too late now mate. You have joined so will just have to suck the kumara like us other short arses ;)

For the record. I am taller than Dundee, but shorter than Gibo, but better looking than the pair of them

If it helps, Rushy is very correct, I make a rake look fat, a sardine look fat, I have to run around in a shower to get wet and thats my gym for the morning, and I'm 6ft tall.
(he may also make a bowling ball look like a bowling ball...)


Rushy is also a true salt of the earth good guy. One of few.

Immortality is such a cross to carry. Still that is what you get from drinking the elixir of life from the fountain of eternal youth. Oh the powers of Waikato Draught.

Thank you for the info. I had been thinking that a cross of a Viszla with a GWHP would be the almost ultimate dog, solving the problems of each breed. Then I discovered that someone had beaten me to the idea by decades and bred the Wire haired Viszla. So it is really interesting to read some first hand experience. The ultimate dog would be one that as well as all the good points listed finds and stays with a downed animal barking until the hunter gets there

I was being truthful with you, and the hoki guy is a oval shape.... And the long side is horizontal......

And for a nearly coaster, he's not that bad. I think it's more the fact that your a jaffa, that creates the comms issue.
