Pup WTD

Our old girl finally went to the big farm in the sky recently.
Since then, the neighbourhood cats have been discovering just how good our property is. :pissed off:
1 even tried to come inside the house the other night through the catflap. The Mrs cats heard it and all hell broke loose!! Sounded like a herd of stampeding elephants trying to exit the same door all at the same time while strangling an American Idol contestant.

Mrs wasn't wanting another woofer for a while, but my powers of persuasion have worked and she has agreed we NEED another. :cool:

I've had English Pointers and a GSP-X before.
Last 4 legged excuse for a dog (Whatthefcukdoyoucallthat breed) was a pound rescue the Mrs fell in love with, so she is having little or no say in what I get now.
Whatever we get, it has to be good for all sorts of hunting, as well as mobile toilet brush control.

I'm leaning towards a Lab, preferably a chocolate bitch, but a springer, vizsla or a GSP could be on the cards (Although I'd have to get a Tikka in 7mm08 with a Vizsla or a GSP eh? LOL).

Does anyone know of any pups available, or that will be in the near future?

Blaser has a new batch of Labs. Some Golden and Blacks. Only thing is they are in the North Island;)

Probably best, if any were available, if they are in the SI just to make it easier.

Cheers guys.

About the only place in NZ you can get a chocolate that works really well is from Graeme Palmer in CHCH. His website

Normally I advise against chocolates, not usually great workers, but Graeme's do....

Can ask around for a gsp pup I'm sure there will be some . What type of hunting do you do ? .

All sorts lol.
Mainly deer and varmints at the moment, but I am getting into birds again.
Did quite a bit of pheasant shooting in the HB when I lived there, and really miss that here.

Sounds like a versitle dog would do the job (gsp , gwp ,vizsla). Not saying a lab wont , if you where chasing a lot of ducks then the labs go to the top of the pick in my eyes. Went for a walk with horriehunter and his vis was very impressed with that dog . Have inquired with gsp club for you, based in canterbury but covers S.I. well worth a look at a gsp ,will get back in a day or two.

Forget a springer for deer.. too noisy as a rule... (Not vocally... always shuffling, tail wagging in the leaves etc...) There's a few pheasants down the Rakaia...

Cheers guys ;)

On trademe there is a litter of Vizslas. The sire is Vizibility Copperfield who is the sire of my dog and he (the sire) is a full time hunting dog.

Cheers HF1, put it on my watchlist ;)

Cheers for your help guys. ;)

We've been put onto a Lab/GWP-X that we're going to get.

Will be a few weeks before we get her, but will put up some pics when we pick her up.

Next big thing is naming it.

Welcome to ideas guys :cool:
