Thread: Replacement GWP

We will be having our last litter of docked Drahthaars in a few weeks, very laid back lines until you flip the switch.
Are not breed for aggressive temp though.

I will pm you Kawhia...as much as our dog has been great I've always regretted not being patient and getting one of yours.

For the sake of the thread though...do your dogs guard...I don't mean hospitalise intruders (if my daughter was involved our probably would)...But its a hell of a nice having a dog that makes it presence known and generally ours has been smart enough about it...

Her fault is once the switch does flip...she's pretty challenging to stay connected to...and I have put that down to backyard breeding...I don't think its disobedience as such...more like a short circuit under pressure...mind you my kids are like that too

I would love to see one of your dogs in action as a comparison...will chat to the wife...

What switch ????
My GWP lives to hunt but is an awesome pet and the ultimate builders dog.
Really happy to see people around the truck if she can see me, but watch out if I'm not around ... even if she knows who you are !
At 9 years old most people who meet here for the first time think she's only young due to all that energy and the intense pre occupation with anything that looks remotely like it should be hunted.

I have had a number of dogs over the years but loosing this GWP would be the hardest, so I feel for you @Fisherman

Interesting the guarding thing...mine is the most intelligent guard dog around the home...but does give hoot about the car...
Perhaps its because yours spends so much time in the truck with you it sees it has a second home...

Ours reacts to difference...I once found her (as a pup) bailing a push bike that had fallen over...and a tent family had left beside the garage...
The first time the footrest of the lazyboy recliner came up she just about hit the roof...a real problem for her...
I always thought it was to do with the security element of their work in parks...I can imagine a Drahthaar bailing snare a poacher has set...
Kawhia might know if that's how they were used.
