Question 6

What's the difference between German Shorthaired Pointers (GSP) and Deutsch Drahthaars?

Accepted Answer

German Wirehaired Pointers (GWPs) and Drahthaars are both versatile hunting breeds.  Deutsch Drahthaar are different in the way the registry handles the breed.  For a Deutsch Drahthaar to be breed certified they must pass multiple hunting tests, a breed show and have completed multiple health screenings.

At Autumn's Harvest Kennel we train any kind of dog, but our focus is hunting breeds. Our focus is training through positive reinforcement.  Our training emphasizes clear leadership.  We provide challenging, goal-oriented tasks to maintain their focus and prevent boredom. Our goal is to bring out the best in each dog,  enhancing their abilities and creating  reliable companions and hunting partners.
