I have the Deutsch Wachtelhund...........another German breed that I am extremely pleased with. The germans have very little regard for our way of training. They are more about breeding for natural talent as opposed to trainability. The Wachtel is not a "pointer" as I had no need for that.
The main reason I went with the Wachtelhund is size.........they are shorter at the shoulder and heavy in the chest........making them really good for the pirouge.
There are several Drahthaar guys in the Lafayette area.
And I am sure you know the Drahthaar guys are not the same as the wirehaired guys..........controlled by different visions for the dogs.
They are extremely bold, at the least the ones I have been around.
Crazy hunters.........need plenty exercise..........they really are fascinating dogs......
