German Shorthair

[SimplyOrange]

I have a German Shorthair and she will be coming into season in December. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in pups. Also, the stud that was suppose to service her might not be available, and I am wondering if anyone would also be interested in a swap for breeding fee for pick of the litter?

[Donnyboy]

Maybe a pup....

Tell us more.

Do you have a pedigree/lineage tree?

[SimplyOrange]

She is a Great Grand Daughter of NFC FC Rawhides Clown on the Dam's side. Her sire is Barron Carpenter and Dam is Sweet Nellie Carpenter. I am located in the panhandle of Oklahoma. She is liver roan. Patched and ticked. I will post pictures tomorrow.

[SimplyOrange]

I can fax you a copy of her lineage.

I pm'd you a fax #, I will be meeting a group of friends in Liberal for the Kansas pheasant opener on the 13th, one of them lives in Dallas and field trials shorthairs. His male Levi is a FC. He prefers white/liver white/black but if he likes your dogs background might be interested in studding Levi for a pup. If you want to fax me the pedigree I'll be happy to show it to him.

My Brother-In-Law's German Shorthair just had pups a two weeks ago. If you want, I can get you the male's info.

Without a doubt, our next dog will be a GS. I love my lab and Blue Heeler, but their personality + being a pointing dog would be great. I am in nooooo hurry though.

Best dogs I've EVER had. Can't wait to get back into a house so I can get one!

[OSU Sig]

am on my 4th one. I may have an interest in a pup or two when you get further along. If you can post the bitch's pedigree, it would help.

For the life of me, I don't know why anyone would hunt anything other than a Shorthair.

My dad says the same about a Pointer. I will agree until i'm proven wrong. I know they have different hunting styles.

English pointers are not as versatile as the krauts, but for pure bird finding ability, they are second to none. IMO

[Erick]

I never hunted with anything but Pointers and one Brittney. One thing I heard was that Pointers don't hunt so close like a lot of dogs.

Man I need to get in the field!

I hunted pointers all my life, until I got a pair of Shorthairs, then I spent a lot more time hunting birds than I did hunting dogs.

Haha, I hear that!

GSP's as a breed are known to work closer than English Pointers, greatly benefiting the foot hunter. There are exceptions but if you can find a dog with German Blood they will typically hunt closer and become great companions, house dogs and wonderful partners.

My first GSP was from Germany and I will be the rest of my life trying to find another dog as good as he was. :(

They say you only get one of those in a lifetime.:D

That's what a great uncle always told me. "Son, you get one good dog, and one good woman per lifetime. The trick is, you gotta be smart enough to recognize them for what they are, and not screw it up".

Looks like I've already had mine, and got lucky on the dogs and stumbled upon a guy that didn't know what he had, so I got his, which made two for me. Come to think of it, that's how I got the woman, only she's the only good one I've ever had.

Truer words were never spoken, I imagine your great uncle is/was a very happy man.:cheers:

He was just a cool old wheat farmer, that I never saw in anything except a pair of lace up work boots and those striped bib overalls, and a John Deere cap. Including when we buried him. And he could shuck 7 shells outa that old model 12 before the rest of us could shoot five out of one of those fancy Belgium A-5's.

Over a point he was deadly. Back when there were lots of birds and we found them someplace other than a cedar filled river bottom, he could kill 6 on a covey rise with amazing regularity, while the rest of us were lucky to kill 2 or 3. He also knew where every covey in about 3 counties were, and where they were at what time of day. In the early morning they were here, then at mid morning they moved somewhere else, and after we all had a big lunch at the old home place cooked by my Aunt, they were someplace different, then in the early afternoon they would be way over there, and we didn't shoot them after about 5, cause that wasn't neighborly to be flushing them off the ground they were gonna roost on.

And man did we kill a lot of birds. We very rarely chased singles. We just moved from covey to covey. If you were gonna kill any birds around this bunch, you had to be pretty quick on the trigger.

The crisp fall days of my lost youth. It was a great time to be a kid, and I grew up around a great family of bird hunters. It was just what we did.

[jakeman]

Oh, and yeah, all those guys made fun of my short tailed dogs. ;)

[OrangeAggie]

I'm not much of a bird hunter, but I have plenty of family that are. When I was a kid we got 4 German Shorthair brothers from a litter and they turned out to be the best dogs anyone could ask for. I'm not even talking about hunting either, though they could certainly do that. One went to my Grandpa, one went to me, and the other two went to my aunt and uncle. They were some of the most loyal, loveable dogs that I've ever encountered.

Kinda gets me feeling all nostalgic and fuzzy inside just thinking about 'em. :)

Some of the younger generation of hunters laugh at me, or just straight out call BS, when I tell them bobwhite hunting stories of my youth, in Craig county, in the mid 70's to early 80's. It was quailapolluzza.:D

The only female GSH I know is Nancy and she isn't a pointer but she is a liar. :D

Being European, she probably doesn't have any "shorthairs" either.:x
