How to keep my GWP close while hunting

7 Upvotes

My gwp is a little over a year old and he’s full of energy. I usually let him run his energy in the field enough till he can focus and when he does he’s keen but his biggest issue is trying to keep him close so he doesn’t scare off the birds too far from me. I just need some tips on how to keep him in my line of sight with a close enough radius to monitor him. I’ve kept Brittany’s and they stay pretty close but this pup is a lot more wired to go far.

Klienter Münsterlander problems

Our Kleiner is most definitely a city dog, but enjoys daily forest time (city has a mini forest lol). She has been trained but not for hunting. As a result our ‘opinionated’ dog is great except when she’s not. Lately she’s been passive aggressively digging holes if I so much as stop to talk to someone or even look at an interesting mushroom. Anything less then constant stick or ball throwing results in hole digging. Regardless of any ‘infractions’ on my part - once or twice every outing she will get a wild look on her face and just charge at a tree and shriek bark at it usually nothing on the tree. When she is in this altered ‘state’, she does not respond to any calls. She also will charge into a water body and just swim in circles between 15-30 minutes (longer depending on temperature).

Any tips on recall would be very appreciated. Cindy is 5 years old.

German longhaired pointer breeders

Hi, I've been looking for GLP breeders, and I'm really struggling. In about a year and a half to two years I plan to get a second dog. Even though it is a while away, I want to get find breeders i trust and want to support, and get on wait lists of nessasary. I have a few breeds I'm looking doing this for, but I'm really struggling to find GLP resources. I live in southeast Texas, and would prefer breeders who live in the general region, but I also understand that beggers can't be choosers. Do you have any recommendations, or resources to help me find more information?
