Vono,
If we look at the posts, I was the only one to address the original question fully. I will tell anyone who will listen a German bred and tested dog is a better dog. There are stronger controls on the breeding/registration on the dogs. This is from my first post. I also stated the WPG has improved immensely over the last decade. This was the question, is the WPG a good breed to consider? I stated yes, if from NAVHDA tested parents. It has improved enough to be considered a good choice for NAVDA dog. This is because of NAVHDA testing and the dedicated breeders. DD's are a very sharp dog and take a bit to train. A DD wants a strong master (not like a DJT but a strong one). This is not true of the WPG. The breed is more eager to accept the master as such. Neither is bad just different and needs to be considered if one is going to train their own dog.
I realize people can have the same experience and see things differently. I never need to tell anyone to get off their fat ass and live if they disagree with me. I just realize it's hard for some to deal with disagreements. Mustad should consider a Lab or Ches if he is going to hunt waterfowl in rough conditions. These are the dogs which are bred for this purpose. They do it better. Why is your suggestion for a DD superior to mine for a pointing Lab? Both would take a while to come by (6 months to a year). Both would be an investment in time and money, both would do better at their original purposes (uplands for the DD and water for the Lab) and be a compromise in the other. I realized Mustad stopped listening after you disagreedin such a childish way to my first post. It's hard when you are right and someone has the gall to disagree with someonewho is the acme of intelligence such as yourself. You took the time from your busy schedule to answer the post and I disagreed and suggested something different than yourself. I am so sorry. I should have known you are it. To suggest aLab could do a betterjob in the marsh is so asanine as to be considered a test ofor retardation. I promise to agree with you from now on because I sit on my fatass and don't do anything.
