Huntermag,
There are very few DD's in the area I live in now, but I have dealt with quite a few in the past. It has been 7 years (I became a Doctor) since I have done anywork with anyone who has a DD. I am speaking in generalities. I still would think a WPG would be a calmer dog than a DD. I could be wrong since I have had nothing to do with the breed for some time. I have dealt with the JGV-USA to test a DJT but he had health issues and couldn't test (the JGV is the USA chapter of the JGHV). I am familiar with the testing and hold to it. If it seemed I was giving NAVHDA too much credit for the salvation of the WPG I am sorry. I will state the NAVHDA testing and the BREEDERS saved the breed. The breeders needed a place to test the stock and NAVHDA supplied them this venue. It was thecontientious breeders who saved the WPG. This is what I am saying. I am also saying all breeds need testing to demonstrate which dogs should be used as breeding stock.
