The PP is stricter in breeding stipulations and by far there are just not that many breeders. I judge for an organization and see all the breeds you have mentioned.

As far as coats - the PP's I have seen are not as servicable as a DD or WPG. The WPGs tend to have a longer coat, are smaller in body than a PP or DD. All can and do hunt hard and there are very good breeders for all - but not many breeders for PP.

To further this and to get help looking for breeders when you are ready contact www.navhda.org.
They have kennel listings for all those breeds.

Oh and I know Steve and I know just about all the other GWP breeders listed above. If you need help - PM me.

I run GWPs.....jsut my breed of choice.
