Mom is much smoother coated, but we're hoping of a 'wooly' one.

Quite a few breeders of them in chukar country.



If your pup comes out anything like dad you'll have a great looking friend.

And I have to say thanks a bunch guys for making me have a harder time decision making when I retire in a few years. I'm hoping to be in the market then for an "all around" type dog, our whippets just don't hold birds very well grin. I've been considering a Drahthaar also, and just for the naysayers, hunting poodles. I've even thought about looking into a Clumber spaniel but think they'd not do so much all around work.

Thanks to the OP too , for starting this one off.
