If you like the game drive of GWP / DD dogs but would like something a little more even tempered, you could try a Pudelpointer. They are one of the breeds used to develop the Deutsch Drahthaar They have an excellent work ethic without the (sometimes) hard head and mouth. They are good family members and work very very hard. I use mine in Saskatchewan, big country with climate and conditions you would find in Kansas as and Alaska. In NAVHDA and VHDF tests that our Saskatoon Gun dog club hosts, PP's have scored consistently well over the years.
