Finished our first VJP test yesterday. Bane put up a 74 which had him tied for first when we left. Regardless it was a strong showing. He's a big ground covering dog and held his point solid until I walked 75 yards over to him and leashed him up and led him away.
Anyone who is going to buy one of these drahthaars needs to set aside the time required to train them and test them. It's been a big benefit to Bane and myself and he's turning into a very reliable gun dog. What they can accomplish before their first year is amazing to me. Bane's now 18 months and 85 pounds.
Edited to add, he ended up in 2nd out of 15 dogs running. Really happy with his effort and where he is at for his young age.
