Drahthaars are great dogs. I've hunted alongside them and my FIL had one until she was an a very old lady. But, this is the reason I didn't get one.....the ear tattoos and "I wish I were a German" testing.
I ended up with a Griffon, very similar in a lot of ways to the Drahthaar. Although, I think the Drahthaars a more strong-headed than the Griff. Both breeds have a bit of compulsiveness in them
Siggy...how does your Drahthaar do with skunks, porcupines and racoons? My Griff is hell on them, I assume your dog is too?
