Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire adding poodle ruins the dog breed!!!

That’s a badass dog!! 👊🏻

I’ve got what they call the Drahthaar addiction now. Hank is my first one and not once have I thought “wish I had my lab”.

Couple more. If it runs, flies or crawls he’ll hunt it.

That is a good looking dog for sure. I had a Brittany that was the same way. Purist would tell me that brittanys aren’t supposed to do this or that,... oh well, apparently neither one of us had gotten the memo!

We can agree to disagree on the worth of labradoodles

Fuuck ya, killer dog!! I was on roger greens list, my chocolate lab died unexpectedly, so we picked my yellow up. Gonna wait a couple years for the drathaar now. Super cool dogs, neat history. Think they’ll hunt about anything 👊🏻

Jud, for sure they’ll hunt anything.I know guys that run them with and without hounds on lions, hogs and bears. And they’ll blood track your gut shot elk and deer too. We just finished testing and certification for breeding last year with Hank. Looking in the near future for a female to take through the process too. Then maybe a litter here and there. If I was going to be in it to make money though, the foo foo dogs are where it’s at.

It’s just what we like man! I never let someone tell me what my taste in women should be, trucks I like, huntin gear etc. I grew up with hounds and labs, I love a labs looks, personality, disposition etc, I’ll never not have one in my life. 👍

Hell ya, nice work. Kurt on here, “aka 30 338” has a couple he hunts quite a bit. Damn fine dogs

No doodle in the labra.

Yeah, Kurt’s younger dog is a brother to mine. We ran the VJP test together in Colorado. In fact all the dogs in our group for that test were out of this same litter. One other male besides ours and two females that the breeder was running. It was quite the event.

What kennel you purchase from if ya don’t mind me asking?

Mark Heuer. Vom Heuerhaus in Cheyenne WY. I had a similar experience with my dogs. Lost my choco lab in Oct of 19’ at age 8 (twisted gut) then lost my GSP a month later. He was almost 15. First time in 35 years I went through a hunting season without a gun dog. But the silver lining was being able to talk the wife into one. She and my daughters always thought they were ugly but Hank won them over.

Ya he’s a sexy sumbitch! 👊🏻

Great pics too

Some dog sled racers up here like to breed Whippet into their racing dogs for speed and size. About 45 lbs is the goal. Honey's weight. Her body proportions seem to indicate Whippet strain as well.

Dunno about jack rabbits, but the Honey Bucket is death on half-grown snowshoes, even , on occasion, a full-grown. She's damned quick! The Wunder Wiener ferrets them out, and Honey gets them.

Dynamic Duo....

Dog for that times, figure it out

That's prolly one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen

🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍 all purpose hunter killer!!!

I see goldendoodles in the park where I walk my dogs regularly. Ain’t met a one yet I was impressed with.

Typical owner had the dog fixed/spayed too young, also nobody uses collars and leashes anymore, collars must be considered cruel, everyone uses harnesses, a setup which rewards the dog for pulling.

More’n anything tho, as already pointed out here, the people breeding these things ain’t too concerned about functional bloodlines.

my problem with the strictly working dogs like the pointers, drawthars, etc. they make terrible family dogs. They are too ubber high strung on hunting only. If the dog doesn't make a good family dog I don't want them. but I do hunt them a few times a year so I need a hunting dog as well. having a lab is the perfect mix of that. doesn't hurt that my 9 year old lab is also a pointing lab, he holds on birds till you get a shot. a rare trait in a lab.
