Heres mine, a GWP, with a couple of Sika Deer. They are very versatile, like most German breeds. I grew up around WPGs, similar dogs. They were tough as nails and fierce when necessary. They also handled delicate points and honors on snipe and quail. Great Photos, all!

From age 4 until age 21 I didn't know there were any other dogs. I love those fuzzy faces and stinky feet! Age 8 with Rip and Lady, and my dad... Two years later, same dogs and same dad, but wild chuckar this time.

My dad's Lab/Beagle "Pepsi" was an amazing farm dog--she would run beside the tractor all day without a break when younger, tree squirrels, catch and kill woodchucks, chase away coyotes, not chase deer, herd cows, and come when called. Probably the funnest dog I've ever been around. Just plain good-natured, and loved to catch frogs in a slough and throw them in the air for hours on end.
My Brittany "Buddi" is the best dog I've owned. Got her as a free young castoff from someone who never trained her. She has easily trained me into a pretty good bird hunter, and can outretrieve most Labs until it gets REALLY cold.

I've had a couple of Chessies. I've posted this before, but here he is again. He was good on waterfowl, upland game and furry critters. He would retrieve anything. AND he was great with the kids when they were little. He's been gone for nearly 3 decades and I still miss his presence - RIP Casey .

+1 pudelpointer. Beretta- Only hunting dog I have yet been owned by. Will hopefully outlive me. Retrieved a winged blue grouse at 16 weeks, At 36 weeks old- holds points on chukars and pheasant. Smart eough to do it all in spite of my amatuer 'instructions'.

German Shorthair Pointer, now twelve and retired to the good life. Phenomenal on pheasant, grouse water retrieved ducks and geese. Even tried to bring me a rather large tom turkey. I had her trained to blood trail deer even. Best dog ever according to me. Now she's getting old dog bumps and bad legs. A little OCD and whiney out of boredom I suppose as the only birds she sees on a regular basis are some cardinals and the pet cockateil.

We had Britts for forty years. Great bird dogs, great family dogs too. When we moved up here, decided to try something "different", so we got into Fieldbred English Cockers. Have a pair and they are dynamite grouse/wc dogs. Don't do too bad on a weeks trip out to the Dakotas every year either.

I understand the burr thing.... Your dog is quite versatile. Do you let him drive the boat too?
