I hunt only upland game birds; should I still be interested in a Deutsch-Drahthaar?
A – Absolutely. While one of the DD’s greatest assets is its ability to do such a diverse variety of hunting tasks so well, the hunting test prerequisites for “certification for breeding” work very effectively to insure that your pup will have the companion gun dog skills you’re looking for. For example, the traits of Nose, Field Search, Pointing, and Cooperation are rated in both the spring puppy test (VJP) and in the fall breed test (HZP).
