Thanks all!
@ycbm shes a German wirehaired pointer - I always wanted a black and white one and she’s just perfect
Have followed the breeder online for years and always admired her dogs. This litter were supposedly all spoken for until it turned out bigger than expected! So we were able to get in there
We're so unbelievably excited. Now impatiently waiting for the day to arrive.
We have found a local gundog trainer who we will be hoping to go to with her. Plan is to train to eventually work her (something myself and fiance have always wanted to get into anyway). She won't be having to earn her keep this way, it will be just as a hobby for us all - so essentially a "pet gundog" if that is even a thing (?) . As well as this she will just be a much loved family dog to join us on hikes, hacks down at the yard and mountain bike rides.
I follow a few gundog accounts on instagram that take part in gundog trials. We may never get there (and they all seem to be labs.. ) but would love to try and work towards this too
Thats great to know! Lovely to find some fellow HPR people too - I may be dropping into your DMs for advice in the near future . We are near Worcester so also very close to Herefordshire etc (yard is on the border).Fabulous! Ours are pet gundogs too where abouts are you based? There are some fabulous HPR gundog clubs and trainers about.
You need a bit more of a sense of humour to train HPRs than retrievers they’re so rewarding though!
