Meet Erik!

[ArklePig]

Love the little white bit on his foot
He is also extremely adept at 'puppy dog eyes'. I'd give that wee face anything

First ringcraft class tonight, I’m expecting carnage

 

[Bellasophia]

He is a beautiful dog.What a face!
I’m familiar ( in Italy)with the German wire haired pointers,but never seen l.h pointers yet.. the wires are very tough dogs.Your boy looks so sweet does the breed favour the softer “setter” temperament?( yes I know he’s a pointer).

He looks gorgeous! Sounds like a good plan to expect carnage, because if carnage does happen, you're mentally prepared for it, and can still leave the training thinking it didn't go worse than expected. If he isn't involved in any carnage, that's even better.

You are absolutely right! Setter was bred in when the breed was developed, and then again later on to lighten their bone and speed them up. They are much softer, more sensitive than the wirehaired pointers, and less hard headed

He’s very sweet- but very cheeky too

That’s my hope!! He’s a sweet (if cheeky ) boy and hasn’t shown too much defiance just yet so hopefully we can start off on the right foot and don’t show ourselves up too much

But if we do- at least I have his age as an excuse excuse

 

[Moobli]

He is absolutely stunning

 

[EllieBeast]

Just a little Erik Update
He’s a whole 4 months old now, he still thinks he needs to make ringcraft classes more blingy but is a very chilled boy waiting his turn.

We’ve been very lucky to have had a couple of weekends up on the North Yorkshire moors with our HPR training club. Erik has learned to sit in the car and be bored whilst the big kids have all the fun. He’s also learned the very important social skills required to share an air bnb with 4 other dogs and people.

He got to have a bit of a run (and recall proofing session!) after the training day was done- my dog only runs on grouse moors don’t-cha know







Ivy has decided he’s ok too- she had no choice as they had to be crate buddies for the 4hr journey each way





Incase anyone was wondering- I absolutely adore the cheeky little monster

 

[Clodagh]

Is he likely to be much more bigger than her?

 

[EllieBeast]

Is he likely to be much more bigger than her?

I should think he’ll end up a fair bit bigger than her. She’s the smallest from her litter and her father is smaller than Eriks (same mum). The dogs do tend to be a bit bigger than the bitches anyway.

He’s currently 14kg and she’s never more than 20kg.

 

[EllieBeast]

4 months old and catching up fast!

 

[Clodagh]

I met our local GLP breeder the other day, she was walking one. Stunning dogs.

Did it? I didn’t know that. I train with Mr GLP. Yes far more white than yours. Lovely dogs but masters of the 1000 yard stare

He’s also very patient, and so nice with the dogs.

I missed the latest photos EllieBeast and Erik is absolutely gorgeous. Love his curly little squared off ears ! He looks big !
Interesting the weight difference between your beautiful Ivy and my female Weim. I thought they would be similar but Molly is 26kg . Very tall, long and lean with a lot of muscle. I'm actually convinced she's not pure from the dads side.....but let's not go there, she's amazing, I adore her and I don't want puppies!

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

Oh, he’s gorgeous! They both are!

Ivy is quite small for a GLP, the bitches are generally more like your bitches weight. It all depends on breeding lines- both Ivy’s parents are fairly lightly built and very athletic. Erik has the same mum but his dad has more substance. The dogs are generally a fair bit bigger anyway.

Have you got any photos of your girl? I just love the HPRs so you work her?

 

[EllieBeast]

Oh, he’s gorgeous! They both are!

Thankyou they get on really well too. Both cheeky in their own way but such lovely kind dogs

 

[TheOldTrout]

What a beautiful dog!

No working for Molly Moo. The lights are on , but i'm not sure what's at home
I used to go out with the hunt sometimes when I had the bleu de gascogne and my first male Weim, but really I just love their mad company and walking them in the forests . My boy Odes is currently getting his head around learning to go away left and right on command like a collie. Smart cookie got it really quickly too
I've only got puppy pics on my laptop ,so i'll try and take some new ones. I think you'll probably agree that there's some mysterious ' other ' breed there. Her ears are too long and she has brown ghost markings on her face and eyebrows. Judging by her build, character and markings , i'm thinking one of the bloodhounds here . Oh well

 

[EllieBeast]

The boy is now 5 months old!
He’s looking less puppy like now, still sweet and eager to learn, but with a little independent streak that will be keeping me on my toes I’m sure

Love him!

2 months-


5 months-

 

[Shady]

Gorgeous boy
I love it when their little domed heads begin to widen and you can see the dog they will become. xx
