Out of interest none of my wires and ive had 6 have ever had there dew claws done but they are all docked.

What part of the country are you in There was a working bred litter in Devon but not sure if there are any left I can enquire for you or pass on details if you would like.

The GWP Club runs a pyppy list they have a web site you can look on for details, the only thing I would say is go for a pup from proven working lines.

There is a 10 month dog in resuce but he has a tail.

It would be worthwhile having a chat with benb on here as he also has lurchers, terriers and a wirehair.

Morning!

Nice to have another speed merchant on board!

I don't have my own BOPs - not enough time unfortunately.
A good point of contact might well be Emma Gooden at the English School of Falconry - http://www.shuttleworth.org/birdofprey_home.asp
She runs wires and is not just into the falconry.

"Im just learning about the GWP at the moment so im not sure how fast or slow they work and your input aswell as other's is much appreciated.."

Try and get out to one of the GSPCA grouse pointing days this summer - there are some in your neck of the woods - there are bound to be some wires running and you can see their pace and range.

in terms of pups - i would recommend you do some research as some of the sharper lines may prove tricky to get calm enough to go hawking with.

hope that helps?

Thank's for that BenB any info is very helpfull.. Wink

Countrygirl..i personaly wont take a pup on older than 12wk's as they dont seem to bond with you as much when they are older..i have took older dog's on in the past but they have had to go for that reason..
