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.

Fair comment on the dew claw's ive had running dog's for a lot of year's and they have a habit of breaking them through turning at high speed's when in pursuit of game..the only dog i had with dew claw's ended up breaking them both when running a hare when it was legal..so it just stick's in my mind about the dew claw's.
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..
I'm in the north east of england and i will travel anywhere in the country for the right dog but i may have something sorted out.
Thank's

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.

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? _________________ Spitting Feathers
Thank's for that BenB any info is very helpfull.. ..
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..
Cheer's
