Maltese Falcon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Otherwise known as "the ghost dog", lovely dog there mate" I didn't actually know these were gun dogs Yes they are a german breed originally bred to hunt wild boar but later also used to hunt birds and ground game. They work by scenting the ground like a spaniel in a way where the short haired pointer scents the air more. Weimaraners can also scent the air but mainly there nose is kept to the ground and tend to work an area with speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know you need loads of patience to train these lovely dogs but once they are trained they can make great gundogs. Mine is injured at the moment as last week while out rough shooting she went through a hedge and there was barbed wire and managed to get a nasty deep cut on her front leg which needed stitching up. Out of action for at least five weeks but she's on the mend bless her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
