The
Deutscher Wachtelhund is a 300 year old breed developed in the forests of
Germany as a versatile hunting dog. It ranges in weight from 44 – 64
pounds. It is a water
lover, and an excellent duck retriever. The name in German means Quail dog.
It is reputed to be the original spaniel. The
DW flushes game like a spaniel, and tracks like a hound making voice or
giving tongue on the trail. It is a courageous dog used to hunt wild boars in
Germany and bears in Canada. It retrieves both feathered and fur game. It is
renown for its tracking ability of game such as the wild boar, and following
wounded game blood trails. The Wachtelhund has a nose as good as a bloodhound
and proves it in advanced hunting tests by tracking 40 hour old blood trails. Although
there are no stories concerning the Wachtelhund turkey hunting in
Germany, the Wachtelhund is
building its own legends as a turkey dog here in the United States. I
personally know 2 hunters who bagged
20-24 turkeys in several states each year in last 2 years. A liver brown dog does not need
a camo bag to hide its white spots like
droppers from pointer- setter crosses. The German breeding practices are
highly defined and strictly enforced.
Since 1965 the DW registry (VDW) enforces a breed order that requires
both excellent health and proven hunting skills before the dogs may be bred. The DW tracks miles after its game. It will hunt head high in the air scent or nose close to ground. The DW is an independent thinker hunting alone. The DW makes the voice on the trail when it finds the game. When the flock is located you know where it is Wilde Vom Sching is OFA and CERF. Xanto Vom Sauerland is OFA and CERF. Wilde has her Started Hunter Retriever Title and Xanto has passed one test towards his title. EMAIL:
