Sounds like the best dog for somebody relatively new to huntingdogs:frown:
Did your pups parents do the Breedtests?
Re: BC Breeders - GWP, DD, Pudelpointer... other versatiles?
Do not want to hijack this thread, but there is a NAVHDA chapter which is up and running in Alberta. I might be checking them out this Spring, as they are starting training sessions and workshops in Februray. Good way for owners of versatile breeds to get some training in Canada, along with making some local contacts. Much easier for me to drive to Alberta than the U.S., and also do not have to worry about passport etc, along with paperwork for the dogs.

Agreed ....
Re: BC Breeders - GWP, DD, Pudelpointer... other versatiles?
Thought I would post a quick update... have a deposit on a male DD pup out of a very good breeder in Ontario. Pups are about a week old now. If all goes well we should have him here mid April. Big thanks to you, Rainier for your time and advice. The kids and I are really excited looking forward to his arrival.

Do you have to fly back there to pick him up or are they going to ship him to you? If it's a mid April delivery it kind of sounds like you're having to wait for the pup to be old enough (12 weeks) to ship. I'm getting an 8 week old WPG in 4 weeks but I have to go pick him up myself in Montreal. There goes the rest of my aeromiles! LOL
Re: BC Breeders - GWP, DD, Pudelpointer... other versatiles?
Yes, pup needs to spend some time with mom and sibs before being shipped via aircraft. There is a second pup going to Seattle so will split the shipping cost to YVR.
I have been watching many gun dog training instruction videos... If there are certain ones you recommend, please suggest... I will take you up on a few phone calls Rainer, thx for the offer.

Advising someone to have a Jagdterrier ,who is new to hunting, is like giving your kids a Formula 1 car, for their first vehicle.
