P.S. Tell us about your dog!
Chas is a Deutsch Drahthaar (DD) out of German stock.
http://www.vdd-gna.org/
They are like many of the German versatile breeds “they do it all” but the DD tends to be just a little more serious about his work than most. As a breed there are few, if any that are still breed to the strict standards set out by the founders. The DD is not a recognized breed in North America and should not be mistaken for the German wirehaired pointer.
He points, is an excellent water retriever, tongues on rabbits, while running deer they tongue (not sure if Chas does this he has not been or will he ever be trained or allowed to run deer). He does on the other hand bay on a dead deer find. He has a real fondness for fur, which helps us remove a lot of predators from our local marshes in the off-season. He is very good at blood tracking, at six months he tracked a wounded buck for a archer in my community that other wise would have been lost!
Mixed bag!
