[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 60272, member: 11"] [b]Re: I\'m thinking about getting a dog.[/b] OK Big E lets see if you know the answer. I have yet to find anyone that can give me a straight answer to the difference between a GWP and a Drahthaar. Since Draht means wire and Haar means hair why do some people insist that a drahthaar is a different BREED than the GWP. If all it amounts to is credentials or some document then I wont worry about spending the money. I'm not buying a show dog. I'm buying a bird dog. Also what type of health concerns do the GWPs have normally. Have you found them to be destructive chewers or do they dig in the flowerbed? I could really use some info on the typical "at home" behavior of these dogs. All I can find is "These dogs are full of energy and must be excercised daily or they will become bored." I want to know MORE including the bad stuff. How much do they shed compared to a lab. I ask this because I know how much labs shed (a ton) and I dont mind a little shedding but this will be a family dog and we dont want to have to vacuum the house every day. How much do those energetic dogs eat. Tell me what you know. Good and bad. [/QUOTE]
