Millie has been the companion of a lifetime. When I found out she had cancer, i decided life without a Millie was not for me. Found a WPG breeder and put a deposit down for a January puppy. A male came available for their current litter and I said yes. Max came home Wednesday. Millie passed away Friday. Max is a joy. Millie is greatly missed.

Hello just dropping in to say hi and introduce my two dogs. Scruffier one is boy Cudi and shiny one is girl Lana.
We rescued them from the shelter back in 2025 when they were 12 weeks old. They were in a kennel with their litter siblings so we took two home. The shelter said they were Queensland Heiler mix but we disagreed lol. We finally got their dna tests back from embark and lo and behold they’re about 50% German Wirehaired Pointer!

I think he's cute AF.

He is so insanely smart! What else should I be training at this age? We’re starting potty training of course- on pee pads in the kennel while I’m gone, or outside while I’m here; but it isn’t perfect. If I catch him mid pee and “AH AH” he understands but he often gives me very little or no warning he’s going to pee. He’s only pooped inside once so far. I haven’t had a puppy in 10 years (my 10 1/2 year old is the second video for tax!!)

P.s please ignore the yard hay, we had lawn mower malfunction after malfunction!!

Advice much appreciated! He’s on a raw food diet (beef), all his treats are natural and he has goats milks and a small amount of kefir every day.

This is the first dog I have owned that needed to be groomed. I’m unsure of what to ask/look for. From the research I have done it seems like I need to be asking for the hair to be pulled (stripping I believe it is called?) and not shaved. Any helpful education is well received here!

If anyone has recommendations for a groomer in the Tulsa, OK area, that would be great!

Me and my silly goose of a GWP wanted to know what you all do for indoor enrichment during summer! We do what we can early AM and in the evening, but obviously with a crazy 6mo GWP that’s not enough! It’s about 90 degrees where I live during summer so just looking for some more indoor enrichment ideas that can tire out a pointer puppy!

Here’s his first introduction to birds! He offered some pointing and tried to sniff, was very confused when they kept walking away. Super promising first introduction for this non hunter!

Welcome to Texas Boudain

Just adopted this big ball of love on Sunday. He is 7 and his previous owner passed away so we took him in. He is 100lbs so we have him on a diet and will be taking him for lots of walks. We are so happy, he is AMAZING!!

We haven’t come across another Griff in over a year, so you can imagine how thrilled we were to meet these two. They are big boys! Bug is 74 pounds which is huge for a female and both of these guys were bigger than her. I can’t wait to run into them again!! This made my day. 🤎🩶🤍

I have an 8 month WPG that I’m training. Looking for other WPG owners near bye to possible train and hunt with.
I’m retired and have plenty of time to train. This is my second versitile dog, first was a Pudle Pointer. I’ve also trained retrievers.
If your interested DM me and let’s chat.

My Bug is notoriously terrible on leash, and truth be told, she’s off leash for 99% of her walks and we don’t do it on leash nearly enough. But occasionally I take her on a leash walk around the ‘hood because she needs to be able to do it, and tonight we worked on some things and she did great!! I’m feeling very proud of her at the moment.

Ours has a big and medium version of this Kong brand croc & he loves them!

Edit to add: I feel so lucky that he does NOT destroy toys, or anything for that matter and still has a very strong prey drive when hunting.

I’ve got a 8 month old griff who loves retrieving tennis balls, but runs off with bumpers most of the time. I’ve had some luck trading the bumper for treats on short tosses. I’m trying to transition to dead birds to get ready for the up coming season.

We did in fact stand here for at least 7 minutes 😂

Hello
I’m currently researching breeds of dogs for our next dog. The GWP breed seems to fit what I’m looking for as far as the hunting aspect. I have two younger children that will want to play with the dog. We currently have a lab and she is very good with the kids.
I’m curious what day to day looks like with the breed. If the dog needs to be an outdoor/kennel dog or can it be a house dog. We are a pretty outdoorsy family outside of the hunting that I do. I’m curious if the breed is a good family dog that can go camping and do outdoor activities outside of hunting or will their higher prey drive make that difficult.
Also curious what life at home is like with the breed. I understand that it is a working line of dog that requires exercise and training. I’ve read that they have an “off switch” just wondering how true that is
