i found two great dogs for sale today and im thinking really hard about this one.... i have heard many great things about both breeds reguarding upland game.. i would love to hear some of your thoughts and opinions before i make mine....

GSP, but then again I'm VERY biased, I own 2 and they are great dogs. Very versatile and will go to the ends of the earth to please you. My vet owns one of each and said the Weim is always very nervous and anxious. But that can vary from dog to dog. Both are great dogs, you can't go wrong.

i agree, i had a gsp a few years back.. she was a great dog. xwife gots her and my other choc lab lol... this will be my second upland dog and i think im going to try and train myself...

Wish you were closer and you could train with us in the DFW.

i would love that!!! im trying to find a group or even a few people here to trainand hunt with. since i just moved here to the great state of texas...

Try to remember, there are reasons why the GSP is preferred by many hunters.

GSP!!!!

GSP! Hands down.

For hunting, GSP. For an everyday dog, Weims may be a little calmer.

What "great weim" did you come across? Great weims are not found in the local paper or for sale on a corner. Neither are GSPS either but a good gsp is much easier to find and the weims that hunt and come from good breeders are not easy to find.

A weim with champion field lines/NAVHDA is going to cost about 1k. a GSP with the same background is can go for half that, something else to think about.

My brother in law has a weim...it's just a pet but that dog is very large and very hyperactive...drives me friggin nuts...I would never get one.

GSP for sure. If you get one from a good bloodline it will almost train itself.

+1, IMO there's no contest here... GSP paws down.

Hands down GSP I have two and in my opion you will not find another dog that will work harder for you.

If you bred any bred to a pointer and keep doing you will eventually get a birddog.

or you could just get a Drahthaar and you'd have everything you need in a dog...

Good and Drahthaar make great hog dogs.

Steady! Should meet at your place in Bertram and see who's dog has the best nose? I'll even promise not to rub it in here on the board if my "hog" dog out points your pointers.

You guys can show us rather than tell us by showing up at a NSTRA trial.

I would have to say it would be easier to find a good GSP for hunting than a weim of the same caliber. Not that you can't. I watched a 7 1/2 month old weimaraner doing blind retrieves and delivering to hand. Same dog was working on being steady to the flush, and doing a good job at it. I think she was the exception and not what you are going to find in most weimaraners.
If you want to know where she was purchased and the training she has had I can find out for you. Just send me a pm. I don't know it for a fact, but I bet they paid quite a bit for her.

Would a DD be allowed? Or just enter them as a GWP?

I think either would do. It depends on how the pup was registered.

thanks everyone.. .. i came home from work friday and came home to a weim puppy.. wife wanted to do something nice for me.. got to love them.. so guess ill have to train this pup until dec and make a drive to dallas to get me a gsp.

Save yourself some miles and stop in Seymore and talk to Charlie Rose if you want a hunting GSP.
