Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Books
Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) - $12.53	German Wirehaired Pointer (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) - $8.49 A superlative hunter and a loyal companion dog, the German Wirehaired Pointer competes for perfection and affection in every area. Devised by German hunters at the turn of the last century, the German Wirehaired Pointer possessed intelligence, strength, stamina and boldness, key characteristics to excel in the field as a versatile hunting partner. Few working dogs are as eager to please as this multi-purpose sporting dog, who is able to point, retrieve, trail and hold wounded game—all in a day’s work. While rugged and tireless in the field, the breed is a real "people" dog, thriving on interaction with its owners. A gentle, even-tempered companion, the GWP is ideal for a family with children, blessed with patience, superior intelligence and an outgoing, fun personality. This Comprehensive Owner’s Guide provides an insightful look at the GWP’s origins and history in Europe, the characteristics and personality of the breed and the breed standard, as well as information on selecting a well-bred puppy, caring and feeding the puppy, house-training and obedience training. Additionally, a lavishly illustrated chapter on preventive healthcare by Dr. Lowell Ackerman provides up-to-date accurate information on inoculations, parasite control, selecting a veterinarian and other topics vital to the ownership of a healthy pure-bred dog. This new Kennel Club Book series is the first choice of the country’s top breeders, trainers and veterinarians and will delight newcomers and GWP experts alike.

Dog Training: Retrievers and Pointing Dogs (The Complete Hunter) - $9.68 There is nothing more pleasing to an avid bird hunter than to watch a well-trained sporting dog do what it was bred to do: hunt. Likewise, there is nothing more pleasing to a pet owner than to watch their well-trained family dog interact in a calm and controlled manner with family and friends. With step-by-step instructions and detailed photographs and illustrations, this book provides proven information for achieving the best of both those worlds. Everything is discussed from choosing a sporting breed (retriever or pointer), to basic family-friendly obedience commands, to introducing the dog to the sound of a gun, competing in field trials and hunt tests, using an electronic collar, and keeping your sporting dog happy and healthy.

Training the Versatile Hunting Dog - $16.69 Training the Versatile Hunting Dog By Chuck Johnson Training the Versatile Hunting Dog shows you how to develop a great hunting dog with Chuck s new approach. This approach emphasizes letting your young dog first develop his natural abilities: use of nose, desire, cooperation, search, pointing, and tracking. Then, after his first season, Chuck shows you how to put the controls on your dog with chapters on the trained retrieve and whoa training. The versatile breeds also love water, and there are detailed chapters showing you how to train your dog to be an outstanding water retriever. Chuck also covers how to pick a pup, the importance of early socialization, introducing your pup to gunfire and to birds. This is a revolutionary book written for the popular versatile hunting breeds: German shorthair, wirehair, Griffon, Vizsla, and Weimaraner among others. Each instructive chapter has a detailed explanation of the training techniques, along with numerous illustrative photos. There are also detailed plans for building a quail call-back pen, a pigeon pen, and a dog kennel along with a list of dog training suppliers and various hunting dog organizations. Chuck and Blanche Johnson have been hunting, breeding, and training their own German wirehaired pointers for over 30 years. Chuck has been writing the Versatile Hunting Dog column for Pointing Dog Journal for over 15 years. He is also the author of the Wingshooter s Guides to Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Chuck and Blanche are the owners and publishers of Wilderness Adventures Press, publishers of hunting and fishing guidebooks. Blanche is a professional photographer. The Johnson s spend a number of days each fall hunting wild birds with their wirehairs. Review Gray s Sporting Journal: Chris Camuto This book strikes me as especially wise and useful in its detailed treatment-nearly week by week-of handling, living with, socializing and eventually training puppies and your hunting dogs. Chuck Johnson digs into the subtle details of what everyone knows but which is so easy to screw up - those first 24 weeks - and, if you haven t messed up by then, that first year of training and early hunting. Although Johnson is fond of and most familiar with wirehairs, this book ought to be useful for anyone training any potentially versatile breed. Most quality hunting breeds can be taught a serviceable repertoire of hunting, pointing, and/or retrieving tasks. The Versatile Hunting Dog offers a remarkable amount of detail while maintaining a running sense of what training a hunting dog is all about. 6 x 9, B&W photos Availability: New and Updated edition available February 1st.
