Yep had a bit to do with them, my biggest issue with them hunting wise is ironically the reason most buy them - size. I really think in a pointing breed you need a minimum of 22 inches at the shoulder to not wear down in heavy cover typical of North Island pheasant country. To justify that statement, remember air scenting pointing breeds tend to run over things, ground scenting flushing breeds tend to go under. Galloping through heavy pohuehue in dune country or overgrown riverbeds for hours on end is hard work even on larger dogs. This wouldn't be an issue for a south island upland dog however. Otherwise fantastic dogs.

Old man is planning a litter out of his import bitch again soon, I have a pup from the first litter and he is very nice, doing it all at an early age. PM for his details.
