Thread: My last dog couldnt swim so now i need a new one.

nah not common, they aren't common in general. In aus its 99.99% GWP, get a wild deer or Australian deer hunter magazine and its riddled with them, the odd bloke has a GSP or Vizsla but thats about it.
I'm sure there are a few but labs are pretty much just bird dogs here.
The thing to remember though is we have had really strict laws on the breeds of dog allowed to hunt deer so its created a wirehair culture.
A few blokes do use them for deer though, I'm yet to hear anything bad about them. GWP was always my first choice but with the missus to please I had to compromise and now the brit idea has grown on me.
Still keen to get one yourself one day?

Interesting. Yeah no surprises with the missus, those GWP are ugly bastards haha. Yeah definitely. I love dogs and mad keen to get myself an indicator. I have to be careful not to let my eagerness land me with a dog before I'm ready to give it the training it needs. I'll look closely how you get on with your Brittany; if it's good it would be worth considering for myself when I start to look for one.
