Thread: Replacement GWP

They more dangerous than a pitbull or atleast in my experience any way

I was fortunate enough to get one of Kawhia’s dogs. He is nearly 9 months old, and is a really lovely dog.

He has the strongest hunting drive of any dog I have known. I live on a 10 acre block, and when he is outside he is always honing his skills, constantly hunting. The down side of this is he brings back remains of mice, rats and birds that our cat has killed.

When he is around the house he is the friendliest, loveable family dog you could want. I have only ever heard him bark once - my son shot a young pig when when our dog was about 5-6 months old, and he was a bit unsure what it was when he was standing next to it so he woofed at it (the dog did, not my son).

I have never seen any aggression from him at all. He is intelligent so easy to train, loves the car, has never batted an eye lid at the sound of gun shots, and really wants to be with me. If I was looking for another dog, I know what I would be trying to get.

My vet insists that I hold the dogs head because GWPs are the worst...but I've always had the impression that its about Kiwi backyard breeding...

Backyard breeding or inbreeding? after all many if not majority of all purebreds in NZ are inbreed
