It's a shame whats happened to the GWP in NZ. There are no NZ registered breeders with Dogs NZ and as far as I know the only pure GWP's being bred from refreshed bloodlines are Hotwyr who have links with Aus and are show oriented (but plenty of them hunt and hunt well).
The Drahthaar seems to be struggling along but have had a difficult time getting over recognition of non docked dogs within the hierarchy in Germany.
Since I bought my GWP about 14 years ago there has been a steady decline in the GWP and a the rise and almost demise of the Drahthaar.
It's a real shame because its a wonderful hunting breed.
This isn't to deride the pups advertised here by the brand new member. They likely will be good hunters, but just aren't the pure pups bred by progressive breeders that the breed so badly needs.
