Starting my search for a DK

Post by gus » Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:07 am

Hello all, first post and I'm asking for help. I have been lurking for a few months reading alot of old posts before diving in for help. I am not new to the bird dog world but considering a DK for the first time and not sure where to start. I know there is alot of good breeders in the US but I don't know anything about the lines. I would also consider a pup from Europe since I work in the Middle East and travel thru Europe on my way home to see the wife. Any help or info would be great. Thanks Keith

Research, research, research, is the first thing you need to do. It seems as if you have already started that so that's good. Don't be in a hurry to buy. With that being said go to the link that adogslife left for you. It will help answer some of the questions you might have about DK's. There is also some litters posted on there sometimes. After you do your research start talking to some of the kennel owners. They love talking dogs and they will tell you where to look for the type of dog you are looking for. There are no backyard breeders when it comes to DK's. They are small in numbers so if they did ever screw someone all the other breeders would know about it. Most are pretty strict and will only sell to hunters. If you have a tough time finding breeders let me know and I can give you some names.

There are some really good breeders here in America.
If you are serious about hunting and puting the dog through the DKV testing system you can check out this kennel:http://www.vomwustenjager.com/

If I was in the current market for a DK I would also look real hard at this litter http://dk-vomsparta.com/content/view/82/105/
