Whether fur, feather, or blood, the Wachtelhund is an excellent bird dog
who works hard for all your hunting needs in even the roughest
conditions. However, don't let their outdoor ambition fool you, the
Wachtelhund is also a great family dog! They enjoy the company of people
and dwelling within the home.
This rare breed is still owned and sold almost exclusively to foresters
and professional hunters in Germany where they are used for hunting
feathered game, including waterfowl, and furred game from hare, fox, and
wild boar. They are not pack hunters but one-on-one hunters and able to
hold a wounded boar at bay. In Germany there are many hunt and health
tests required before breeding. In the United States they are bred by
hunters and sold only to hunters.
This breed is a flusher/retriever and runs between 40 and 65 pounds in size. Both dogs have been imported from Germany.
