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.
