Brise and Wendy Bailey's HPR on grouse

on our weeks stay in Scotland.

4 Longhairs and our Vizsla had a fantastic time when shooting over them on grouse, one day was spent counting and also working the dogs for perigrines.

20 brace were found and produced on the counting day on a moor which has not been dogged in for many years. The dogs never missed birds and worked varying winds with no problem. Congratulations to Wendy and Brise for their outstanding performance. Pictures can be viewed in the Working Gallery.

ARANY ASSESSMENT DAY

The Deutsch Langhaar

is the third most popular hunting breed in Germany and was very popular with foresters who named them The Forest Warden Dogs.The breed is renowned for its excellent hunting on all types of game, finding wounded deer and particularly water work on ducks as its coat gives excellent low temperature protection.

Larry had been impressed with the breed when he visited Prufung testing in Germany in the 1980's so 19 years later we imported 3 German Longhairs. This provided an opportuntity to prove this breeds' natural working instincts could be adapted to UK traditions and ideally, also express eye catching quality.Specialised field competition bloodlines often produces a dog which is hard to handle by less experienced owners so what we wanted was a good, biddable, obedient allrounder for the UK shooting field who was representative of their country of origin .Athough we had great faith in our decision all 3 imports had to gain awards in the field and the ring before we embarked on a breeding programme. Needless to say these dogs proved to be exceptional but maintaining consistent looks and ability in our progeny would be the ultimate proof our decisions had been the right ones.We now have a nucleus of enthusiastic owners so what better way of encouraging these concepts than having a day when all young offspring are tested for natural ability and conformation.On August 9th, by kind permission of the Kirtlington Estate, 7 puppy/ junior dogs performed individual tests for hunting, pointing, retrieving shot game and swimming . Judges were Sharon Pinkerton ( Bareve ) and Peter Lomasney. The weather was against us, it was wet and cold but what delighted us was the level of consistency in the dogs, each individual performed well, was obedient and willing to please. Finding the wind naturally with out interference from their handler, game retrieving and swimming instincts where a joy to watch, no dipping of toes in the water with this breed.A desire to work and co-operation with their handler , conformation and breed type scoring were also included. The inclement conditions prevented a tracking test and a test for guncalmess will have to be passed when the puppies are older.At the end of the day the judges gave out certificates which included marks for each test. All dogs, with the exclusion of our own Evi who came into season on the day, gained sufficient marks for admittance into our breeding programme.Novice owners gaining higher ones than the breeder proves you don't need to be a competitive " expert " to work a Longhair.

Most world wide Longhair breeders test for natural ability so it is imperative our UK stock are tested too.This will influence our access to the very best bloodlines inside and outside of Germany.This day was so successfull we hope this will become an annual programme which will include shotover days when the dogs are older. Konan and Afra are used on this estate for dogging in and it is good to know the owners are giving their full support to this project. Good working dogs, whatever the breed , have an essential role in this sport.More pictures can be viewed in our Puppy Gallery.

Arany UK and Irish FCI DL Breed Standard Awards 2008

Arthur v Munsterschlag's D and E litters

All breeds have a "standard "and all newly imported ones, including working gundogs, must be assessed in the showring before full UK breed status is approved. The Longhair achieved this in 2006.

Registered German DL's must be graded in breed type, conformation, coat, temperament and versatile working ability on all types of game. A hunter cannot have a license to shoot unless he owns a graded dog.

The aim of this kennel is to produce the same level of quality as those bred in the country of origin. We are not a "show kennel " but one who is prepared to have it's stock scrutinised by independant judges both in the ring , the field and the KC Good Citizen's Scheme.

Arthur v Munsterschlag featured in The Field

"Ultimate dog of the 21st Century could be the GLP.

Larry Wilks had some impressive points with his dog Arthur.He explains " We imported him from Dr Thomas and Birgit Berns of Munster through the pet passport scheme.He is a joy of a dog.He is a big softy though he looks so powerfull.With his size you would think he is slow, but he is not.The Berns came from Germany to see him settled in and the first thing he did was point a snipe for them.

He spent most of the time as my peg dog last season and he retrieves as well-snipe ,woodcock, everything.He has a beautifull mouth. There are fewer than 200 of these dogs in the country so it's about bringing in blood-lines, not about money".

Even so, this is a dog I would willingly give a hogshead of claret for- or should that be riesling?

Janet Menzies owner of Ft Ch Cockers including 3 rd in last years Championship Stake.
