:lol: Glad to be of service! Hmmm, and I thought I'd turned my smokeybear blocker off??? ;-)
Thanks, I'm very proud (and surprised) I didn't swear when I went down the hole tbh as it was one of many over the 2 hours! :lol: I've been told...
A little vid I took today, it probably doesn't look much to experienced gundog folk, but considering this was a dog who wouldn't stray 10 feet from...
So to summarise: in one breath Weims are a dual purpose HPR breed as they have 2 FTCHs and some full Champions in the breed, but then in the next...

So he's not an excellent worker then? If so my opinion still stands for the same reasons. By evidence I meant the evidence to show my opinion. ;)
Is the dog in question one of these "excellent workers"? Regarding the rest, I still do not believe there was any justification for breeding this...
I know only too well about looking at the bigger picture - look back at some of my posts. And of course the huge difference between WSDs and GSDs is...
