    Correct. However, these two breeds, upon separation, went quite different ways. GLP remined strong built slow dog with a strong emphasis on calmness and waterwork (still official breeding philosophy to this day). While the LM decided to go with more of GPS type of a dog with lighter structure...

    @Tex68w Wonderful. Man I should have moved to TX or CO when I was being recruited right when I was still in collage :D There is good woodcock season going on in east TX now. Have you paid a visit?

    Yes, pups are not available as easily as GWP or GSP. That is the problem for niche breeds. I know two people who could get a pup from the club due to the waitlist. One ended up with a DK (German bred GSP) and other one with a Small Mustie. This is the reason why GSP or Labs are so easy to get...

    Thanks! I hear you. I always loved a long haired breeds too. I grew up with setters and hunted with them for almost 10 years. They are excellent upland dogs and have amazing qualities for that. However, I ended up liking waterfowl hunting more and more as well, so they became a bit hard to...

    @PirateMcGee May I ask you what's the difference between a Lab and a Golden in terms of hunting? In other wards why would somebody go with a Golden instead of a Lab? since good hunting labs are way either to get. I see labs all the time when I hunt, but yet to see a Golden.

    Yeah not sure about the Pudelpointer clubs, but our breed is quite hard to get. There are only 6 or 7 breeding females available. I am already securing my future pup for 2024-2025... well I am sort of picky so it harder for me. Always wanted do to this. The mountains. the vistas, the bird, the...

    1/2 Ton vs 3/4 Ton for Family Adventures?

    Depends how much load you are carrying other than the people. Let me tell you what my friend did. He started with a 2nd gen. Tacoma. He was single + 2 dogs and hunting gear + bike. He was very happy. Then He got a gal... Tacoma still was just fine. He added a roof tent. Then he end up getting...

    @PirateMcGee I have not owned them but I have seen them at NAVHDA training clinic. Here is the thing with Pudelpointer. The PP is a legendary breed. If you ask me the best among other wirehaired breeds. It was used as a model dog when the creator of NAVHDA, Bodo, was creating the rules for...

    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    Is the biodiesel out of the equation when it comes to the mid size engines ? I remember our esteemed scientist were saying how promising it was... and it would revolutionize the car industry. @warwickscout when you got that truck, did it have better mpg before you put it on 35s? In video...

    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    I don’t think the vast majority of people who buy the 150 class pay to much attention to the payload. The vast majority of the high-end off-road trucks such as Raptor, Zr2 and Rebel have very bad payload numbers. The Tundra TRD off-road is like 4 adults plus tow suitcases. What I am saying is...

    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    Ford, GM and RAM have been putting small (3.0 v6) diesel in their 150(0) series trucks for quite some time. Maybe like 7 or 8 years. All of them seem to have very good mpg and even if the fuel is expensive they are still better for mileage. I was recently watching couple of owner’s videos on...

    Had unsuccessful goose hunt this morning. None of them landed close to me. I didn’t have decoys or blind. I was sitting in the bush. Maybe that’s why. It’s such a heavy equipment hunt, but in the same time absolutely exciting and addictive.

    He is making a good point why the BMW engine makes sense. It is a proven I-6. Has been around for a decade.

    Lads, how is the season coming about? --- I spent thee days in hellish cold in upstate NY searching for a Ruffed Grouse. Only saw one... in a private land. However, my dog did recover two killed deer. All hams and good parts were cut and the rest was left there. The skin and heads were left...

    A good set of winter tires will solve your adventures in most of the areas in the states. Especially in New England. I drove my Saab 9-5 Wagon on winter tires in NH and upstate NY winter and it wasn't too much behind of Subarus. In some cases it drove even better. If you have means get a Ford...
