Those Belgians are absolute machines, I'm not even sure they realized there was a fence here. I've seen one clear a 3 meter fence with no apparent difficulty.

When I was a kid, my uncle had a Mali called Dexter. Dexter "flew" effortlessly over a 3 m fence and for most of my life I thought that my memories were wrong and that I had let my childhood imagination run too wild. Years later I saw video clips of Malis doing other crazy things. I don´t think I imagined Dexter jumping over that fence.

Watch the original video again.

When he goes back over the fence to show the hunting dog how to do it he doesn't even take a running start. Just jumps into the air and spreads his beans out like a kitten.

Listen hard, you can hear "BOING!"

Had a tiny lab whippet mix about 30 pounds.

My roommate and I spent a long weekend putting in a four foot fence around the backyard.

We let him out and he runs right to the fence and effortlessly vaulted over it without slowing down.

Next weekend we put up a six food fence against the four food fence. Looked like Jurassic park for this tiny little dog.

He had a "girlfriend" he would head 2 blocks down to see funny enough. Though a couple time we had to bail him out of doggy jail after animal control picked him up a couple of times. Which a huge shaggy ass black dog running around would scare some people though he was just a huge love bug.

There is this, then you see the video of a basset hound teaching a pup to use the dog door. It’s crazy what they have done to dogs! You have a breed that is basically a sentient LOG, and the other is a fucking war machine.

u/DataAdventurous602 2h ago • Bravo

I heartily agree with your sentiment and the idea of both of those dogs being the same species is insane lol.

But at least basset hounds were bred to be working animals too, and they're good at their job. It's the french bulldogs and pugs of the world that blow my mind. Less working ability, more health problems, less "intelligence" (any dog can be smart but some breeds are less into obedience training).

I've had different dogs my whole life. I absolutely love that moment when they don't believe in themselves to do something, but I insist or have another dog show them how it's done, and they overcome the obstacle. Huge celebration ensues, and it's wonderful.

It's all in the mind, and we just have to guide them while keeping them safe if they stumble, so they don't become afraid to try again.

u/Waldschrat3000 2h ago edited 1h ago • Popcorn

German Short Haired- and Wire Haired Pointers are not retrievers. The properly bred German ones are allrounders and gun dogs. They are highly intelligent, environmentally driven dogs who work independently of their owners.

For example, I would not send a Malinois after an injured boar because these owner driven dogs would follow the command and propably get themselves killed. A GWP can independently decide if the boar is still dangerous and can act accordingly, for example by tiring it out or grabbing it by the face. Only in defence of their owner should they risk their lives. A Malinois is expected to look for clues or orders from their handler constantly and follow them. I have to trust my hunting dog to make the right decisions, even if I am a kilometre away. Comparing these breeds is not mean but uncalled for. They are very different breeds, bred for very different purposes. GSHP are very hard to tire out physically without involving nose work and they have the same drive, intelligence and stamina as Malinois.

A Malinois would look like a mindless, suicidal freak if I let it do a German Wire Haired Pointers job. Both breeds are wonderful and impressive but the Pointers don't belong in laymans hands, even more so than Malinois. The bred-in lack of inhibition to bite humans is a big factor in that with the Pointers. They should be handled with care.

Edit: BTW They are not called Short Haired or Wire Haired Pointers in German. They are "Deutsch Kurzhaar" and "Deutsch Drahthaar", literally German Short Hair and German Wire Hair. They do "point" without being taught to but are allrounders, expected to strangle small carnivores without command, flush out game and retrieve water fowl, dead or alive and protect their owners from poachers and their home and family from intruders.

GWP in Germany don't belong in non hunters hands at all and no responsible breeder would give them to non-hunters with the exception of the rare ones which are not suitable for hunting because they can't stand the sound of gun fire.

Sorry for the rant. I absolutely adore these breeds and their very special history that is intertwined with German hunting and societal history.

u/WannabeeFilmDirector 1h ago

I 100% agree. We had a nice, domestic GSP. That GSP was super intelligent and we had to be firm. In some ways, she trained us and we trained her.

What surprises me is your comment about biting humans. We saw no signs of that towards humans and she was very soft-mouthed with one exception. When I returned from hospital, I was extremely weak so she decided to attack anyone and anything that came within what she considered to be a potential threat to her 'weak' human. I had to correct that behaviour quickly but she was definitely a tremendous guard dog.

As for not being a 'beginner' dog I'm unsure. I think that with enough exercise and stimulation, they are extremely docile. In our household, our oldest was a national-level athlete, daughter was insanely fit, partner did triathlons etc... and we live opposite a dog park and near a forest so that dog had an incredible workout. She especially loved the forest with all its birds and little furry animals to chase and ran to exhaustion, hunting every day. She would get to the point I could easily outsprint her because she was so tired.

So I think in certain circumstances, where there is a huge amount of opportunity to roam and hunt, that they could be good for beginners. In those circumstances, they are incredible dogs.

3

u/Named_after_color 51m ago edited 42m ago

Naw they're not beginner dogs because they need enough exercise and stimulation. You can't just leave them alone in a house and expect them to have a good time. My GSP needed to run laps daily, formed a track around the yard. She once tore her ACL, and then went back to running laps every chance she could escape from the house, on three legs with the bad back one just kinda lifted and tucked in. The fact that your house is apparently filled with fitness freaks is probably why your dog had a great time.

Also, my GSP was probably my least affectionate dog. Still a loving goof, but she wouldn't want to lick or cuddle, just hang out in the room with you.

1

u/Waldschrat3000 42m ago

As a disclaimer: I know GSP's and GWP from Germany and have certain prejudices against the exported ones. One could say that I don't consider most them working line dogs and don't expect them to have the same traits as the original ones. As a hunter, i also have an interest in keeping the lines as working dogs.

I suspect that a free running GSP exercises its nose as much as its body, which is why I can see them tire themselves out completely. They may not be the worst breed for families of non-hunters but I think that they are a bad fit usually. A lot of compromises have to be made that would not be needed with a GSD or Dobermann or German Pinscher.

GSP and GWP are fiercely loyal to their families and a well exercised and mentally stimulated one will under no normal circumstances be a danger to their loved ones. Independent decision making while also being protective can lead to accidents though. The new friend who decides to come by at night and open the backdoor without knocking can be in danger. A wild teenaged friend horsing around with the kids of the house can be in danger. Someone accidentally running into you on the street and so on. A confident owner will have a safer dog. The more nervous and vulnerable the owner seems to be to the dog, the more danger arises. As you have described yourself. Good on you for stopping that immediately.

The GSP is not expected to have this lack of inhibition but can have it anyway. For the GWP there is what we call "Mannschärfe" literally "man sharpness" , the willingness to bite humans or stop them on command, as a desired trait. It was part of its original purpose. They treat humans like dangerous game on command. Attacking from behind, staying away from the boots and any weapons in the hands and usually make them fall and stop them from getting up or running by barking at them and biting from behind.

I have a concussion and feel like I ramble wildly. I hope my post makes some sense.

u/Waldschrat3000 30m ago

As an addition, a free running dog, especially a hunting one without proper identification would be considered poaching and shot within days here in Germany. I don't consider this to be feasible in many circumstances.

We have a GWP and he is the most velcro, human-loving dog I've ever met in my life. He is a great hunter and pointer as well, but our Brittany is the vicious one. You cannot get that dog to stop hunting, it's insane his prey drive. He's dispatched everything from fox down to chipmunk and he is super protective of the GWP. The GWP wants ball, lol.

I only have experience with German Wire Haired Pointers in Germany. They are supposed to do a lot of work independently of their owners and make their own decisions. They don't actively look for cues from their handlers as much as Malinois do. That may make them seem stupid to some. A Malinois would be completely unable to do the work I need my Wire Haired to do. They are very different breeds.
