Thanks for the reply, John. Its not really surprising that you haven't run into them. They're not recognized by the AKC, but they are by the Canadian Kennel Association. Not common up here by any means though.

Bob,
German Longhaired Pointers are registrable with NAVHDA=North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. If you go to their website you can look up performance test scores, etc. They also have a list of registered breeders. I know from looking at their site , most breeders are located in the Western US or Western Canada. Good luck with your search. Tim |

We're not fans of AKC. Elitist snobs. We had American Bulldogs decades ago and AKC didn't recognize that breed even though it was older and more pure than most of the breeds they did recognize at the time. AKC had bought out FDSB and said they will no longer accept English Setter registrations from FDSB after July 1. My wife spoke to s girl at AKC and she said they are not registering Setters now because "They already have too many." Seriously?? It's like dealing with schoolgirls.

I have participated in, and enjoyed, AKC pointing dog trails for many years and I have run and judged dogs all over Georgia and Florida. But I have grown weary of the Pros. and my back just can't take 8+ hours a day in the saddle anymore. These days I just enjoy running the dogs off horse back on my place and not having to worry about picking them up because they weren't steady enough to wing and shot. Or, God forbid, their tail wasn't at 12 o'clock.

Mike, a correction is needed. UKC (United Kennel Club), not AKC, purchased American Field and along with it the FDSB registration.

You are correct, I had my AKC/UKC confused. However, it was AKC that told my wife they were not registering more Setters.
Bob, that is a beautiful pup you have!! May you share many happy moments with that boy!! |
