"I am a first time DK owner and have been beyond pleased with my first 7 months with Eider. (he is right at 9 months) He is a male from a breeding between Belle vom Speidel and Vito vom Osterberg, from Steve Waters (vom Speidel).

Eider has had a great first year, being exposed to pheasants, snow geese, ducks, and grouse. I couldn't have asked for a better companion dog and certainly believe he will be a great hunting dog after the year we had.

My father has his brother, Deke, and there is not a better treat than to watch these two chase birds together."

"Alli and I just returned from a trip to Saskatchewan, Canada. The real proof of the quality of the DK we own is in the field or marsh. Alli showed me that quality during our trip. On several occasions she hunted blind retrieves, trusting me there was a duck, sharptail or hungarian partridge down. Her passion for the hunt was amazing to watch!

We now will head to the more familiar waters of the Atlantic and the grouse and woodcock covers of northern Maine for the rest of our fall hunting season. The ability of our DKs to switch gears from the prairies to the thick alder runs or the Saskatchewan ponds to the rough and icy Atlantic is amazing. The Deutsch Kurzhaar is truly a great hunting companion."

"Here is Ciro after a morning hunt for Canadian goose this weekend.

He did a really nice search in the corn field in the back, we clipped a wing on one and it glided right in the middle of the field.

Ciro did not see it, I sent him on a search and he came back with it after 10 minutes.

It is really nice to see all that training put to good use."
