Deutscher Wachtelhund
About the Deutscher Wachtelhund
Deutscher Wachtelhunds are lively and very enthusiastic hunters. Friendly and self-assured in their natural environment, biddable and highly adaptable, they are never timid or aggressive, keeping close to the trail over long distances, especially when trained and handled appropriately.
Due to their versatility, they can be employed to track wounded or lost game, retrieve and flush in brushwood, heavy woodland and water. Deutscher Wachtelhunds are medium-sized, long-haired flushing dogs with very well-developed muscles, solid bones and a noble head.
