German Spaniel review
Neutral reviews

Rare outside its homeland, the German Spaniel is almost always kept as a hunter. It was originally bred as a peasant’s dog after the German state revolutions of the nineteenth century, and it still retains its essential versatility, stamina, and strength. It is a medium-sized but strongly boned spaniel that is an extremely keen worker, and though it is extremely sociable with humans and other dogs, it is considered to have too high a prey drive to be a suitable pet for most owners.

The German Spaniel is known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund, or “German quail dog” in its native Germany, and has a long and relatively well-documented history. It is descended from a now-extinct hunting dog called the Stoeberer, which was first mentioned in literature from the early 1700s. This progenitor was said to have a nose at least as sensitive as a Bloodhound, which is an impressive claim, though impossible to prove at this point in time. Stoeberers were generally owned by the ruling classes, who had the monopoly on hunting in Germany around this time. However, after the peasant revolts of 1848, the common man was also given the right to hunt, and he needed a more versatile dog that could serve in the place of a pack of different, specialist breeds.

This is an extremely energetic breed, ever alert and eager to be on the move. It also very docile and accepting of strangers, never showing unprovoked aggression, and its confident nature means it is not easily “spooked”, so it is generally trustworthy around children. The Wachtelhund’s extremely strong prey drive means that it becomes bored easily, and if kept confined or under-stimulated, it is likely to express its frustration vocally, or to take to digging or chewing destructively. Although it is sometimes kept in kennelled accommodation, it is happier when afforded constant contact with its owners. While it is extremely sociable with other dogs, it will see smaller animals as prey, so it is not suitable for homes with non-canine pets.

Good-natured and adaptable, but primarily bred to be a hunting dog, the German Shorthaired Pointer has a high energy level and belongs with an equally athletic owner who will take him running, biking, or hiking.

Obedience training is a must for instilling self-discipline and control, for this breed can be a bundle of intense energy. Fortunately he is eminently trainable . . . but he does not obey blindly. Indeed, though the German Shorthaired Pointer can become focused when required to do so, he is easily distracted and does know his own mind and you need to be both patient and firm.

German Shorthaired Pointers are athletic dogs who need regular opportunities to vent their energy and gallop. Otherwise they will become rambunctious and bored, which dogs usually express by barking and destructive chewing. Bored German Shorthairs are famous for chewing through drywall, ripping the stuffing out of sofas, and turning your yard into a moonscape of giant craters

Also known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund, the German Spaniel is a hunting breed known for its thick, wavy coat and its friendly temperament. Though it was developed as a hunting dog, this breed is highly adaptable to different living situations as long as his needs for exercise are met. Even so, his primary purpose is to work as a gun dog hunting upland game.

The German Spaniel is an intelligent and trainable breed developed for its strong hunting instincts and versatility. These dogs are generally friendly toward other dogs and people, plus they are highly adaptable to new situations and courageous in the field. This breed fulfills a variety of roles as a gun dog, capable of hunting, tracking, and retrieving. The German Spaniel loves his work and can be an aggressive hunter, so training may be necessary to control his instincts if you plan to keep him as a family pet. These dogs need a firm and consistent hand in leadership when it comes to training, though they may not respond well to harsh training methods. Positive reinforcement training is recommended.

Train your dog to respond to basic commands like come, sit, stay, and go. Also, teach your German Spaniel to chase, stop, and stand down since these commands will be particularly useful when your dog takes part in hunting sessions. Reward it with its favorite treats every time it obeys your commands. Let it know that an obedient behavior is something that impresses you.
anonymous
The average lifespan for the German Spaniel is thought to be about 12 to 14 years which is about average for a breed of its size. To maximize your German Spaniel’s lifespan, you should be sure to feed him a healthy, high-quality diet formulated for large-breed dogs or try a formula for active breeds.

No two puppies cost the same. This is why you need to keep into account that puppy prices will differ based on where you’re buying and whom you’re buying from.
Top notch breeders will charge you more for a high-quality pup whereas beginner breeders may charge you a little less.
On average the price of a German Spaniel puppy will be in between $900 to $1000.
If the price is too low or too high you need to reevaluate your options since that would mean that there is something wrong with either the pup or the breeder.
Apart from the $1000 price tag also keep in mind any transportation costs since you would most likely be importing your German Spaniel from Germany if you don’t have a breeder nearby.

The German Spaniel is a multifunctional hunting dog with lively and sociable individuality. As its name suggests the dog was invented and developed in Germany and it’s valued there as an exceptionally good gundog. This breed is an independent thinker and requires strong leadership.
