My buddy has one and it’s the best dog I’ve ever hunted with. They’re very versatile hunters and exceptional house pets. Really want to be part of the family. Tough to find a litter for and they’re expensive usually. He hasn’t ever mentioned any issues with heat being a problem and I doubt there is any more of an issue with heat than labs or any other wire haired dog, just pay attention and use common sense.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/AvUPi.gif)

You can PM me with any questions you have. I have two. The above is very accurate regarding the house and wanting to be around their people. Also accurate about common sense with the heat. They do not do well anywhere being left outside away from the family. The older one is starting to struggle a bit on our 3 mile walks, but its more to her being old and having some health issues from getting hurt. In her prime she would go all day like the younger one does now. I mostly duck hunt and both have done well with the crappy trainer they have. I night know of a littler either coming up or just passed. I still get emails from the breeder I got my 2nd one from and I don't think I kept it. He is out of Missouri and I picked him up in Tulsa as another one was going there.

My understanding is there aren’t a ton of breeders in the country.

I have had 2 back in the day. Both loved to climb fences and dig. But they were great dogs. Live here in West Texas and neither had issues with weather, but they were both house dogs as well. My brother owns one in Idaho and has had a few over the years. They have really gone up in price since I last owned mine.
Spend time with the ones you love. Time is not guaranteed.

Small gene pool, unlikely to hunt in front of a buggy or quail rig . You are looking at a dog really only suitable for walk hunts.

Too hot man, shorthairs are popular here for a reason.
I'll take a Black Female every time.

Tony Miller trains a lot of griffs. Endeavor kennels
Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.
