   Welcome to the home of Flint Hills Wachtelhunds.
I am looking for some "real" hunters that may be looking for a good dog.  To make a long story short, I acquired a Deutsche Wachtelhund (pronounced walk-tell-hund, also known as German Spaniels) in 1995 from Alaska.  I had never heard of the breed but liked what I saw and took the plunge.  The result was that my dog turned out to be everything I expected and more.  There are now a few hundred or so Wachtelhunds in North America.  The Germans have been keeping these dogs a secret for almost a 100 years.  A small group of us dedicated hunters are trying to introduce them to North America.

Dang right, I can't call them [:D]. Jake (20 months old) is showing some hunting aggresiveness lately. Hopefully Jen will be picking it up shortly.

Seems the use of these turkey dogs got a bad rap in the past for being used by market hunters....and now overcoming that old stereotype by being used by sportsmen.

Is the sport growing enough to sustain itself and what do you guys think the future holds?

I live here in Virginia and the area here it seems it is slowly dying off in the use of turkey dogs. I have started to see a drop off starting in the late 80's early 90's.
 
But due to a little more publicty being generated, books, internet use and a couple more great fall articles about it in Turkey Call over the last 2 years I see a little more interest and a couple States starting to approve the use of turkey dogs in the fall season. PA just started allowing the use of dogs in the fall. WI is allowing certain counties in a test to see how it goes. And there is legislation in a couple other States coming up for the use of dogs in the fall season.
 
So with that I feel the use of dogs in fall hunting will have a little resurgence over the next few years.

I for one certainly hope this is not a dying sport.Lord willing I will be traveling to Va tomarrow to pick up a pup for this grand sport.It will be my first attempt at turkey dogging and I am very excited.It will be a learning process for both the dog and I to be sure,but one I'm looking forward too.If anyone has any questions send me a P.M. I'll will be glad to help if I can.Just as others have done for me.Please remember this is dog #1 so I have nothing to go on as of yet.Thanks to all that have gotten me this far!
