DRAHTHAAR PUPPY MANUAL - Fourth Edition. A complete guide to surviving your first Deutsch-Drahthaar puppy experience and the German breeding and testing systems, by Altmoor owners Roger Smith and Nancy Bohs. After years of urging by other German registry breeders, we've finally made our puppy manual available to the general public. This 120+ page manual is designed to get the new owner of a German-registered Drahthaar up to speed as quickly as possible with regard to the complex German breeding and testing systems, and provide a step-by-step detailed guide to raising and training the pup from 8 weeks through 2 years. Training and preparation for the spring Puppy Test (VJP) and Fall Breed Test (HZP) is covered in great detail. Tips on advanced work such as steadiness, e-collars, and blood track training are also included. While biased toward the Deutsch-Drahthaar, owners of any of the German-registered versatiles should find this manual to be an extremely useful guide, and owners of any versatile breed, regardless of registry, should find it very helpful in preparing their pup for its ultimate role as the complete gun dog. We offer this manual with quantity discounts so that breeders wishing to provide this manual with their pups may do so most economically - buy 8 or more for $10 each.

ARMBRUSTER TRAINING MANUAL - Leonard F. Armbruster was an American who trained and bred Deutsch-Drahthaars while living in Germany. He enjoyed much success in the German testing system, and his training methods were greatly admired. His method of demonstrating control of his dogs by use of the Halt command when his dogs flushed a hare, and then were sent on to track it successfully, was so impressive that a special award was created in 1970 to single out dogs that are trained to such a high level. It is called the Armbruster Halt Award and is still awarded in Germany and the US today. Len compiled this training manual for handlers of versatile hunting dogs as yet another service to the Deutsch-Drahthaar and its devotees. He donated the rights to his primer to Verein Deutsch-Drahthaar / Group North America.
