Dawn of Matotoland Kennel New Generation Gsp's - HPR Hunting dog


This is why we breed German Shorthairs
Hi Francois

I thought I should give you a update on what happened last weekend, being at the end of bird hunting season Dawn and I was sitting at home bored and frustrated so we decided to go out for a early morning walk on a game farm. In Limpopo finding training grounds are not easy as a wing shooter so we do the majority of our training on game farms. On arrival the owner approached me and asked if I could assist in finding a wounded Impala that he shot earlier that morning as rations for his staff. Not keen to use my trained bird dog to chase wounded animals in 30 degree heat I agreed to help since we have the use of his farm for training.  We were taken to were the Impala was shot and we looked around for traces of blood found nothing and finally had to follow the spoor. I encouraged Dawn to take the spoor she was nosing around and suddenly took off in the direction the herd had run off I was tempted to call her then decided to give her a chance and followed her instead. In a distance I saw her going on point and rushed to her the wounded Impala was found I was amazed with what happened. The last 10 months we had only trained on birds and Dawn tracked and found an wounded Impala starting with tracks and no blood were it was shot on I was truly  amazed at what my little GSP had just done!

Watching our new Generation Gsp's work ....
Danny new Imp from USA is now really showing promise since she had time in the field finding and holding birds.  Dawn one of our new generations pups bred from Dollar  x  Dixie both imports from Wildrose German Shorthairs is exactly what we wanted. Dawn adapts well keeps good contact with her handler easy to handle biddable and very natural in all aspects!
Dollar has made a huge improvement in our breed
We have so many lines to choose from and can now breed from a easy going hunting dog to a competitive  field trial dog  that will do well in any conditions in South Africa.
