German Wirehaired Pointers

(Deutsch Drahthaar)

German Wirehaired Pointers have always had a big part to play in the Maursett household.  Headstrong, wilful and plain wicked at times, they have nevertheless become part of our way of life.  

Fizz (Sh Ch Normbar Coleen of Maursett ) is one of the more recent German Wirehaired Pointer stars with the Maursett Mob and her offspring look to be set for a pretty impressive future as well.  It's hard to believe, but 2008 will see Fizz entering into the Veteran classes! 

Fizz's daughter, Sh Ch Maursett Marelda via Normbar owned by Norma Ellis, has gained her title at quite an early age and is a regular worker as well - like the Clumber Spaniel, the German Wirehaired Pointer is truly a dual purpose gundog achieving success in both the show ring and as a working gundog.

Meanwhile, our latest German Wirehaired Pointer, Liesl (Fizz's granddaughter), was introduced to the show ring in 2007 and we are having some great fun with her - she's a real character, with all the eagerness and vitality that you would expect from a GWP;  she has a super temperament and, like Fizz, is great with the grandkids and the rest of our dogs and cats.

It is also pleasing to hear that Liesl's litter sister and brother - Normbar Olympia and Normbar Austin (out of Sh Ch Maursett Marelda via Normbar) - have both had successful starts to their show careers in  German Wirehaired Pointer classes in Australia.

It was a big blow to us when we lost Lynsett Alfons at Maursett (Fonz) just before Christmas 2000.  He was full of character and Tony's constant companion - and as good a working gundog as you could ask for.
