GWP pointers have been breed with no regulation, it's like the difference between an American rottweiler and a German rottweiler. I understand they share physical characteristics but breed wise they are a lot more stringent with the drahthaars
That may be the same deal of the Britts like I have, and the French Britt's. The French are more closely bred, and their price is at a premium. I looked on the net, as I wanted one of the French breed after reading how well they work. But the only thing I found on "reputable" breeders was they almost have to come to your house at your expense before they will let you adopt one of their dogs. That was about 5 years ago. My Britt that I have works out fine for me.
Sounds like a good way to get a free weekend.
