Did the Český Fousek Shape the Wirehaired Breeds?

Saison 4 · Épisode 10

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 32:34

Dog historian and author Craig Koshyk explores one of Europe's most fascinating hunting breeds as he traces the remarkable history, genetics, and legacy of the Český Fousek. From medieval Bohemia through two world wars and the breed's near extinction, Craig uncovers how the Český Fousek survived, evolved, and may have influenced the development of other wirehaired pointing breeds, including the German Wirehaired Pointer, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, and Stichelhaar. Drawing on decades of research, firsthand travels in the Czech Republic, and the latest genetic studies, this episode separates myth from history to reveal the enduring story of one of the continent's most important—and often misunderstood—gun dogs.

How the German Wirehaired Pointer Put Performance Over Pedigree

Saison 4 · Épisode 9

mercredi 7 janvier 2026 • Durée 30:44

In this episode of Hunting Dog Confidential, host and dog historian Craig Koshyk explores the remarkable history of the Deutsch-Drahthaar, known in English as the German Wirehaired Pointer. Tracing the breed’s origins to turn-of-the-century Germany, Craig explains how a small group of forward-thinking breeders broke with convention by opening the studbook and prioritizing performance over pedigree purity. Against the backdrop of nationalism, war, and strict dog breed politics, he follows the rise of the Drahthaar from a controversial experiment to Germany’s most dominant versatile gundog. Along the way, Craig examines the philosophy of “form follows function,” the breed’s survival through two world wars, its spread to North America, and the enduring debate over names, systems, and identity that still surrounds the breed today.

Stichelhaar: The Rare German Pointing Dog You’ve Probably Never Seen

Saison 4 · Épisode 8

mardi 18 novembre 2025 • Durée 22:59

In this episode of Hunting Dog Confidential, host and dog historian Craig Koshyk uncovers the turbulent and almost-forgotten story of the Stichelhaar—Germany’s oldest rough-haired pointing breed and one that nearly vanished more than once. From 19th-century arguments over its origins to the nationalist politics, studbook battles, and misguided purity standards that choked its gene pool, Craig charts how this rugged old hunting dog survived in spite of its breeders rather than because of them. Along the way, he reveals its deep connections to the drahthaar, its close kinship with the Český fousek, and the small circle of modern hunters and breeders fighting to keep it alive. The episode follows Craig’s own journey to finally see the breed in northern Germany, offering a rare glimpse into a resilient gundog whose story is as tangled and wiry as its coat—yet still deserving of recognition, respect, and a future.

Pudelpointer: The Dog That Challenged the Breeding World

Saison 4 · Épisode 7

mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 26:23

In this episode of Hunting Dog Confidential, host and dog historian Craig Koshyk unravels the unlikely origins of the Pudelpointer—the world’s first true “designer dog” that actually worked. From the ambition of German hunters seeking the perfect versatile gun dog to the barons, breeders, and field trials that defined a generation, Craig traces how this bold experiment challenged tradition and reshaped the very idea of what a versatile hunting dog could be. Along the way, he explores the breed’s enduring success, its contrast with modern designer dogs, and why the Pudelpointer remains a symbol of purpose-driven breeding done right.

Where Did the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Come From?

Saison 4 · Épisode 6

mercredi 1 octobre 2025 • Durée 39:16

In this episode of Hunting Dog Confidential, host and dog historian Craig Koshyk takes us deep into the fascinating history of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Beginning in the 1800s with Eduard Korthals’s vision as a young Dutchman working for a German prince, through international debates over crossbreeding, nationalism, and breed standards, Craig traces how the Griffon emerged as a versatile gundog with its own unique identity. Along the way, he explores the myths about the breed’s hunting style, its ups and downs through wars and club politics, and the passionate breeders who shaped it into the dog we know today.

Can Dog Shows Judge Hunting Dog Performance?

Saison 4 · Épisode 5

mercredi 27 août 2025 • Durée 59:58

In this episode, host and hunting dog historian Craig Koshyk joins co-host Jennifer Wapenski—co-owner and director of operations at Project Upland—to unpack where show-ring conformation meets real field performance. Can the show ring judge a dog’s ability to hunt? Are parts of show-ring culture promoting lines that haven’t hunted for generations? They trace how standards originated, question assumptions such as straight-set legs and “ideal” shoulder angles, and compare Europe’s performance-anchored evaluations with North America’s ring-centric culture—arguing that form and function are inseparable for true working dogs.

They also dig into ethics and honesty in breeding: what “champion” really means without field proof, why lifetime records of structure and performance matter, and how breeders can give hunters clear, evidence-based guidance. Whether you come from the show side, the field side, or somewhere in between, the conversation offers a practical path forward—education, transparent evaluation, and testing that prioritizes real-world work.

The History and Debate of High Tails Versus Low Tails in Pointing Dogs

Saison 4 · Épisode 4

dimanche 1 juin 2025 • Durée 42:01

In this episode, Craig Koshyk explores two distinct perspectives on pointing dog tails—whether they should be held high or low. What might seem like a minor detail sparks a deeper debate shaped by centuries of breeding, cultural differences, and shifting hunting styles. Craig takes us back in time through research, art, photographic evidence, and written accounts from the early years of pointing dogs. He expands on his own personal experiences, from Europe to the United States, and offers theories on how and why these differences—and the strong opinions surrounding them—persist today.

Parts of this history have broader implications, including the crossbreeding of not just various hunting dog breeds but even hounds. It prompts us to think long and hard about whether the tail truly matters—and when it does, why it matters at all.

The German Influence on Hunting Dog Breeds

Saison 4 · Épisode 2

dimanche 19 janvier 2025 • Durée 23:07

The episode, hosted by Craig Koshyk, a renowned dog historian, explores how early German immigrants, particularly those who settled in Texas, may have introduced hunting dogs before the popularization of breeds like the German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP). Koshyk, author of Pointing Dogs, Volume One: The Continentals and Pointing Dogs, Volume Two: The British and Irish Breeds, provides historically accurate insights, suggesting that settlers arriving in the 1830s and 1840s could have brought ancestral hunting breeds, challenging the belief that German gundogs first appeared in America in the 1930s.

This is a story of culture, changing times, and America's continued efforts to advance everything they put their hands on.
