In every litter, there is a variance of genetic propensities. Some dogs just have more "stuff". At first, I kept whole litters back, for up to one year, in order to ascertain which pups I wanted to keep. It soon became apparent that I needed an "early" system of evaluation, to determine which pups were the best. I devised a system which was based upon measuring the inherited characteristics, rather than upon the "learned" behavior. Inherited traits are divided into "Physical" traits and "Performance" traits. When puppies were tested under the age of eight weeks, the results are a reflection their genetic potential. After this age the capacity to learn increases rapidly. As the pup matures, learning masks the instinct, and it becomes virtually impossible to distinguish what the pup has learned from what is his natural instinct. More specifically, I learned that certain traits surface at precise periods, and the potency of a specific trait is a measure of that pup's inherited genetic potential.

This is great for business, but requires some patience on the part of our awaiting customer. The normal waiting period, on prepaid orders, varies from 2 months to 1 year, depending upon the specifications of the order. Parties who must wait one year or longer will have their order upgraded one level at no additional cost. This means that a person ordering a "Performance" level pup, will receive a "Supreme" level if the order should exceed a waiting time of one year or greater. All monies received are earnest money and are non-refundable. We have a non-cancellation policy. Much time and effort is expended to make certain that you will receive the very best hunting dog that money can buy. As a rule, the most expensive pups, have the shortest waiting period. It is advisable to mail your payment-in-full, because it is locked into the data base by this date of deposit. Orders which are made using the minimal deposit, have a separate list, which becomes activated, only after we have filled those parties on the paid-in-full list. A minimal $25.00 deposit is required on puppies, and the balance must be paid two weeks prior to shipment. One half of the total purchase price is required for deposit on the started and trained dogs. The preferred method of payment is with a certified check or money order. 

Visa and Mastercard can be used via PayPal. Personal checks can be used for orders which allow ample time to clear. 

There are approximately 50,000 hunting dogs sold, in America, each year. Our kennel produces only a small fragment of this total number. Our average production is around 50 pups per year. Our kennel is not in any affiliation with any other kennel, and we work on our own. We will not express an opinion on any outside kennel, nor their dogs. In such a huge marketplace, we do not feel that we are in competition with other kennels. It almost seems unimaginable, but in this massive market, someone will purchase each and every dog. Unfortunately, some buyers will receive good ones, others bad. If you want to be the proud owner of one of our dogs, envied by other hunters, then we suggest that you reply.

A 150-page manual on the Drahthaar is available for those individuals who purchase a wirehair from Treborwolf Kennel. I know of no other kennel which offers such a manual. It contains material on the history and development of the Deutsch Drahthaar, a description of breed standards, names of organizations, books and articles concerning Drahthaars, and recommended methods for the training and care of a versatile dog. The cost is $20.00 to cover the cost of handling and postage.
