One of the breeds born out of the Revolutions of 1848 was the Deutsch Drahthaar, for years reviled in Germany as a bastard non-breed. It was Hermann Göring, an ardent hunter, who was responsible for the Drahthaar’s eventual popularity when he pronounced the breed, “Germany’s hunting dog.” But prior to that the dog was looked down on because Drahthaar breeders took as their motto: “Take the good where you find it; breed as you like, but be honest about it; let the results be your guide.” In other words, if you need to go outside your own creation to keep your creation viable, do so. Don’t close the gene pool. Were they right?
