The Deutsch Drahthaar and the vom Himmelbogen Family

Yes, vom Himmelbogen Deutsch Drahthaars are meant to be family dogs as well. This does not mean they are soft or something ‘has been lost’ within the breed.
A quick heads up that all dogs regardless of breed should be well trained, should be well socialized and both the dog and especially newcomers need to know how to greet.
The pup below, Jamie II vom Himmelbogen is now over with his new family in Poland. Wiktor and his partner are excellent trainers and breeders placing consistently at the Hegewald. We wish them all the best.
