I have both the Alpha 100 and a 200i. I needed the in reach to keep the wife more relaxed when I go out, we have a lot of dead spots for cell phones here. My biggest gripe is that the 200i is not onX compatible whereas the 100 is/was. Of course onX does not support chips any more so I guess it...
vaversatile, I currently have 2 Drahts (my first had passed at 14 years of age). I got my first Draht 20 years ago.
I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my ability. I've only owned females, never have they been stubborn or constantly disobedient in training. I actually find them...
I use my Drahts to track game for bow hunters and have received several calls to tracks lost pets.
I love the calls about a lost cat; they ask if the dogs would track it and I think "yep, but it won't be alive after they find it", LOL
Kind of mixed feelings, Dana Design were great packs but after being bought they just died out within a year or two. Hopefully it does not happen again with Mystery Ranch.
These bears have to go somewhere, Montana is over run with them and honestly we've run out of places to transplant trouble bears. They are out in the plains now. So I'm good with putting them in other states.
I go on about 8-10 elk tracks a year with my dogs and so far I've never went on track for a rifle elk but I did one rifle deer. I get close to 20 calls a year during bow season but I can't go on all of them. I did get a couple calls this year during rifle season to track but for what ever...
Tara the Teckel (wirehair dachshund) retrieving a duck. She's quite the swimmer and a decent retriever but will start plucking the birds if you dont get to her quickly. She is the real blood tracker in the house, she's recovered 2 elk and 2 deer so far.

Bianca (5 months) with her first sharptail. This was basically a blind retrieve for her, she did not see it fall and as I was getting ready to go look for the bird she showed up with it
probably my fav pic of her. I shot this sharptail grouse and I was getting ready to go look for it; the brush was way over her head no way she saw it fall 60 yards from her. Yet here she comes to me with the bird!
