• Weimaraner

We got our first dog back in the early 1990's - a German Shepherd rescue called Tara. We took her to the local dog training club and eventually started going to local dog shows competing in obedience and the fun classes. We enjoyed it so much that we continued with the dog training and also rescued a crossbreed (Border Collie x GSD) from Battersea Dogs Home, called Damien.

One day, at a local show, Gillian saw her first long-haired weimaraner competing in the obedience competition and, after talking to the owner and her dog, was completely smitten. In 1999 Willow, our first long-haired weimaraner, joined our family.

We currently own Sapphire, her daughter Remy and her grand-daughter Phoebe (from France). Although we compete in the show-ring with them, they are first and foremost much loved family pets.

We have bred 3 long-hair litters in 2012, 2014 and 2017 and several of the puppies we have bred are active in several disciplines both in the UK and Europe � Agility, Canicross, Gundog Work, Hunting and Showing as well as being the family pet.

We are Kennel Club Assured Breeders/UKAS with 4 Breed Club Accolades.

All our dogs comply with the relevant KC Health Scheme for the breed (BVA-Hip Dysplasia Scheme) and we adhere to the Code of Conduct laid down by the 4 Weimaraner Breed Clubs.

Every year, when Valerie comes over with the boys from Holland, we try and get the 'puppies' together for a Whitecross Walk. The dogs thoroughly enjoy themselves and the humans enjoy a well-earned hot drink afterwards.

Remy at the end of the jetty at the WA Water Training Day. It was her first time in water and she thoroughly enjoyed herself but wasn't fully convinced to swim more than a few strokes. Unlike her mother who was so excited by the whole day (see the picture on Sapphire's page).

This picture was taken in our back-garden just after Phoebe's first birthday.
