Carlos at 8
months
Carlos is quite a
character and a bit of a handful.
Carlos, taken
March 2004. He is now 7 years old and is the sort of dog who can find
one sharp stone to stand on in a 50 acre field! He's always lame, is
a pain in the bum and I love him dearly (most of the time). Carlos
sired two litters. One of his daughters has a hip score of 0:0, a
perfect score and not too common.
Calbec Carranza
(Cody)
Cody is the
'butter wouldn't melt' type! Very quick and very clever, loves to
hunt deer and needs her mind and body exercised to keep her happy.
She's lovely to live with.

Sadly Echo was
diagnosed with Lymphoma in October and died in her sleep on 7
November 1999.
1998 was Echo's
year. Her first major success of the year was at the West of England
Ladies Kennel Society Championship show where she won her first Limit
class, went on to be awarded the Bitch Challenge Certificate, added
Best of Breed (from an entry of 170) and finished an amazing day by
being shortlisted to the final 6 in the Gundog Group.
A few weeks later
Echo was awarded a second Challenge Certificate by the President of
the Weimaraner Club of Great Britain and one month after that came
the crowning third at Windsor Championship Show.
Just to make sure,
she got a fourth at the Gundog Society of Wales Championship Show in
August.
This lovely young
bitch surpassed all our expectations, owning and showing her was a
real pleasure, she is deeply missed and my enthusiasm for showing
died with her.
Carrick, Inca and Duke
Duke died 2007
aged 16. We are now down to 6 cats!
Carrick (Hollieseast Eisen
Kreuz) enjoyed a retirement life in Scotland where he was loved and
cared for by my parents. They lost their much loved Border Collie and
for the first time ever were without a dog. Carrick filled the gap
and took my father for 2-3 hours a day out in the hills or by the
river, not bad at 14 years old, he even learned to swim in the loch
nearest home. The locals refered to them as 'Sir John and his
faithful hound'. Sadly, old age and liver problems caught up with
him and he passed away in summer 2008.
It worked out very well as
Carrick, who was epileptic, had constant companionship.
Here they are out and about,
there is limitless space for a well-trained and obedient dog.

On the summit of Waterside with the
Merrick(2764 ft) behind. It's such a chore to have to live with
this as my back garden!

Searching for game in rough below
Creaganfois. At least the dog seems to know where to look! I
trained Carrick to point and retrieve and he's a pleasure to
watch. You don't have to go shooting to train using the natural
instincts bred in to a dog.

Rescue
I have had 12 years experience
as a rescue co-ordinator and devote many hours helping to assist
people with behavioural problems to keep a dog or if all else fails
to finding new homes for dogs in need. As the popularity of the breed
increases the numbers being re-homed have increased too. Weimaraners
are not always the most sensible choice for a house pet. They require
time, sensible training and can rarely be left alone for long
periods. Breeders should offer lifelong support and ideally would
take back, or help with, a dog they have bred who comes to rescue.
Sadly this is often not the case.
Offering a second chance to a
dog can be very rewarding.
Fudge was re-homed last year.
He had lost his lifelong canine companion to gastric torsion, then
his family split up. Fudge started suffering from extreme separation
anxiety and could not be left alone at all. This is a common problem
in a breed which often craves company. I assessed Fudge and together
with his breeders who helped enormously, we decided to place him in a
home with experienced people who already had a young, well-adjusted
bitch. As you can see, it has worked out better than I could have
hoped as this photo was taken within a week of Fudge moving in!
