Working

Our Mission

Wherever possible we prefer our dogs to live the life for which they were originally bred, but understand that this is an individual choice.  However, our basic ownership requirements are a provision of love, and a responsible respect for their genetic happiness and wellbeing.

Those silver grey, sleek, intelligent versatile and aloof gundogs originating from Weimar in Germany will always be our first love. The Weimaraner are the very ones who first aroused our interest in the working gundog going back to the early nineties. Being part of the HPR group, he hunts, points and retrieves game. He is a picture of stylish power and stamina with enormous ground cover.

Our introduction to the imports of the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer (Slovenský Hruborstý Stavac) was in complete contrast to the Weimaraner.  He is an amalgamation of the Weimaraner, the German Wirehaired Pointer and the European Ceskey Fousek.  These HPR’s are primarily an air scenting dog, but actually excel on tracking game. They are extremely clever users of their abilities and definitely not one to be underestimated.

Kennel Club Assured Breeders
