The aim of the klub is to maintain and improve the quality of Weimaraners in South Africa by judicious breeding, tattooing of klub litters and issuing of klub pedigrees. To this effect a Breeding Committee evaluates dogs before they are used for breeding, all prospective klub matings should be approved by this committee. Since the klub’s inception members were encouraged to have their dogs x-rayed for hip dysplasia, with only HD free dogs or Grade I to an HD free partner being passed for breeding, and since January 1992, all Weimaraners are expected to comply with these regulations before a litter can be registered.
Klub members are encouraged to show their dogs at KUSA shows, and we also host our own Open and Championship show in February and August respectively
Also, since a Weimaraner is first off a working dog, the Klub hosts an annual Shooting Ratings test in June, with training sessions in the two months before that. Klub members, and indeed all interested Weimaraner owners are welcome to bring their dogs for training on the training Sundays, and also so the dogs can be tested for Retriever and Shooting ability at the Shooting Ratings
Zingela the Weimaraner sniffs out Panjo
Last modified on 2010-07-30 08:49:39 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
The recent search for an escaped tiger near Bronkhorstspruit in South Africa came to a happy end when Panjo the escaped tiger was found by a team of searchers. A leading role in the search was played by a trained Weimaraner called Zingela, handled by Conrad de Rosner. Zingela is specially trained to track predators, and was therefore invaluable in finding Panjo safely

Feedback on a Happy Orphan
Hello Linda and Chrystelle,
Jim and I are happy to confirm that Orphan now “Shadow” has settled in very well, is highly intelligent and overflows with energy and affection for all the dogs and humans on the farm.
She enjoys hunting for mice with the Yorkshire Terrier and has given our Max (10yr old Weimie) a new lease in life. This is just another confirmation why Weimie’s are such amazing dogs !
Thank you Chrystelle, and your mum for helping us find such an adorable little girl.
Thank you Linda at the Weimaraner Klub for all the hard work you guys do for the Weimies in our country.
Kind regards,
Penny and Jim Uys
