Championship Show 2010 Entries

August 19, 2010 | Author admin

Our Championship Show will be held on 12 September this year, as usual at the Goldfields Kennel Club grounds in Bedfordview

This year we have a judge from the Netherlands officiating at the show, Mrs G Halff van Boven

Please, consider entering for the show this year. As always we need a minimum of 20 dogs entered and present for us to keep our Championship Show license. However we also need a very good entry for Mrs Halff van Boven. She judges extensively in Europe, where specialist breed clubs have entries from 150-800 dogs. We cannot let Weimaraners in South Africa down!

If you have never showed before, but want to enter, please let us know immediately on info@weimaraner.co.za or by phone on 082 750 3172 or (011) 979-5065. If there is enough interest the committee will hold training sessions.

Then we are also asking members for donations for prizes:

1. Items like caps, bags, T-shirts, etc
2. Adverts in our Catalogue
3. Small cash donations, which we can use to purchase more prizes if necessary.

Hoping to see the whole Club entered and present on 12 September 2010!

Zingela the Weimaraner sniffs out Panjo

July 29, 2010 | Author admin

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

See the following articles for details:
