Welcome to the official website of the Weimaraner Klub of Gauteng, the only KUSA-affiliated Weimaraner club in South Africa  (And yes the K in Klub is intentional – the name of the club was derived from that of the German club)

The aim of the klub is to maintain and improve the quality of Weimaraners in South Africa by expecting Klub registered breeders to comply with a Code of Ethics set by the Klub. Since the klub’s inception members were encouraged to have their dogs x-rayed for hip dysplasia.

The rules for hip dysplasia state that:

1. Dogs/bitches with a Grading of A1, A2, B1 can be bred to dogs/bitches with the same grading or that of B2, C1, C2.
2. Dogs/bitches with a grading of B2, C1, C2 may only be mated to dogs/bitches with a grading of A1, A2, B1

Since January 1992, all Weimaraners are expected to comply with these regulations before a litter can be registered at Kusa.

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.

Beware of puppy scams

Last modified on 2017-04-24 10:43:06 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

As always there are scammers in every industry but someone has brought a puppy scam to our attention, which involves the sale of Weimaraner puppies.

Please be careful when researching breeders – always ask the club if you are not sure of a breeder that contacts you. Reputable breeders will not send you spam to sell their puppies – most of us already have puppy lists with people waiting for puppies and the club’s puppy list is also shared with club breeders. And if it seems too good to be true, it normally is

KUSA now the only legal Canine Breeder’s Society and Registering Authority in South Africa

Last modified on 2017-02-07 16:11:36 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

Following lengthy negotiations with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), we are delighted to announce that the Kennel Union of Southern Africa (KUSA) has now been registered by the DAFF as a Breeders’ Society and as a Registering Authority for 218 dog breeds. This is with immediate effect and constitutes the final step in KUSA’s stated objective to comply, as required, with the provisions of the Animal Improvement Act, No. 62 of 1998 (“the Act”), of which the DAFF is the custodian.

This affirmation by the South African Government of KUSA’s authoritative position in South African canine affairs has far-reaching implications for our organisation, inter alia:

• Section 11(1)(b) of the Act excludes the registration of more than one Breeders’ Society for any animal of a specified breed. KUSA is therefore the only Breeders’ Society registered in terms of the Act for any of the 218 breeds it had applied for.
• Similarly, Section 11(2)(a) of the Act prohibits the registration of more than one Registering Authority for any breed of animal, which means that KUSA is the only Registering Authority for the 218 breeds in question.

In his letter to the Acting Chairman of Fedco confirming the above, the Registrar: Animal Improvement, Mr MJ Mamabolo, concludes: “I take this opportunity of welcoming KUSA under the authority of the South African Animal Improvement Act, and look forward to a successful ongoing partnership.”

I trust that the membership of KUSA will join me in celebrating this critically important milestone in KUSA’s 125-year history.

Kind regards,

CJL Griffith
Acting Chairman: Federal Council of KUSA

Longhair / Shorthairs to show seperately

Last modified on 2015-08-16 16:36:35 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

At the recent FEDCO meeting held in June, it was decided to accept the request from the Weimaraner Klub of Gauteng that the Longhair and Shorthair varieties be split in the showring. Longhairs and shorthairs will therefore be judged seperately at shows starting from 1 January 2016. Along with this decision came a few clauses, added by KUSA, aimed at protecting the breed and regulating the identification of dogs with the Longhair gene as well as Longhairs. Interbreeding of Long and Shorthair dogs will also now be regulated, but the Weimaraner Klub of Gauteng will need to set the rules by which this is regulated and supply these to KUSA for general use

For this purpose, the Committee will form a Subcommittee tasked with setting the boundaries for interbreeding. The Subcommittee will consist of Committee members as well as a representative from the Longhair breeders/enthusiasts

Thank you for all that people that were involved with getting the request passed by DOGSPC and KUSA, in particular Hendrik Vorster who submitted the request at the Weimaraner Klub of Gauteng AGM in 2014, as well as the Longhair breeders/enthusiasts that put together a motivation document and our Chairman for his part in motivating it at DOGSPC and with other people involved at the FEDCO meeting

The extract from the FEDCO minutes:

4.4.4 Weimaraner (Fedco 12-14, Item 4.4.3)

Proposal by DOGSPC deferred from December meeting:

“At Weimaraner Club AGM on 26 March, the meeting discussed a proposal to have the judging of the Short-haired and Long-haired varieties of the Weimaraner breed separated at all breeds shows under the jurisdiction of the KUSA

There would thus be two sets of CCs available for the breed. However, the same breed standard will apply for both varieties.

Motivation:

The Weimaraner breed is judged in South Africa to the FCI Standard.
All FCI countries separate the two varieties, as does Australia.
We would like to follow the example of the German Shepherds which were recently split into Long Hair and Short Hair varieties in South Africa and are now judged separately.”

Further input from Weimaraner Club awaited. Further information will be tabled once available.

After discussion the following was approved unanimously:

The proposal to split the breed into Long-haired and Short-haired varieties was accepted.
Separate CCs will be issued.
Inter-variety mating will be permitted, subject to advance permission being obtained from Exco.
Weimaraner Club to set parameters for such permission to be granted by Exco.
Provision to be made for re-classification of recessives for 20 years.
Provision to be made for certificate change from ‘Weimaraner’ to Long-haired or Short-haired
(Evaluation Form to be completed by two Senior Judges.)
Amendment to Schedule 2, Appendix A (list of breeds).

Proposed CI, seconded JH
Effective 01.01.2016

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
