@Pointer, when you and Ryen were in the Hawkes Bay for one of the gun dog events there was a Weimaraner dog running. He was a very staunch looking dog and I understand he could hold his own.

yes,that was gary vize.they were from working bloodlines,(he actually went to germany and chose the bloodlines)and they arrived in auckland about 1972 or 73.i owned a granddaughter,the grandsire the german shorthaired male.she was a hard going dog and a great retreiver.gary took his dogs to queensland and i am unsure what happened to them.dave parker "gunmettle",bred with some of these german lines, gary did not let anyone else use his dog at stud.

Dave Parker is the one I remember. Thanks

People often refer to their "prowess" as a deer breed. As deerstalking requires the least amount of input from any dog to aid the hunt I am not surprised this is held up as an attribute they can readily attain. All facts considered, no serious hunter would consider one when stacked up against the better blood available for other breeds already in the country!

a bitch owned by rob gaastra has cleaned up at a few rough shooters in recent years and is the equal of any versatile breed in the country.
I have often asked him to put a german lined dog over her, it would be a start of a nice line of wei's in my opinion.
ryen also has his german wei here, she was a nice bitch too.
a few imports is all that stands in the way of turning the breed around.

on a side note I think I know that polish link, and it is a mix of show/work.

I concede it would be awesome to see a proper one, as opposed to the show ponies I have been exposed too.

Ryen left Snooka? I thought she was Lucy's anyway.
I wish I knew the name of the Wei dog I saw. He certainly looked the business.

While I don't specifically remember the dog running, I'd guess it was Rob Gaastra's as he was there
