We started showing Sally at the age of 6 months We are a small kennel who believes in
my daughter Maxine loved to show her in the producing quality dogs with good temperaments.
Junior handling classes and I would show her in
the breed classes. I have shown and bred weimaraner with some
success since 1985 making up several Show
Champions both in the UK, Ireland and the
Netherlands along the way.

At the age of 2 Sally became a Show Champion Nl Sh Ch Sireva Fizz into Coastedge WW02
All though I did not know it at the time Sally was
my introduction to hunting, when walking her in
the countryside Sally was a natural hunting dog
she would quarter the ground, find and point
game at will.
With Sally’s ability I became very interested
in what she was doing, so I joined the Norfolk
& Suffolk Hunt Point Retrieve Field Trial Club,
(HPR) this gave a whole new meaning for me of
a man and his dog!
With one to one and group training I was able
to put into practice what we had learnt. So over
the years with different dogs that I have bred or
bought in I have participated in Field Trials and
Gundog Working Tests with much enjoyment.
