  • Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
    Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.

Seidler / Official language (DE). ORIGIN: Germany. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 19.03.2015. UTILIZATION: According to his hunting purpose as a versatile hunting dog, the Weimaraner must possess all the talents required of him, and be able to be used for all works in field, wood and water, in a performance oriented manner, before and after the shot. FCI-CLASSIFICATION: Group 7 Pointing Dogs. Section 1.1 Continental Pointing Dogs, Type “Braque”. With working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: There are numerous theories regarding the origin of the Weimaraner Pointing Dog. Only so much is certain: That the Weimaraner, which at that time still contained a great deal of liam hound blood (« Leithund ») was already kept at the Weimar court in the first third of the 19th century. In the middle of the 19th century, before pure breeding was started, breeding was mainly in the hands of professional hunters and gamekeepers in central Germany, mostly in the regions round Weimar and in Thuringia. As the days of the lima hounds passed, the dogs were crossed with the « Hühnerhund » and breeding was continued with this cross. From about 1890 on, the breed was produced according to a plan and regarded as suitable for registration in a stud book. Apart from the shorthaired Weimaraner, a longhaired variety occurred, if only singly, since the turn of the 20th century. Since being admitted to the studbook, the Weimaraner has been pure bred, remaining mostly free from crosses with any other breeds, in particular, Pointers.

  • HPR Field Trials: Along with the German Short Haired Pointer, The
    The Hunting Weimaraner: Weimaraner Field Trial Firsts: HPR Field Trials: Along with the German Short Haired Pointer, the Weimaraner has a long history in trialling in the UK. When the first Weimaraners were imported into the United Kingdom in 1952, there was no such thing as Field Trials for dogs which Hunt, Point and Retrieve. Weimaraners ran in Pointer & Setter trials in the 1950s. It wasn’t until the GSPC (in the 1960s) and the WCGB (1970s) began putting on field trials for HPRs, and in the shooting season, was the retrieving of shot game really tested at trials. Winning a first place in a Novice HPR Field Trial is generally accepted as qualifying a dog for Open Field Trials. However, as far as Open Trials are concerned, the clue is in the name – the trial is open to all dogs of sufficient standard, and in the assessment of whether a dog has achieved that standard, the fact that it has been placed first at a Novice trial (or first or second at an All-Aged trial) will simply gain the dog a preference in the draw for the Open trial, should there be in excess of 12 entries. There is no bar, other than the draw preference system, to any dog being entered into an Open Trial. What is certain is that in the modern era, a dog which has been placed first in a Novice field trial will not be permitted to enter further Novice trials. This was not always the case, as in the early decades of HPR field trialling dogs were only barred from further Novice field trials if they had won two Novice firsts.

It is our belief that as a breed club the more informed and educated our members are the brighter our future is as we all work together to develop the breed we love, the Deutsch- Drahthaar. Organizationally, we have long been focused on getting our JGHV testing ”right” so that our performance scores are consistent across the US. Accurate and consistent testing is foundational to making the critical initial comparative assessment of the multiple breeding factors. This has been a huge challenge but we are reaching that goal. Testing should only be a part of the analysis when making breeding decisions. Observation of hunting behavior of potential breeding dogs is equal to or possibly more significant in the overall assessment process.

It is difficult to identify strong individual breed signals in this mixed portion, so we have listed the genetic breed groups with the strongest statistical likelihood below. The breed groups are listed in order of strength with the most likely at the top of the list. Asian The Asian Group is comprised mainly of breeds from the Asian and Arctic regions of the world. Often bred for guarding or working they have been invaluable assets to man throughout the ages. Examples of breeds in the Asian group are: Alaskan Malamute, Chinese Shar-Pei, Chow Chow, Siberian Husky Herding The herding group is a diverse category. These highly intelligent breeds were developed to guard and control the movement of livestock. Examples of breeds in the Herding group are: Australian Cattle Dog, Border Collie, German Shepherd Dog, Great Pyrenees Hound The most common ancestral trait of this group is being used for hunting. Some use acute powers of scent to follow a trail while others demonstrate the gift of stamina as they run down a quarry. Beyond these two common traits, however, generalizations about hounds are hard to come by as the group is comprised of a very diverse lot of breeds.
