The Versatile Hunting Weimaraner can do it all

Picture
The Weimaraner is a loyal companion hunter. Above Wellie sits patiently awaiting his opportunity to retrieve a downed duck. Below he has the duck ready to deliver to hand.

To the left, Boomer brings in the chucker to Cliff. Pheasants, doves, quail, and the elusive chucker are all candidates for the Weimar retrieve.

The Weimaraner is all about teamwork. Willingness to work for you is key to success. The Weimaraner works to please those they serve.


NAVHDA and VHDF

OwyheeStar Weimaraners frequent hunt tests, where evaluation (and proving their hunt-potential) is primary to the process. Cliff has participated in three varied hunt venues.
  1. NAVHDA-North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association
  2. VHDF-Versatile Hunting Dog Federation
  3. AKC Hunt Tests*
NAVHDA and VHDF events are not the typical competition. Every participating versatile hunting dog can earn a prize or points. NAVHDA awards prizes based on a points system. VHDF awards points.

* Sponsored buy the local Britanny and German Shorthaired Pointer Clubs.

Rodney Behm and Molly

Rodney and Molly have been nearly perfect in their 2013 debut. It was Rodney's first attempt at handling a dog in a hunt test. Molly has been phenomenal.  Click the links below to read more about Molly and Rod's results...
  • VHDF Fall Hunt Test
  • NAHDA Fall Hunt Test
The vast majority of folks (and their Weimaraners) will never participate in a hunt test. Most go about the business of hunting (sometimes traveling long distances), but often taking advantage of local opportunities. For the most part, the Weimaraner is a family dog, that hunts when the opportunity presents. This doesn't mean they don't need trained. They do! Nevertheless, they are versatile hunters, that make great family members.

If you have a question regarding hunting with the Weimaraner, hunt tests, etc., please Email Cliff.
