Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Patsy Hollings, a farmer's daughter, grew up surrounded by animals, and was a keen horsewoman, riding competitively. She acquired her first show dog, an English Setter, in 1972, and that was the start of an amazing success story. In partnership with her husband Stephen, Patsy began breeding Weimaraners in 1976 under the Gunalt prefix, and since then they have bred a total of thirteen British Champions, as well as many others overseas. Patsy campaigned the first Weimaraner to win Best in Show at an All Breed Championship Show, and she has now bred a record five different Championship Group winners. In 1993 Patsy and Stephen were runners-up Top Breeder All Breeds in the UK, and in 1994 they won this coveted title. An international Championship Show judge, Patsy is qualified to award CCs in eight Gundog breeds, and she judges the Gundog Group at Championship level.

Aus dem Klappentext

The Essential Weimaraner The Weimaraner, a picture of grace, speed and stamina, is one of the most distinctive-looking of all breeds with its striking grey coat and light-coloured eyes. Bred in Continental Europe as a multi-purpose hunt, point, retrieve gundog, the Weimaraner has now been adopted worldwide as a effective and dependable working dog, a glamorous show dog, and a loyal family companion. The intelligent Weimaraner has also made its mark in Working Trials. In this highly comprehensive Book of the Breed, the author traces the origins of the Weimaraner and the development of the breed in different parts of the world. There is an in-depth analysis of the Breed Standard, plus useful tips on handling the Weimaraner in the show ring. Practical advice is given on choosing a puppy, training, feeding, and general care, moving on to the more specialized area of breeding and rearing a litter. The working Weimaraner is highlighted with contributions from leading Field Trial Kennels, giving invaluable information on training techniques.
