Evie loves having coffee in Hampton Street, playing in any park and doing Obedience at Bricker Reserve in Moorabbin. She also loves car rides and going to beach. Otherwise she will be found laying on the lounge suite or on the bed sound asleep.

Weimaraners are active dogs and not the dog for everyone. They are extremely intelligent and need a plenty of stimulation. It’s either you train them or they train you! They see themselves as part of the family and believe they are human. It’s like having a three year old in your house, they always want to know what you are up to and where you are going.
Evie is my 7 ½ year old versatile Weimaraner. She was recently awarded Top Performance Dog for Weimaraners at the 6th Australian Weimaraner National which was held at Skye, Victoria on the 12-14th May this year.
After a successful show career, Evie retired from the ring and took up dog sports. This has shown her true versatility as a gundog, but also her ability to learn different skills. She regularly competes in at least five disciplines during the year and often three different ones on any given weekend.
Over the last two and half years she has gained 16 titles in seven different disciplines of dog sports.
They are as follows:
Showing – Australian Champion
Obedience – Community Companion Dog, Companion Dog
Rally Obedience - Rally Novice, Rally Advanced, Rally Excellent, Rally Advanced Excellent x2
Tracking - Tracking Dog, Tracking Dog Excellent, Tracking Champion
Track and Search – Track and Search Dog, Track and Search Dog Excellent, Track and Search
Champion, Track and Search Grand Champion
Retrieving Ability Test for Gundogs – Novice Retrieving Ability
Endurance – Endurance Test
Evie is presently working on another three titles so hopefully she will have a few more before long.
Evie is a gentle, loving soul and a great companion. She gives 100% in every thing she undertakes and never disappoints Evie loves to go swimming and for runs in the park otherwise she is curled up on the couch snoozing away beside me.
