THE NORTH OF ENGLAND WEIMARANER SOCIETY (N.E.W.S.)
Patrons: The Earl & Countess
of Harewood
President: Mr S Hollings
Welcome to the Society's Web Site dedicated to the Weimaraner.
The North of England Weimaraner Society was founded in 1992.
The Society is dedicated to the Weimaraner as a pet, show
dog or working dog. Although our title includes the "North
of England" we invite member applications from anywhere
in the U.K and likewise overseas.
What is a WEIMARANER?
A medium size , grey short-coated dog (unless of course the
Long-haired variety) with light coloured eyes. The dog presents
a picture of power, stamina and balance. The hunting ability
of the breed is of paramount concern. The breed is fearless
yet friendly, protective, obedient and very alert and needs
plenty of stimulation and has a brain that needs to be occupied.
The Weimaraner is a multi-purpose Hunt, Point and Retrieve
gundog. This breed requires consistent treatment from sensible
owners. A lively, cheerful, affectionate animal that can be
stubborn. A very hardy breed with a good sense of smell and
a passionate worker. Also trained easily for the show ring
where he makes a handsome presence.
The correct colour of a Weimaraner is
grey or shades of. It is not blue. To read more about the
colour, please read the information on the Colour
page.

***Missing Dog***
ANGEL is a Champion German Shorthaired Pointer,
owned by Dawn Maw, a member of the North of England Weimaraner
Society.
ANGEL disappeared whilst on a walk at 7.45am
on 6 December 2012, near Barnsley. She has now been missing
for over 4 weeks and there is a nationwide search on-going
for her. It is believed to be probably the biggest dog-hunt
ever mounted in the UK and Ireland. There a reward of £3000
offered for her safe return. We believe she could now be
anywhere in the UK or Ireland or even in Europe.
Many of you may already be aware of ANGEL
and are already helping in the search for her, however,
whilst we have spread the word across the UK we still feel
there is more that we can do. PLEASE keep an eye out for
this lovely girl, we really need to get ANGEL home to her
owner. I am also aware that many of you are members of other
clubs/societies and will probably be getting a similar email
in duplicate, however, we would rather someone receives
this information several times than not at all.
I know ANGEL is a GSP but please, consider
how you would feel in the same situation, she is a successful
show dog and working dog, but above all that she is a much
loved family pet whose family is devastated by her disappearance,
I would hope that if I was in the same situation the dog
community would be doing the same to help me recover my
dog.
I have attached a poster and the press release
for ANGEL. I really hope you are able to assist in spreading
the word and getting ANGEL home soon.
Dog theft is on the increase; it could
happen to any of us.
