As you may know, the club creates a calendar every year to showcase members' dogs and collect funds for the club

The calendar pages can be viewed on our website at https://www.weimaraner.co.za/weimaraner-klub-calendar-2019-for-sale/

We have a limited amount of 2019 calendars still available, so act quickly to avoid disappointment. It is an ideal Christmas gift or gift to colleagues and business contacts

Cost is R120 per calendar. Calendars can be mailed to you if you live outside Pretoria but cost is R99 per package which holds up to 5 calendars. So you do not pay R99 for each calendar's shipping - we can send up to 5 calendars together for R99. People closer to or in Pretoria can arrange to have calendars picked up

To order contact Natasja on [email protected] or 081 568 0155

We were at the 2017 Shooting Ratings of the Weimaraner Klub of Gauteng yesterday. Congratulations to Steele, owned by Luke Compaan, for passing Novice Shooting Dog with a great point in the bird field. Unfortunately Gatsby did not pass Retriever Dog, he had a beautiful land retrieve but the damn duck and the reeds were too much on the water retrieve. We will try again next year...

Thank you to Tienie Minny for the photos
