Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer Discussions

Action with Mishka, in the field
Eskababe XX

What a stunner! I never realised how substantial their tails were, and she looks like she's really using it! x

I once wrote to Michael, but never got a reply. I'm going to go to the funday in aughton on the 28th. There will be a number of slovak owners and breeders there. If Grey's leash walking is indicative of his urge to quarter? And how quick he learns other stuff I think he might be good in the field! LOL.

You should give him a go! Is the funday in Aughton Lancashire? Is it open to anyone or is it a members day (I had a quick search but couldn't find anything)?

It's listed on the breed club events page. Try contacting them via the contacts page for more info.

hi even if it is for members only,i dont think they would turn anybody who was interessted in the breed away when i notice where you lived i was going to say go along and have a look ros

hi lou, yes maggie is a puller and i do agree that it could be a quartering urge,as we have been long lining lately and when she get to a distance which allows her the freedom to start quarering the pulling stops their need to scent and hunt is so strong . we were very pleased with her today as we had are first water retrieve i was so pleased iwas going to video it but then i came to my senses and didnt want to bore you all well hope to see you on sunday i might be going on the train (oh arm and neck is still bad) so god knows where i'll end up ros and co

mse2ponder the is venue for the funday Autherthaws Farm ,Long Lane,Aughton, YO42 4PW, hope that helps ros

Hi Ros,

I'm so excited. About to meet Grey's brother, Gunner today. I really hope to see you next Sunday. I might have my sis with me so limited room in the car with Grey. Wouldn't advise introducing him and Maggie in a small car? Otherwise I can arrange to come pick you up from station if I leave Grey with Sis at the farm.

Piccies from Grey and Gunner meeting. Now 22 weeks old.

oh is lovely to see them together they seem quite even in size and build and they look if they going through that long tail stage i go a bit worried when maggs tail kept growing and growing. they both look like lovely boys and i bet you loved the two of them playing great stuff (more pics) ros

Grey is actually smaller, which is a first! He's smaller but chunkier round the middle (oops!). It was sooooo odd to see 2 slovaks together. Lab owners get that all the time. I've never seen one out and about. Will do next weekend though.
There are the rest of the picks on the flickr page, Ros.

just seen the other photos it looks as if they had a whale of a time and i think they need a bit of puppy fat it helps if they get sick and to build muscle, as for not seeing others it was like that for me when i got my frist weimaraners but now i wish i didnt see so many about so enjoy while it lasts ros

I do worry about a sudden surge with so few breeding stock around.
I think Gunner is more like his dad, Evar. Grey I would say is more like Clooney in looks. Perhaps even hairier which isn't necessarily the breed standard. Will have to see how hairy he becomes. Not that I'm bothered.

You decided yet re next weekend?
