Portuguese Podengo Puppies for Sale, NSW

Wirehaired Slovakian Pointer (also known as the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer). Griseus is the first to own, and show a WSP in Sydney NSW. We begin to campaign Boris on the east coast from March 2022. A bit about the breed: Weimaraners are the foundation with a mix of rough coated breeds. The Slovak rough-haired pointer is a breed that originated in interbreeding. The foundation is the Weimaraner, from which the Slovak rough-haired pointer takes its colour and basic character traits. By crossing the Weimaraner with wire-haired breeds, in particular the Bohemian wire-haired pointing griffon a breed was created of colour and traits similar to those of the Weimaraner, but with a rough coat. Until 1973, such dogs were entered into the Slovak Stud Book under the breed name Rough-haired Weimaraner. From 1973 onwards, they have been registered as an independent breed and recognised as a FCI breed.

The Wirehaired Slovakian Pointer, aka Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer (SRHP), is an amalgamation of three breeds, the Czeskey Fousek, the Weimaraner and the German Wirehaired Pointer. Hunters wanted a dog that was biddable and did not range too far, with the emphasis for a particular aptitude for finding shot game, being reliable on a scent trail and retrieving. This lead to the development of the SRHP. The breed has a distinguished appearance, sturdily built but not cumbersome, with the body length exceeding height (Male 62-68cms (24.5 - 27 ins). Female 57-64cms (22.5 - 25 ins))and double coated. Base colour is grey of any shade, with or without contrasting grey patches. The gait is balanced and lively, ground covering, with good reach and drive. I have been involved with the 'Slovakians' for over 17 years beginning with Ansona Cleopatra - Asha, when living in the UK, who was the top Slovakian for three years. Asha produced a super litter with her son, Panoply Assured Gamble - Blue, winning at Championship Show level and the BBC filming Pippa and Blue at Crufts when the breed was first permitted entry in 2013. After emigrating to Australia, once the breed was recognised, I was fortunate enough to import another Slovakian, who is now Grand Champion Ansona into the Future (Imp UK) who was the top Slovakian for 2021 & 2022 with multiple Best in Group wins at Championship Show level. I hope to breed from Pippa in 2024

In 2018 Grausturm kennels imported the first Wirehaired Slovakian Pointer (also known as the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer. Zora is from the Danibull kennels in Slovakia and her mother and sister are top winning Slovakians in that country. We selected these kennels because they were bred for both showing and working and provided the phenotype and genotype that we were seeking. Slovakian's are similar to a wire haired Weimaraner - Weimaraners are the foundation with a mix of rough coated breeds including the German wire haired pointers, Cesky Fousec (Bohemian Wire-Haired Pointing Griffon) and Pudel Pointers. Zora has been campaigned in Tasmania and Melbourne Royal. This is an opportunity of a life time and we are so happy to have this breed in our lives. They are extremely keen to work and please their owners. We have already had some great tracking results with this girl in practice. She is a strong retriever and loves the water.
