Are their any in Australia? Edited January 15, 2010 by bigdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yes I've heard of them - but no we don't have any in Oz Check out the World Dog Show website and you get to see some very different breeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weibritty Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yep, have heard of both breeds too. I love the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer as it just looks like a wirehaired Weimaraner to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 No Griffons here. I think one breeder brought in some Slovakians but I'm not sure they did much with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monah Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yes I've heard of these. Very handsome. As far as I know, none in Aust. However, Italian Spinone are also a pointing breed (HPR) and have the French Griffons in their ancestry (although spins are a VERY old breed) ans they do retain the griffon 'look' in many ways A very similar looking dog to the Griffon and also a pointer is the Cesky Fousek and I know there are some in NZ!! who are really gorgeous and regularly hunt. You may find some pics and video of them if you do a search. Lovely lovely dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieW Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 And there's the German Wirehaired Pointer. They're not uncommon in Australia nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdogg Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 No Griffons here. :DI think one breeder brought in some Slovakians but I'm not sure they did much with them. Do you know who bought them in?? Id love to have a look at their dogs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHRP Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Greydove Kennels expressed intrerest in bringing the Slovakian Rough haired Pointer in I believe, but whether they actually reached Oz I don't know. Here's a link to their post about them on DOL http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?s=&a...st&p=118155 Edited January 17, 2010 by FHRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigdogg Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Greydove does not have any SRHP I only talked to the husband and he had never heard of them? although he did say he was the silent partner Edited January 17, 2010 by bigdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabrador Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The German Wirehaired Pointer looks very similar (actually I think it's a better looking dog). If you want that type of dog they are available in Australia. http://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/commun...red-pointer.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdogg Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yep, i think they are better looking than the griffon as well.. I think the slovakian rough haired pointer is awesome though.. Shame they aren't in the country, id get myself 1 or 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 bigdogg I love the SRHP too... Interesting fact they tried to get it registered as a wirehaired WEimaraner but the German club refused them... so they named it what it is named today. perhaps you could email Narelle at Greydove she would be the one to speak to regarding what happened with the Slovakian quest... I know it's a lot of time and money bringing in a new breed. I don't know of any in Australia either but i know a lot of people (mostly weim people) with an interest in them. We have a new Wirehaired Viz showing at the moment - baby puppy... just so adorable with his little mo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdogg Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I emailed them on the weekend - read the email(read receipt) but no reply I rang them this morning, Val was at work. The husband had never heard of them before? Has Narelle got a different email? Or just use the contact form on their website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm not sure bigdogg... sorry! I'd speak to Val or Narelle.... although if they got the breed approved for introduction but never went ahead with the imports then I doubt there'd be much they can tell you. You could try PMing greydove but i am not sure how often Narelle comes on DOL forums anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdogg Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Just an update guys - the SRHP is not in Australia, as advised by Greydove kennels. Ill just have to wait until someone else imports a few or i win lotto.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydove Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Just an update guys - the SRHP is not in Australia, as advised by Greydove kennels. Ill just have to wait until someone else imports a few or i win lotto.. At the time we enquired to import the 'physical' animal did not need to be in Australia. When we submitted to DogsNSW for the Slovakian to come in at the same time they changed the rules to say that the dog must be here....we were not about to spend the money on importing a new breed before recognised. Its a shame we could have got it going very very easily as we had the right connections and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monah Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I know a bracco breeder imported her dog and waited for recognition, thank goodness Lovely dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
