SPORT

Canicross

It is a sport where a runner and a dog are connected by a harness and a running belt with a 2m long shock cord, which is attached firmly at one end to the belt and at the other end, with a special carabiner to the dog's harness. It is always a runner with one dog. Nowadays, a number of canicrosus races are organized all over the world. The difficulty of the races varies, and all enthusiasts, whether they are beginners, advanced or professional canicrossers, choose their own. The routes are divided into sprint up to 5km, mid up to 10km and long up to 10km. We discovered our passion for this sport in 2014, when we participated in several races during this season and even made it to the European Championships in 2016, held in Nové Město na Moravě.

Scooter

It is a sport where a scooter rider is connected to one or two dogs using a harness and a shock-absorbing cord, 2.8 m long, which is attached firmly to the scooter at one end, threaded through a special eyelet on the scooter and the other end, a special carabiner to the dog's harness. Nowadays, a number of scooter races are organized all over the world. The difficulty of the races varies, all enthusiasts choose their own, whether they are beginners, advanced or professional scooter riders. The routes are of varying difficulty and length. The enthusiasm for this sport came with the purchase of our first professional scooter, in December 2016, the Doxtor brand, made to measure, to order.

Bikejöring

It is a sport where a cyclist is connected to a dog using a harness and a shock-absorbing cord, 2.8 m long, which is fixed at one end to the bike, threaded through a special eyelet on the bike and at the other end, a special carabiner to the dog's harness. Nowadays, a number of bikejöring competitions are held all over the world. The difficulty of the races varies, and all enthusiasts, whether beginners, advanced or professional bikers, choose their own. The routes are of varying difficulty and length. The enthusiasm for this sport came with the first start at the Iron Dog triathlon, which has been held annually for several years, which we won.

Coursing

Not only the Weimaraner, but the hound in general is born with innate hunting qualities. That is why the coursing discipline is so popular with them. It is a sport where a dog is released onto a starting track of varying lengths, either released alone as an individual or in a pair with its sparring partner. Before each start, a rope is stretched, which ends with a winch and after the dog(s) are released, it is wound from the start to the finish and begins with a tassel, where there is usually some real, for example, rabbit skin, which the dogs hunt and it is always a reward that the dog catches/catches at the end of the run. If there is a coursing track somewhere near your home and your dog finds pleasure in this sport, do not hesitate to try it together. All our dogs have tried coursing and they like it very much and, by the way, it is a wonderful activity to tire out your pet.
