I
am 41 years old and I have been
working with dogs for more than
20 years. In my first years as a
hunter I had a German Shorthaired
Pointer, but since I spent more
and more time going hunting, I
thought I was missing some
precision and passion for water.
Therefore I asked around in
hunting circles, to find out if
there were some good German Wirehaired
puppies on the way. It was
highly recommended to me to
contact Jens Velling’s Kennel
Hjortlund, and on the 28th of
March 1998 Hjortlund’s Zita was
born and my first wire-haired
was a reality and this was the
starting point for my time as “a
wire-haired kind of guy.”
I have been accepted into the register
of tracker dogs with Oscar,
Donna and Sara and besides that
I spent a great deal of my free
time hunting, going to test and
training the dogs.
I live with Gitte and the kids
Frederik and Christian and our
daughter Frida.
Luckily, Gitte is also crazy
about the wirehaired pointers,
so we share this time-consuming
hobby in as large a scale as
possible. Gitte once confessed
to me, that if there were 8 days
to a week – then she would train
8 days a week!
Union-wise I am the Wirehaired
Club’s main contact in the local area, I lead the test for the
Wirehaired Club’s tracker
trial and for the Hunting
Association’s continental Fall’s
Field test around Grindsted. |
