About Us

Our incredible journey into the world of gundogs and show dogs began many years ago when we first saw a beautiful grey dog running with his owner through Centennial Park in Sydney.

Upon seeing this dog, our love for the breed became evident and soon after this, our first Weimaraner was purchased from John and Rosemary Mayhew of Bromhund Kennels, Queensland. He was Bromhund Ziggy aka “Ziggy”. This boy  introduced us to the show circuit and was an outstanding dog both in his show and home life. In the 13 years that Ziggy was with us, he taught us many life lessons, some of which we will never forget. He certainly holds a very special place in our hearts and is the reason why our love for the Weimaraner still continues today.

Soon after the passing of Ziggy, we decided to put showing on hold, becoming busy with parental duties to two human children. With a busy household, our lives and beds were still shared by one or two grey ghosts and it was not long after our parental duties were over, that we decided to return to the show ring.

Our next Weimaraner was purchased and he was Aust Ch Bromhund Nirvana ETaka “Indy”. Indy a lovely dog with an outstanding temperament, now retired from showing, spends his days lying on the beach and swimming in the surf. He’s simply our shadow here at HiPoint, a dog that never leaves our side... we call him our "velcro" dog
.
A few years ago we become interested in another breed being attracted by their elegance and gentle disposition.

In 2004 we purchased our first pointer from Arista Kennels in NZ. He soon became Aust Ch Arista Shavon-True aka “Flynn” who, a very true to type black and white boy, has already made an incredible impact within the breed, making both us and his breeders very proud. This black and white boy surely stole our hearts and as they say, the rest is history.

It was not long after this that we purchased our second pointer from Helen McCready of Tukeglen Pointers in Queensland. He became Aust Ch Tukeglen QB Hind aka “Elliott”. Elliott fitted into our house like he had always been here, making us laugh with his many antics, labelling him the clown of the group. He too is performing well in the ring, being a consistent winner in group and in show.

In 2006, we then purchased our third pointer from Kathleen Andrews and Fiona Scott of Sgurr Pointers in NZ. He was named Sgurr Fly’n T’ A Mystic Point (Imp NZ) aka “Liam”. Liam is a stunning orange and white boy, already a class in group and class in show winner with a very promising future ahead of him.

Last but not at all least, our newest additions to our show team; Aust/Am Ch Solivia St Croix (Imp USA) aka “Charlie” andAm Ch Solivia's Sun Thru The Clouds (Imp USA) aka "Glamour"sent to us by Susan Thompson and Katey  Brown of Solivia Pointers USA.

Charlie an outstanding black and white dog, with flawless movement and beautiful head, has made a significant impact with the Australian show scene and of course the breed, by gaining his Australian title in a matter of weeks, taking out multiple Best in Show and Runner up Best in Show, Best in Groups and numerous Class in Shows  along the way. With a bright future ahead of him, we cannot wait to see what’s in store from him next.

Glamour a stunning orange and white girl, with her classic Pointer head,smooth outline,unparalleled soundness and movement is certain to leave an indelebile mark wherever she goes.
 
Our future certainly looks bright here at HiPoint with more kids yet to join our team.
