Welcome to Hirsch Gundogs - Australia


Catherine has been involved with the German Wirehaired Pointer breed for over ten years. Aust. Gr. Ch. Korskote Stop N Stare 'Bronte' who is not only the youngest, but also the first and only solid liver Gr. Ch. and RUBIS Aust. Gr. Ch. Ostoja All Rapt Up 'Ollie'. Proving that GWP's are a truly versatile breed our dogs are worked as well.


Whilst in the USA Catherine attended several North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) hunt tests and a training day in both Pennsylvania and Virginia. She was extremely impressed with the hunting abilities of both GWP’s and DD’s.

Catherine has since been to the 2011 German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America (GWPCA) Nationials in Ionia, Michigan and the 2013 Nationls held in Lincoln, Nebraska. She also attended both the 2012 & 2013 SCOA Nationals at Rend Lake, Illinois.
