About 18-20 years ago, (I think!) a man whos name is (I think!) Bob Lynch came to me for help to get his Weimaraner, a big male dog, a field trial award. This dog had already won in the showring and at working tests. I did help him and he did get a trial award.
I have not seen or heard of this man for years, can any of you tell me if he is still on the go? I think he lived in S.W. Scotland.
I remember him Bill & you are right he was called Bob Lynch. I haven't heard about him for years but funily enough his name came up in a converssation I was having with a friend a few months back.
The dog was Ch Reeman Aruac CDex, UDex, WDex if I'm not mistaken? I think he may have lived around Strathclyde although I'm not good on Scottish geography. _________________ Claire Minstergate Weimaraners
After he'd got his CH. status with a trial place, he spotted me at Ingleston dog show, (I was slumming it! ) He grabbed a hold of me, he was a big bloke, introduced me rather lavishly to all his friends and then force fed me whisky - lots of it!!!
Somebody else had to drive my car and me home, to this day I don't know who did this!
Bob must be a fair age by now and I'd like to know how he's doing. When he first approached me I was very doubtful, but the man was good and so was the dog considering it was about 5 years old when I started it on game. I wonder how many present day Weimaraners have his blood in them?

I would have thought him a fair age too. He did have a big Weimaraner & in those days they were all big. A judge of the breed has said only recently, that she thinks the breed is getting too small - I would disagree with that statement.
The dog was used quite a bit as he was a longhair carrier and he was used a lot in Scotland rather than England. _________________ Claire Minstergate Weimaraners
To my mind he was not only a good looking dog, he was a good natured dog at a time when that could not be said of all the Weimaraners in this country. He was chok-a-blok with ability and was backed up by a good no-nonsense handler.
As I said earlier, Bob was a big fella, not many dogs would have wanted to argue with him!
I.M.O. this dog could have gone further in trials, as it was getting a 4th place first time out at a field trial is no mean achievement for either dog or handler.
The photograph shown of dog and handler, I have in the house. Bob sent it to me as a thankyou and something to remember him by.
I won't forget either man or dog.

I think that is such a wonderful thing to say Bill. _________________ Claire Minstergate Weimaraners
One of the girls (women) who works at our local animal rescue centre is very much into working trials and friendly with Bob and the last I heard he was still going strong. He used to live in Ayr - don't know if he still does.
I remember when he first got the dog (Reeman Aruac) he was a right handful, and Bobby had to put in a lot of hard work with him - and it certainly paid off.
Bill, p m me if you want me to try and get more info as I see the woman quite often in the village and might be able to put you back in touch.
