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

It is a sport where a scooter rider is connected to one or two dogs using a harness and a shock cord, 2.8 m long, which is firmly attached 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, there are many scooter races around the world. The difficulty of the races is different, all enthusiasts can choose their own, whether they are beginners, advanced or professional scooter riders. The routes are of varying difficulty and length. Enthusiasm for the sport came with the purchase of our first professional scooter, in December 2016, a Doxtor brand, made to measure, to order.

Enthusiasm for this sport came with the first start at the Železný pes races, a triathlon that has been held annually for several years, which we won.
Coursing
Not only the Weimaraner, but the hound in general is born with the innate qualities of a hunter. That is why the coursing discipline is so popular with them. It is a sport where the dog is released on a starting track of varying lengths, either 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 release of the dog(s), it is wound from the start to the finish line, starting with a tassel, where there is usually some real, for example, rabbit skin, which is hunted by the dogs, and it is always a reward that the dog will catch/catch at the end of the run. If there is a coursing track somewhere near where you live and your dog likes this sport, don't hesitate to try it together. All our dogs have tried coursing and they really like it, and by the way, it's a wonderful activity to tire your pet out.
