Our working groups & representatives

Within the IWK, working groups take on specific areas of responsibility. In each group, representatives of the member clubs work together on a particular topic – such as health, breeding, events, or international cooperation.

International cooperation and events

We promote exchange between the IWK member clubs, coordinate international events, and ensure up-to-date information on the clubs’ websites. Once a year, we organize a joint meeting of all representatives to strengthen cooperation and personal connections.

Representative

Ing. Miloslav Novak

Exchange on health and genetic topics

We connect breeding officers internationally in order to identify diseases and genetic risks at an early stage and to develop joint measures. The goal is a healthy breeding base, transparent communication, and, in the long term, a shared IWK database for breeding information.

Representative

Wim van Roessel

Cooperation in breeding & the FCI breed standard

We review how breeding advice and breeding selection are carried out in the individual countries and ensure compliance with the FCI breed standard. This also includes topics such as crossbreeding with other breeds and genetic identity verification.

Representative

Christoph Thilelemann

Working tests & shows

The Weimaraner is a working dog. We compare the testing and breeding requirements of the member clubs, promote international exchange, and work toward common standards for performance tests and breeding approvals.

Representative

Ratislav Bapaz

The issue of illegal breeding and circumvention breeding

We take a stand against illegal and non-standard breeding practices. Together with the member clubs, we develop strategies to combat such practices and strengthen responsible breeding standards.

Representative

Jürgen Donhauser Ph.D.

Development & membership growth

Our goal is a globally connected IWK with committed member clubs. We encourage the participation of new countries, actively support new members, and strengthen communication through the internet, social media, and modern data exchange systems.
