This website was initiated through a close collaboration between the UK’s two leading German Wirehaired Pointer / Deutsch Drahthaar breeders, Bareve and Kimmax. Despite being competitive rivals in the show ring and the field, we share a common passion for the betterment of the breed we have devoted our lives to.
The combined experience of Sharon Pinkerton (Bareve), Maxine McCullough and Peter McCullough (Kimmax) covers detailed knowledge of almost all aspects of owning, training and working the breed. In addition, Peter has unique first hand experience and knowledge of training and qualifying Deutsch Drahthaars under the German system (VDD).
This site has been built in the hope that it will help to form a place where people can drop in, learn about the breed and take advice on everything to do with working, showing or living with German Wirehaired Pointers or Deutsch Drahthaars.
