Twiggy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Twiggy
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Longhaired Weimaraner
Home: Wiltshire, Great Britain
 
   Twiggy, (Fursdon Twylyte Tramontano BH CDex UDex WDex TDex) is the most qualified Weimaraner in the UK. She has been the Weimaraner Association's Top Dog and Best All Round Longhair for two consecutive years and was the first Weimaraner in the UK to achieve the BH in Schutzhund. She has passed the Bronze, Silver and Gold Good Citizen's Test and is a registered PAT (Pets as Therapy) Dog, visiting a mentally handicapped lady once every fortnight.

    As well as her Working Trial qualifications Twiggy has also been placed in agility tests, a gundog test of work and the show ring, getting a 4th place at Crufts. In May she took part in Superdog 2004 which is a competition restricted to 10 dogs from the UK and consists of seventeen separate exercises taken from Working Trials, Agility and Obedience; again she is the first Weimaraner to have been selected to take part in this annual competition.

    Most important of all she is a great companion and foot warmer!
