About WCNI

The Weimaraner Club of Northern Illinois (WCNI) is affiliated with the Weimaraner Club of America (WCA) and has been in existence since 1960. WCNI members include people who work with their dogs in areas of competition, or simply enjoy their Weimaraner as a family pet.

The club offers a variety of AKC and WCA events throughout the year. Club sponsored AKC events include conformation specialty shows, agility trials, tracking tests, hunt tests, and field trials. WCA ratings tests for field ability are also part of the yearly calendar. These tests and shows provide an opportunity for owners to compete, share their interest in the breed as well as assist and learn about the events.

The club offers a wealth of information via newsletters, guest speakers at meetings, along with fun days where you can train your dog and enjoy the company of fellow Weim lovers.

The WCNI welcomes members from Illinois and its surrounding areas. Events and meetings are held at various locations giving everyone an opportunity to participate. Membership is open to individuals over 18 and families.
