WCNI Spring Field Fun Day 2025 (West Grounds)

Come on out and enjoy what your Weimaraners were bred to do!  Watch the excitement in your dogs eyes, as they run through the field in pure athletic fashion on a quest for that almighty bird scent.  You will be watching poetry in motion.  Once you encounter your first quintessential point you just might catch a thing called “bird dog fever.” So come out and enjoy the day!  Meet your fellow members, and make some new friends. Our club has a wealth of knowledgeable people all willing to share with you!

Please reach out with any questions you have!  This is a great opportunity to get your pup out and exposed to the fun of the field!
