We are a small kennel based in Shropshire, England and amongst our dogs we have some of the finest UK, Dutch and German bloodlines.
Since acquiring Fergus (Ch Kimmax No Kompromise For Klancraig) - our first GWP in 1999, three of the wires whom we have owned have gained their Show Champion titles (including a Top Puppy Award in 2003) and we have won awards at both Working Tests and Field Trials including a first at a Novice Working Test, the Guns Award at a Field Trial and a Show Gundog Working Certificate which led to us making up our first Full Champion.
Penny is formerly a member of the German Wirehaired Pointer Club Committee and Health Sub Group and a former Breed Rescue Co-ordinator.
Whilst we are committed to the ideal of the German Wirehaired Pointer being a 'dual purpose' gundog which can be shown and worked with an equal measure of success, first and foremost our dogs are all our companions and live-in with our family which is a true indication of their wonderful temperaments. They are 100% raw fed and minimally vaccinated and their health and wellbeing are paramount.
We are Kennel Club Accredited Breeders and all our breeding dogs and bitches are hip scored and DNA tested clear of vWD. As future DNA tests become available for conditions which affect our breed, we will test accordingly.

We are very fortunate to have owned 4 bitches from the Bareve Kennel. Of these the first two are CC and RCC winners, the third has become our first Show Champion (Nov 07) and now a Full Champion (Jan 08) and our fourth is now a Show Champion (July 09) at just 2 years old.

Our GWPs have been owner-handled to BOBs, CCs, RCCs and BP awards at Championship shows along with numerous Championship stake placings. We have won BIS, RBIS, BOS, BPIS and RBPIS awards at the GWPC breed shows.

Sashal is also the home of the FIRST Runner Up in a POTY year heat - Bareve Baloo for Sashal. Only two GWPs have achieved this award.

CHAMPION Bareve Bonnabee with Sashal has 4CCs, 1 BOB and 2RCCs. Just 2mths after achieving her show title and at her first attempt, Bonnabee went on to win her Show Gundog Working Certificate along with the guns award on Woodcock. She becomes a full Champion at just 3 years and 2 weeks old.

Our dogs combine what we consider to be the best dual purpose lines in the UK - combinations of British, German, Dutch and American lines. We are committed to maintaining the GWP as a dual purpose gundog and continuing the ethos of excellent type, temperament and working ability as achieved through the excellent breeding of our dogs.

Our dogs are hip scored and are genetically clear of vWD.

Help and advice always available

Wiggmansburg is a member of the Kennel Club Accredited Breeeders Scheme. This small select kennel specialises in German imports for all forms of work in the field,having produced both Field Trial and Crufts winners.The adults and puppies have natural ability, a steady temeperament, and attractive good looks. The kennel is situated in 100 acres of farmland which gives the youngsters plenty of scope when starting their training,whether pointing gamebirds, or swimming in the large lakes or working with the falcons.This is one of the longest established kennels in the UK which is known for it's quality offspring which can be found in many pedigrees past and present. Erle vom Alten Berg an import from Bavaria is an exceptional bitch in the field and has passed these qualities onto her puppies.She is currently worked with falcons and enjoys being out working on many different types of terrain. She is very easy going and yet quick to learn what is required of her in new surroundings.Again we have found that her puppies share this quality making them naturally easy to train and take on to the highest levels.Erle currently has a young litter of pups that have been carefully bred by a young up and coming sire. These pups are black and white and have all the trade marks of a litter designed to do a good days work.
