Hotwyr Kennels was established in February 2001 with the purchase of Kimmax Kontessa "Harriet" from Kimmax Kennels in Merseyside England. Kimmax are well known for their hunting/conformation lines. Introduced to the breed through Sled Dog racing (Rae already owned 2 Siberian Huskies) we fell in love with the affectionate, biddable and clown-like personality of the wire. In an attempt to introduce more blood lines into NZ, in 2002, we purchased Korskote Xpress Klass "Russell" from Korskote Kennels and in early 2004 had the first Hotwyr litter.
We now have 9 wires living at home, "Harriet", "Russell", our SPCA rehouse "Maddy", Ch Hotwyr Charmed And Dangerous "Wyatt" , Ch Jagerrob Tarn of the Styx "Tana", Hotwyr Law and Order "Alex" & "Liz" NZ Ch Korskote Witch and Famous (imp Aust). Alex's brother "Hector" - Hotwyr Lawman - is also now back at Hotwyr.
In April 2009 we welcomed a truly special dog into our kennels. "Bolt" comes to us from our good friends Peter & Maxine @ Kimmax and is the 1st UK DD to arrive in Australasia, bringing with him some fantastic working bloodlines. He is the direct progeny of 2 highly rated Deutsch Drahthaar. He has sired two litters for us and has produced some stunning pups with excellent work ethics and conformation.
2010 - Hotwyr Australasia is born. We welcome Fiona Dempster (NSW) to the Hotwyr family along with Duey and their wires Piper, Bond & GSP Reyne.
2011 - saw more new blood coming into Hotwyr with the importing of a UK/Czech bred bitch (in conjunction with Fiona) and semen from a Dutch Dog. Plus the birth of our 1st Australian litter - Thanks Fiona you produced some super pups!
2012 - this year we will import another male GWP and also import into Australia some semen from Scandinavia.
This year we have also become the first GWP NZKC accredited breeders in NZ and also with Fiona the only Accredited GWP breeders in Australia!!
Breeders of truly versatile GWP's - we have wires hunting (ducks, tahr, deer), and have produced some top trialling, showing, obedience, agility and sled dog racing GWP's as well...
Our Siberians......
Sadly in June 2009 we lost our 1st dog - 2XBISS Ch Sharivar Meshik SDCh "Meshik" but still have his daughter Ch Osterrichi Alyeska Envy SDCh "Envy" - who we love dearly.
We also have a younger sibe Malay & NZ Ch Kiriay Double Oh Seven "Bond" who is currently in Indonesia. He is a double on the fabulous Am/Aust Ch Karnovanda's Gray Spirit "Casper" and is a typical siberian who thinks he is a wirehair!!
