Gia Lischnitz
Dog breeder, trainer and behaviorist, judge, author

 

 

Gia was born to a hunter family and has been surrounded by dogs for all of her life.

 

Her grandfather was one of first owners of Weimaraners in Czechoslovakia.

 

He brought them from family relatives from Germany, where her family came from, in early fifties of last century. As a active hunter and forest manager he used his Weimaraners for active hunting.

 

He was also one of the establishing members of Weimaraner Club in Czechoslovakia. He was never in managing position of the Club because he was persecuted by its communist members regarding to his family background (Ashkenazi Jew coming from Germany).

 

The first ever book about Weimaraners written in Czech language was written by him.

 

He had and trained also German Shepherds and was the first ever owner of Malinois in Czechoslovakia, which he brought in 1968, 20 years before the official breeding in Czechoslovakia started.

 

Gia spend part of her childhood in Switzerland and in France. When she left for her studies abroad, she was not able to keep any dogs and breed, but she had a Great Dane in that time, who travel with her everywhere she gone. She was traveling a lot during her studies for modeling purposes.

 

When Gia married, with her husband came back to the Weimaraners. His family in Germany used to breed Weimaraners Longhair for many years. So the decision was very easy. They have both varieties and also have other hunting breeds Hungarian Vizslas, Slovakian Rough-haired Pointers, Bloodhounds and of course Malinois. Although they breed hunting dogs, they also keep Malinois for security and breed them as well. The litters are sold strictly for service purposes and to few private owners, which are chosen very carefully.

 

Lischnitz dogs are actively used for hunting cross Europe and sports. Some of them are also certified Rescue or Canis-therapy dogs. One of them, C.I.E., GCH, MultiCH Jetro Silver O.G. Avec Lischnitz, is certified and fully practicing Medical Alert Dog who saved Gia’s husband’s life in 2017 when having stroke. He is a legend in the breed with more than 300 offsprings living around the world. On dog shows they are always successful and have lot of titles and Championships.

 

They reside between London and Scotland and have also house in Shetland Islands. The house in Scotland is surrounded by great nature and is very close to the sea. All dogs are full family members. They live in the house, have free movement and free access to the garden. As other family members, they have own rooms with beds, sofas, toys…

 

All dogs are health tested, keep the standard of the breed, have several dog show titles and several working tests and trials.

 

Gia organizes summer training camps for owners of our puppies, where we train Obedience, Hunting works for dogs and also Training for Service Dogs. The camps are open also for other people, but just Dogs with fully recognized Pedigree are accepted (KC and FCI). Unfortunately this option was not possible in 2020 nor in 2021 because of Covid-19 pandemic, but during Summer 2022 we have some places still free. You can check TRAINING CAMPS page.

 

Gia also provides and organizes intensive Obedience trainings for dogs finished by exam (Levels I., II., III.), Hunting trainings for gun dogs and Bloodhounds (field, water and blood tracking) and also Service Dog Training including Medical Alert, Assistance and Rescue. For those trainings are the dog-students accommodated by us and return home fully trained and with exam, if applied.

 

Regarding to the Covid-19 pandemic, some Lischnitz dogs and puppies are used also for Covid-19 Alert intensive training and then provided as fully trained.

 

Transport of dogs cross Europe by car and worldwide by plane is possible as well.
