Sometimes when you breed a litter you realise you've reached a goal. In 1999 I began breeding towards a goal to produce
outstanding shortcoats carrying longhair genes, hoping that I could produce longhairs that would be strong competitors against
the top shortcoats in Australia.
My C litter produced 6 shortcoats, 3 carrying longhair genes. Three of the six became outstanding show dogs winning royals,
best in groups, in shows and Australian champions. Three were also great gundogs.
My D litter produced only 3 pups all carrying longhair gene as mum was a longhair and 2 were longhairs. Two of these became
Australian champions, 1 of which stayed with me.
My E litter produced 6 pups a mixture of 3 longhair and 3 carriers. Four are already titled,most with royal wins, 3 being
Aust champion and a fourth Ned Kamp and world winner in Europe.
My F litter - a repeat of E produced 5 pups. One is already titled and a royal winner, another 2 are on the way.
My G litter brought in a new import Am Aust ch Nani N Greydove Milenium bug and produced 8 pups all shortcoat and a couple
carrying longhair gene. Two of these are being shown, one is about to title and the other won best intermediate bitch at royal
melbourne 2003.
My H litter produced 4 pups. Two have show potential and it is hoped they will be shown in 2004
My I litter produced 11 pups all carriers. They are from a G and D litter mating and Phantom and Kimba are the result with
Storm and tim and Otto looking very exciting but whether the owners will show these remains to be seen.
Kimba is a big bitch 24 - 24.5 inches at the shoulder
Phantom is a strong and long dog: 26.5 at shoulder but nearer 29 in length. To me they depict the standard of being obviously
male and obviously female. It will be interesting to see what judges make of in my mind such an outstanding weimaraner.
My J litter produced 7 pups and 2 of the longhairs from this are in the ring both are titled and again an obvious male female
type of longhair.
