Chris and I are keen shooters and enjoy spending a day in the field with our dogs.  We also competitively shoot clay targets and enjoy camping and sharing our lives with 
our beloved Weimaraners.  

It all began back in late 1979 when I decided to purchase a puppy for Chris, 
as a shooting companion in the field.  It was a toss up between either a GSP or a Weimaraner...well, the Wei won & I purchased 
"Zac" ~ Greybeau Archilles, 
from Ron & Lindy Palmer of Donvale.  
A year later, we added "Tara" ~ Greylag Silva Warena to our growing 
family & in 1983 we purchased a truly lovely bitch from Grauhund Kennels -  
"Callie" ~ Grauhund Hi Calypso. 
She was to be the true foundation for our kennel.



Fast forward to the present day, 12 litters, 2 Dual Champions, 
10 Show Champions, 3 CD titles, 3 CDX titles, 2 UD titles, 
 3 TD titles, 3 TDX titles, 2 Tracking Champions 
& 1 ET title later...  

It's not just the titled dogs we pay tribute to, but also to the puppies who have gone 
on to be much loved family pets and companions & also to the many friends 
we have made over the years, all due to our connection with the breed.  

We plan to continue honouring this beautiful breed and doing our utmost 
to produce dogs who conform as closely as possible to breed type and have 
friendly, biddable temperaments. We will also continue to focus on maintaining 
the inherent hunting ability our dogs possess and we will never lose sight of 
the fact that first & foremost, the Weimaraner is an all purpose hunting dog.
