** BREE'S PUPPIES HAVE ARRIVED **
See photos on Bree's Page..



Raising a litter of puppies is definitely a labour of love and something
we don't enter into lightly.  We usually only breed a litter when we either
wish to keep a puppy for ourselves or if we have the demand for them,
therefore it is not unusual for our kennel to only breed a litter once every 2-3
years.  Our last litter was in June 2007 when Bree was born.

Our puppies are raised in our home, with Di & Chris sharing the puppy-raising
duties with both of us having extended time off work to care for the puppies.
One of us is always at home keeping an eye on things all the time. 
The whelping box is situated in our lounge-room, with Di & Chris taking turns of
sleeping on the couch in shifts
.
Our puppies are subjected to all the normal noises in a household,
  - i.e. television, radio, vacuum cleaner, motor mowers,
whipper snippers and general comings & goings of everyday life
in a household right from the moment they are born.

Both Di & Chris have been known to
catch a few Zzz'ss in the whelping box with the puppies (we have the
photographic evidence to prove it) !! 

(See Chris below at 5.30 am having some bonding time with
some of Bree & Oska's 11 beautiful babies..love the 'bed hair Chris' !!!)



We pride ourselves on ensuring that our puppies are usually 95% housetrained
and water-imprinted when they leave us to go to their new homes.



All puppies are vet-checked, vaccinated, regularly wormed, microchipped,
tattooed and registered with the VCA.  We have a comprehensive puppy
information folder available which will contain all the necessary
registration papers, vaccination and worming information, diet sheets and
so much more, with helpful tips on desexing, training, health problems
and enjoying life with your Weimaraner.  We also provide a year's complimentary
membership (Associate) to the Weimaraner Club of Victoria Inc.

All puppies leave with a large amount of food to which they
have been accustomed, in order to make the transition into their new
homes as smooth as possible.

We are of course, always available to contact at any time during
the course of the puppy's lifetime and we love to receive regular
updates and photos.  We still have previous puppy owners staying
in touch with us for 10-15 years and firm friendships have been formed,
all due to our common love of the Weimaraner.



Below is a collection of some
puppy photos and other photos taken over the years,
of our very first Weimaraners Zac (Greybeau Archilles
& Tara (Greylag Silva Warena) in 1980 & 1981,
our foundation bitch Callie - (Grauhund Hi Calypso), 
and our first litter in April 1983, right up until 
our most recent litter in June 2007 ~
