Anya was bred by Krzysztof Szwarc and Magda Osinska, Fala Love'a Kennels, in Poland. She is from their first litter (and oh my what a litter!). She is a very elegant, substantial bitch with a beautiful head and a very happy nature. We 'found' her litter and thought that we would book a puppy from the next litter out of 'Nasti' , but fate took a hand, and Anya, who was thought to have been booked, was available. Without much thought to the logistics of bringing a puppy in from Poland, we immediately booked her!
As the pet passport process took 9 months, and Anya was only 2 months old, we knew we had a long wait before she 'came home'. In the meantime Anya would be spoilt rotten by Magda's Mum, and Duncan was able to visit Anya twice thanks to Kriss' parents putting him up in their lovely home. Anya eventually joined us in November 2005. She settled into life with us and our son, Luke. They are the best of pals, and Anya takes everything Luke throws at her. If you ask Luke who is his best friend, he says 'Anya', and although she cannot speak, her adoration of him shines through.
Anya is the type of dog that people stop you in the street for. She has been praised by complete strangers for her nature, and most who meet her are smitten by her ways. Do not, however, be fooled. In this bitch lives the spirit of the true Weimaraner. Her relatives in Europe have all passed their hunting exams with fabulous scores, and her neices and nephews have gone to a good range of both show and/or working kennels all over the world.
Anya has been shown both on the Continent (Netherlands and Luxembourg), Ireland, and in the UK. She has a 2 BOB's at CACIB shows, 3 CACIB's, reserve CACIB's , 3 Green Stars (Irish CAC equivalent, 7 are needed now for Irish Champion), CAC's and reserve CAC's, from the shows she has attended to date. Anya has been placed at Championship shows in the UK, and has had a best puppy of breed, and best of breed at an open show. We always chose to show Anya under international judges where possible. This gave her the fairest of chances and judges from all over the world (including Germany) have regarded her highly.
All of this is very nice for us, but Anya is, of course, our pet. She lives at the heart of our home, where she belongs.
