Anya did it again!!!!!!! Over the water in Ireland, Anya went
Green Star, CACIB, and then BOB at Fermoy Canine Clubs All Breeds
International Championship Show. The judge was Ms. M Dekaristou, of
Greece. She gave each
dog a verbal critique, as she was judging, and her comments included
'beautiful front angles, the best so far, great rear angulation, good
topline, beautiful head and forechest'. Again given the quality of the Weimaraners present, we are very
very proud of Anya. Thats 3 CACIBs from 3 CACIB shows in Ireland, what
a result.

We are now Kennel Club Accredited Breeders of

details of the scheme are available here HERE.
22/03/2008 Duncan
and Anya went on a trip over the water to Ireland. Finnish judge, Ms S
Bister, gave Anya her best day so far, when she awarded her Green Star,
CACIB, and BOB, at the Easter Classic, Combined Canine Club
International All Breed Championship Show. Praising Anya highly for her
structure and substance, the judge was very enthusiastic about her.
Anya has been to Ireland 2 times now, each time winning the Green Star,
and CACIB under International judges. This is Anyas first BOB, and
given the dogs that were present , we are very proud of her. This
confirms again that under International judges, Anya can and does prove
herself. It may make things a little slower to achieve, but rest
assured that this proves that Anya is a quality bitch of worldwide
standard. So far the International Judges who appreciated Anya have
been from the following countries : FINLAND (X2), ITALY, AUSTRALIA,
GERMANY, IRELAND, AMERICA, ISRAEL, SWITZERLAND.
We are so proud of our girl.

Anya is placed 2/13 in a very strong Limit class at the North of
England Weimaraner Society breed show under Australian judge Carol
Wright (Grauhund Kennels). This gives her a qualification for Crufts
2008! In all there were 186 Weimaraners entered, so this was a
fantastic achievement for Anya. It is great for us to do this at an
English show, and we are especially proud of Anya's placing today.
31/03/07 Anya gets CACL and Res CACIB at Luxembourg under German judge
Peter Beyersdorf. This completes her LUXEMBOURG CHAMPION
title!!!! Even better to do it under a judge from the homeland of the Weimaraner, a real privelege. Anya was 1/4 with an excellent mark, and there were 26 Weims
at Luxembourg show. We are so happy, so proud to own Anya and so
grateful to her
breeders for allowing us to have her, and of course to the
international judges who just keep on placing her. She is one of a
fantastic litter, and boy are we so lucky with her. Only once in her European shows has she come home without at least a RCACIB, long may this be so!!!!
01/03/2007
Anyas hipscore arrived today. She has a total hipscore of 7, comprising
of 6:1. This is great news for us. The breed average in the UK is 13.
02/03/2007 Anya
RCAC and RCACIB at Eindhoven Netherlands. The judge, Mrs Kay Creamer,
is from Ireland. "Very nice type, well balanced, good head, neck and
shoulders, very good topline, well angulated hindquarters, very good
legs and feet, moved well".
17/01/2007 Duncan, Anya and I set off to do a little training. We had been given a
pheasant from a dear friend, and we took it from the freezer. We went out, and
what we planned to do wasn't really working, because we were doing something
wrong - not Anyas fault, we just didn't train her right. However, we continued
on our walk, and we found a pond. Anya jumped right in it!!!!!! We couldn't
believe it, we encouraged her in again, and in all she swam at least 5 times
accross the pond and back, going from Duncan to me and back again. We were so
proud of our girl.
Then we took her and the pheasant home and let her have a little training
session encouraging her to hold the pheasant. Again she did what we asked!!!! It
helped that she had a little competition for the pheasant, but it is a great
start for Anya - we are very proud of our girl. THANKS AGAIN to Magda and Kriss
for this sweetheart xx
07/01/2007Anya goes Bloodtracking!!!We had the pleasure of doing a little bloodtrack with Marjolein when she came
to the UK, and ever since then we have tried to get the
things that we needed to continue doing it. Well thanks to some great friends
we managed to get the
blood, the deerfoot, and some idea of what to do....
Anya was fantastic!!!!! We are so proud of her. She tracks real fast,
and real sure, and she found all of the things we put down for her (in
fact she was so keen to carry on tracking, she wasn't interested even
in her chicken wing reward).We hope to continue tracking with Anya -
next on cold game!!
25/11/2006 Anya gets RCAC and RCACIB at the Amsterdam Winner Show under Finnish judge Mr H. Tast! "Excellent type, well balanced strong structure, very
