LIVING IN THE HEART OF GIPPSLAND VICTORIA AUSTRALIA CLOSE TO THE WETLANDS AND THE MOUNTAINS MAKES IT IDEAL FOR A HUNTER AND HIS DOG TO HAVE SUCCESS.
WE HAVE USED WEIMARANERS IN THE FIELD FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE HUNTED MOST OF THE GAME THAT GIPPSLAND HAS ON OFFER.
IN THE PAST WE HAVE ONLY HAD MALE WEIMARANERS AND USED THEM FOR HUNTING AND AS PETS. WE NEVER BRED FROM THEM WHICH ON OUR BEHALF WAS A MISTAKE NOT TO KEEP SUCH GOOD HUNTING LINES GOING. AS A SHIFT WORKER I HAVE HAD TIME TO HUNT THE GAME THAT IS IN SEASON.
KAL
OUR FIRST MALE KAL CAME FROM THE R.S.P.C.A. HE WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD. AS HE CAME FROM THE POUND HE HAD NO PAPERS AND HAD BEEN DE-SEXED SO THERE WAS NO BREEDING FROM HIM ALTHOUGH THERE WERE PEOPLE KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR AND PHONING US UP WANTING TO BREED FROM HIM. HE TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT HUNTER AND WAS A GOOD ALL-ROUNDER PROVING TO BE EXCELLENT ON SAMBAR DEER AND DUCKS. WE HAD THE PLEASURE AND LOVE OF K AL FOR SIX YEARS UNTIL ONE DAY HE WENT TO A BETTER HUNTING GROUND.
ROY
A FEW YEARS LATER OUR OWN FAMILY HAD GROWN WITH THE ARRIVAL OF OUR FIRST BORN JACOB AND WHAT BETTER WAY FOR A BOY TO GROW UP THAN WITH THE LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP OF A DOG FOR A MATE, SO WE BOUGHT ROY.(ROYTON PARK SHULTZ ) HE TOO PROVED TO BE GOOD IN THE FIELD AND WE HAD PEOPLE WISHING HE WAS THEIRS OR WANTING A PUP . UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT TO BE AS WE LEFT OUR RUN TO LATE AND ONE EVENING ROY WAS FOUND WITH BLOAT AND THE VET COULD NOT SAVE HIM. OUR FAMILY WAS HEART BROKEN AT THE LOSS OF ROY. BOTH OUR SONS JACOB & LUKE WERE DEVASTATED .
BETH
FLYING-WEI TASCO
SOME YEARS LATER A HUNTING FRIEND MR WAYNE RANTALL WHO KNOWS I LOVE WEIMARANERS AND HUNTING AND HAS WEIMARANERS HIMSELF RANG ME ON CHRISTMAS DAY . HE ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE A BITCH PUP FROM HIS LITTER. KNOWING THAT BOTH PARENTS WERE EXCELLENT HUNTERS AND BEAUTIFUL LOOKING WEIMARANERS I SAID " I'D LOVE ONE." SO FROM THEN ON WE DECIDED THAT IF THIS BITCH BETH TURNED OUT TO BE AS GOOD AS KAL AND ROY WE WOULD BREED FROM HER . AT AN EARLY AGE SHE PROVED EVEN BETTER THAN WE HAD DREAMED OR HOPED . BEING EXCELLENT IN THE FIELD AND IN THE HOUSE WITH THE KIDS SO ON THE SIXTH OF AUGUST 2002 WE REGISTERED A KENNEL CALLED
GRAYSTALKER
THIS TIME WITH THE HELP OF SOME FRIENDS WE HAVE BRED FOR HEALTH,TEMPERAMENT,BIRD ABILITY & BEAUTY TO KEEP AN EXCELLENT BREED GOING SO THAT WE WILL NEVER AGAIN BE WITHOUT THE LOVE OF SUCH LOVELY DOGS.
GRAYSTALKER CALEDONIA
( BREE )
OUR FIRST LITTER OF EIGHT WHELPED ON THE 4-2-2004 WERE NAMED AFTER SOME OF THE RIVERS IN THE GIPPSLAND AREA.
BREE HAS A KEEN NOSE LIKE HER MOTHER BETH AND IS POINTING AND RETRIEVING QUAIL AT SIXTEEN WEEKS OLD. SHE HAS A KIND AND GENTLE NATURE AND LOVES WORKING IN THE FIELD AS MUCH AS PLAYING WITH THE KIDS OR HAVING HER BELLY RUBBED
