Good news also from Diane Brown in Victoria with her Oska daughter  - Bindi - winning BOB and MINOR IN GROUP! Congratulations everyone! 

It was a big weekend for Ashlaren Weimaraners with a BEST IN SHOW win at the Italian Weimaraner Specialty for the daughter of our great sire Oska - she is aptly named  Veni Vidi Vici aka 'Molla' - and the  photo (left) shows Molla's  outstanding headpiece.

Molla was bred by Piccoli Principi & Royal Weim's kennels ITALY, so big CONGRATULATIONS to our friends and Molla's  breeders -Max and Dario - from all the Ashlaren team in Australia on this huge win for such a young girl not even two years old! This win follows the recent award of GRAND AMERICAN CHAMPION for another well known girl sired by Oska and that is Imperium Star Ivette,  currently winning big time in the USA!

Meanwhile, in Victoria this weekend, Diane Brown of Silversheen Weimaraners, had a very successful weekend with her two Oska youngsters who are still in Minor :Puppy class - Spook and Bindi - on  notching up more challenge points towards their Aust Championship titles.

In Queensland, Amanda  Williamson's  (Ashbolt Weimaraners) young dog, Lucas, who has just turned 6 months, came home with 27 points after a very successful weekend of shows, with ,multi BOB wins, and multi Class in Group wins.! This young star is sired by our boy Mark, who is currently turning heads in Europe! I am sure there are lots more big wins for Lucas to come in the near future!

And for our team entered at well attended Dalwood Charity  Shows held in Sydney this weekend, our boy Carnmellis Bravo Ashlaren (IMP NZ) won BEST OF BREED and RUNNER UP BEST IN GUNDOG GROUP today at this big show, which was also a Weimaraner Club of NSW Point Score Show so there was a big entry of Weimaraners!

We also won Reserve Challenge Bitch with our Intermediate bitch, Ashlaren NYE Greetings Greta, whilst our new girl - Ashlaren Mark's Zaleta - who is also sired by Mark, won Minor in Gundog Group and went on to win another  BEST MINOR PUPPY IN SHOW!! This win followed hot on the heels of Zallie's Minor in Show win  at her previous show two week's ago.

What a weekend with Multi BISS Ch/Am Ch Ivette Imperium Star  gaining her AMERICAN GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP! Ivette is sired by our Multi Int Ch Ashlaren Caipiroska, ('OSKA') sire of multi Best in Show/Multi European Champions.

Madison has been an absolute joy for David, her handler and newcomer to dog showing, and has had an amazing journey of outstanding wins to her title. Madison won Reserve Challenge and Best Puppy in Show under Breed Specialist, Dana Massey at just 6 months at the NSW Weimaraner Club Specialty show and at just 12 months, won Junior in Show at the Australian Weimaraner National in May this year. David has handled Madison throughout the learning months and has done exceptionally well learning how to handle in the show ring with Madison! Great Work David!

Meanwhile, Madison's brother Bravo (Carnmellis Bravo Ashlaren IMP NZ) has been used at stud with three very promising litters on the ground already and other litters due in the next few weeks. His babies will  be hitting the show rings in South Australia and NSW in a few weeks, whilst his semen will soon be going to Europe.

...and another Puppy in Group win for Mark's son, Ashlaren Grishams Mark ('Casper') on the weekend for  newcomer, Wayne Sewell. Both Casper and Wayne have now got their act together and I am sure they will have a lot more fun in the show ring in the future!

Lucas and Amanda have achieved all these outstanding results in only 8 weeks of hitting the show ring!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Looks like Lucas has a great show career ahead of him! Meanwhile, we look forward to seeing Mark's European babies in the show rings around Europe soon!

Congratulations to David Hall with his lovely girl, CARNMELLIS JOVITA ASHLAREN (Imp NZ) ('Madison') who needs only 4 points to finish her Australian Championship title, having won Bitch Challenge at the Junior Kennel Club International Show (Weimaraner Club of NSW Point Score Show) held in Sydney today.

 Photo of Mark taken just before he left Australia when he was out hunting one morning in March 2010...Missing you Markie Boy!!  (kiss, kiss)

Well done Edwin and special thanks to Kristina who has done all the training with Mark in preparing him for the indoor show rings. Showing indoors  is something that Mark was not familiar with before he went to Europe.

 Go Mark! I hear Mark has quite a fan club over in Europe!!
