"Skye" is an exquisitely feminine bitch with sound conformation,
and a cheeky, friendly temperament.
She is also a brilliant gundog and works exceptionally well in the field
(see photos of Skye on our 'In The Field' page).
She is without doubt, one of the best bitches we have bred
(conformation-wise) over the years.
Skye is a Multi Class In Show winner (All Breeds & Specialty)
& gained her show title very easily at 13 months of age
against strong competition, at both city and country shows.
Skye was graded 'Excellent' at the
3rd Weimaraner National held in Victoria in 2005
Her sire is the very
well-performed Ch Silvasheen Capuccino Kid
(Graded 'V1' Excellent - 2nd Weimaraner National 2001)
and her dam is the beautiful
Ch Divani Apaches Star (AI) -
(Graded 'Excellent' at 3rd Weimaraner National in 2005,
& dam of 4 champions - all Graded Excellent).
SKYE IS A MUM !!!
After lots of heartache & many tears, we are thrilled
to announce that our special girl presented us with
2 lovely Boomer babies on 1st June 2007
via caesarean delivery.
On a sadder note, due to severe complications,
this is to be Skye's one and only litter,
which makes it even more special.
We would like to take this opportunity to
thank Dr. Ros Fleay of Chirnside Park
Veterinary Clinic for all her dedication,
determination and expertise in ensuring
the safe arrival of Skye's "miracle babies."
Also, a big "thank you" to all the caring staff
at the surgery for all their ongoing support and encouragement
during our numerous, monitoring visits to the surgery each week.
And last but not least, to Carol Wright of
Grauhund Kennels (owner of Boomer),
a huge thankyou for being so caring and
supportive over the entire time.
Yes, dreams do come true !
A very groggy Skye, with babies,
recovering from her C-Section....
It was a slow start to motherhood for Skye,
after waking up and wondering -
"Yikes !! What on earth are these
2 little squawking things ??"
But thankfully, the maternal instinct kicked in
during the early hours of the next morning
morning & she was a fabulous Mum to her kids.....
To this day, Skye still tries to do the "take over bid"
with her grandchildren and is a doting grandmother...
8 hours old....keeping warm after a traumatic
arrival into the world.....

Now that her role as a Mum has come to
a permanent halt, we are looking forward to
heading back out into the field with Skye very soon.
Skye will also make the occasional appearance in
the Veterans' Class over the next few years.
She is a very active girl, full of beans and on the go 24 hours
a day - always looking for something to do.
One of her favourite pastimes is stalking the birds in
the backyard. She is a very loyal, loving girl who
greets you with a cheeky smile and will snuggle
up to you for a belly tickle at the drop of a hat.
