ASHLAREN WEIMARANERS

Quality produces quality. With over 40 years of breeding expertise.

Ashlaren Weimaraners is a small dedicated kennel selectively breeding for type and temperament.

Our Kennel was founded in 1983 by Lainie Knox and daughter Rachel Stock (nee Knox). Our first Weimaraner was bought primarily as a companion pet for the family, but we soon developed a keen interest in the show ring.

Our first litter produced Aust Ch Ashlaren Galena, one of only a handful of Weimaraners graded Excellent (in Australia and New Zealand) by German Breed Warden, Dr Werner Petrie, who judged Australia's first Weimaraner National in 1988 and also judged Weimaraners in NZ the same year. In 1991, Galena was mated to Ch Lindridge Wee Jasper and this mating produced Aust Ch Ashlaren Xavier who won Best Puppy in Show at the prestigious Sydney Royal in 1992. Xavier and his litter sister, Ch Ashlaren Air Jordan, a Best in Specialty Show winner, won numerous group and in show awards and consolidated our future breeding program.

What others are saying

  • "Our beautiful boy Oscar is just over 14 months old now. He really is the most gorgeous dog! He is now just over 30kg and looking very lean and athletic. He is always getting compliments when we are out walking about how elegant he is. At the dog park he is everyone's best friend, always friendly. I have never seen him lose his temper or get aggresive. He is such a mummy's boy :)"

    Candice from ACT

  • "Everyone who meets him become absolutely smitten and he enjoys meeting all sorts of new people. Again thankyou so much for my little Edward... He is really a sweetie pie, and he has adapted really really well. There is never a dull moment at my house with Edward around, thats for sure!"

    Stephanie from NSW

  • "It is lovely to watch Jed interact with everyone in the family... he has a special bond with us all but Ray (my husband) is definitely top dog in the house. We do a little bit of training with him everyday – he will sit and not touch his food until we give him the ok – we are really proud of him for this. He absolutely loves coming across other dogs when we are out walking and interacts really well with them. I know we are bias but we think he is the most handsome boy!'

  • "Ash is perfect in every way!'

    Brad from NSW

  • "We had a two year old boy over on Saturday, Allegra was amazing, dropped the rough play and just thrived on being patted, poked and prodded..... They are brilliant little animals...They are the stars of the park, they come when called, bounding across the park and sit at my feet. They are pretty good at leave and drop. Have not worked too much on the fetch but they are gradually leaning it from other dogs at the park."

    Rob & Elizabeth from NSW

  • "Max is a super dog!! We love him to bits!...he is wonderful with our little girl... she's 19 months now. They play together and I'm never worried. When he's had enough he goes and finds a quiet spot to sleep."

    Nicole from NSW

  • "Just a quick email to let you know that all is well with Macie. She has really fitted in perfectly with our routine and all of our animals. She is incredibly smart and so quick to learn. She walks beautifully on the lead, but if she's a bit tired, then she just sits down. This is to be expected at such a young age. I will take some photo's in a couple of weeks for you, so you can see how she is progressing. We just absolutely adore this puppy. Thankyou so much for trusting her into our care...."
