Puppy photos

We are often asked if Weimaraners and cats get along with each other...well I guess this photo of Coco (Ashlaren Ava The Aussie) and Possum the cat, both owned by Lauren St Clair of Scone NSW. does prove a point as these twp are inseparable mates. But it is wise not to introduce a cat to an older Weimaraner, but best if they are brought up together when the Weimaraner is a baby puppy.

Our puppies just love to explore and discover new things and they are given the supervised freedom of a rural and a stimulating environment at their first home at Ashlaren Park. Our aim is to assist in their social development from an early age so they are given every opportunity to experience the right start in life and become well adjusted and sociable Weimaraners in the future.

Weimaraner babies are born with stripes which disappear in a few days after birth.

Their eyes will open at around two weeks of age.

When the puppies are a few weeks old, they love to play on the grass with each other and pester their tolerant mother (Aust Ch Ashlaren Bronte)....

..and they love to explore new things and smell new smells!

...whilst the mother (Bronte) keeps a watchful eye over her healthy, playful babies...

Puppies love their food and manners are forgotten at dinner time! Our puppies are raised on Purina ProPlan Large Breed Puppy food and there is no need to add any supplements to this quality complete food.

Pups are like kids...you have to watch they don't get into mischief!

This puppy is getting ready to go to his new home as he is about 8 weeks old. Note his blue eyes and big ears! His eyes will gradually change to an amber colour as he grows and he will soon grow into those big ears and all that bone too!

After selecting the pup from the litter that we want to exhibit in the show ring, the hard work of training the pup to stand for examination and work on a lead then begins. This baby is only 6 weeks and she is from Am/Can/Aust Ch Davora Bremar Mark of Ashlaren ('Mark'), out of NZ Ch Ashlaren Cezanne ('Emmie'). She will begin her show career interstate when she is 3 months old.

This gorgeous puppy photo was sent to us by her proud new owner, Rebecca, who lives in Sydney. We love to receive updates and photos of the puppies from their new owners. Her pedigree name is Ashlaren Opal Cameo but her 'call name' is Bella Rose. Her father is Aust Ch Ashlaren Reuben and her mother is Grand Ch/NZ Ch Ashlaren Crepe Suzette!

Weimaraners don't take long to train, whether it is for the show ring or learning the house rules. This puppy learnt at 8 weeks of age that she had to lie on the mat and behave when inside, just like her mother.

Puppies are cuddly and Connor just can't resist giving this puppy a hug! We strongly advise new puppy owners to socialize your new puppy by introducing them to other people and children and taking them out and about with you after their final vaccinations.

Weimaraner mums are usually very tolerant of their pups - here's Katie sitting on Rhea!

Puppies need to be made part of family life from an early age. These youngsters are enjoying being with us in our family room and are 'trying' to be good! They love toys to play with, so make sure you purchase some play things for your new puppy.

'You called my name! That's me!' Weimaraners learn things very quickly so that is why we strongly recommend puppy Pre School and then later on, enroll your Weimaraner in a local Dog Obedience Club. Remember, a well behaved dog is a joy to live with!
