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 breeding commenced with our foundation bitch Aust Ch Ghostwind Lady Madonna CDX, who was sired by Aust Ch Ghostwind Claim to Fame, out of an imported American Longhair, Nani's Charmin of Ghostwind. Donna was trained to her CDX title by Rachel, and has passed on her superb temperament and brains to her Ashlaren progeny.

Currently in the show ring we are campaigning Aust Grand Ch/NZ Ch Ashlaren Crepe Suzette ("Suzie"), and her litter brother Aust/NZ Ch Ashlaren Mango Jelly ("Magnum"), and Suzie's daughter Ashlaren Sophie Sapphire ("Sophie"), and Greyflyte Queens Angeldust (AI) (Imp NZ), sired by our Oska and out of NZ Ch Ashlaren Queen of Hearts. We are lucky to be able to show Aust Ch Ashlaren Gerroa ("Austin") who is owned by Steve & Lisa Hawkes. Aust Ch Ashlaren Saba Jewel ("Jewel") and Ashlare Xahra (AI) ("Xahra") are shown by our friend and "Team Ashlaren" member Trish Miller. Suzie's son from her first litter Aust Ch, European Ch, Lux Ch, Fin Ch, Baltic Ch Ashlaren Caipiroska ("Oska") was being shown by us until he left for Poland in January 2006, where he has been living with Weimaraner Breeder Paulina Walkowska (Imperium Star Weimaraners) before returning to Australia in Spring 2008. We are ably assisted by Lainie's husband Warren and Rachel's husband Greg. Greg and Rachel's sons Connor & Hugo, and daughter Lauren will soon hit the junior handler ring - they started their training early, attending dog shows before they were a month old!
