Kimba is a spectacular bitch who is not only a beautiful mover but also stacks herself and is regularly handled by my daughter and others. Kimba is a big bitch, 24-24.5 inches at the shoulder; her littermate Phantom is a strong and long dog: 26.5 at shoulder but nearer 29 in length. To me they depict the standard of being obviously male and obviously female. It will be interesting to see what judges make of in my mind such an outstanding Weimaraner.

Kimba's AVA hipscore is 4.

Kimba's critique by Mr Marek Roszkiewicz (FCI Poland) at the 3rd Australian Weimaraner National 4-6 Nov 2005: Beautiful bitch, with a wonderful head, beautiful neck, excellent topline, fantastic front and back angulation, deep chest and excellent forechest. Excellent forechest. Graded Excellent. Placed 1st in Open Bitch, entry of 34.

In January 2006 Kimba went to New Zealand to stay with Cyd Welsh (Greyflyte) and was bred there to the beautiful "Rookie", Am/NZ Ch Tri-D's Greyflyte Grand Slam (Imp USA). Rookie has some of America's crème de la crème in his pedigree, himself being son of the spectacular "Ali" BIS/BISS Am Ch Tri-D's Grand Finale - USA Weimaraner of the Year 2002 and sired by "Vince", Am Ch Tri-D's Invincible NSD BROM.

Am/NZ Ch Tri-D's Greyflyte Grand Slam (Imp USA)

SEVEN (!) out of eight littermates from Rookie's litter obtained their American Champion titles, and Rookie also added the NZ title to his name in 3 weeks, a record! Rookie is a loving, gentle dog with a lovely temperament, outstanding conformation and healthy pedigree. Out of 2 litters in NZ he has produced some promising pups, some of which are making waves in the ring already. Rookie's Hip Score is 2:3=5.

Kimba x Rookie puppies were born on 14 March, 2006. We brought back the pick male, our new addition Greyflyte Thanx Grausturm, "Merlin"!

In the seven month at Greyflyte in NZ Kimba not only whelped her litter but also obtained her New Zealand Championship. Thank you Cyd for taking such good care of our girl!
