I have had dogs all my life, starting with working collies, that was my Mothers chosen breed, I did a bit of obedience with them and then purchased a Jack Russell Terrier. Twiki as she was called, went every were with me, and became a very efficient ratter around the farm, we bred a litter from her, my mum wanted to keep both pups, so it was a while before I acquired my first Weimaraner.

CH JOANSCROFT BASSOON BERTHA, Beth as she was affectionately known was given to me as a Birthday present, and was a true introduction to the breed! Beth gave me a hard time from day one. But she also gave me so much pleasure and enjoyment, as well as teaching me all I know about working, showing and living with Weimaraners, that she is still sadly missed in my life.

Beth was a true showgirl, and although not everyone's cup of tea, she did well in the show ring, never failing to impress on the move. She also tried her hand at obedience, working tests, agility and field trials, but it was working out on the shoots, that both Beth and myself enjoyed the most. Beth also proved to be an excellent brood bitch and loved being a mum, even her 'seven year old' puppies sat still to have a wash.

Beth is the foundation of the ANSONA Weimaraners, from her first litter she produced two CC winners, ANSONA BE FAIR and SH CH ANSONA CHARISMA. From her second litter she produced the famous SH CH / IRISH SH CH ANSONA PURDEY, along with IR SH CH ANSONA WINCHESTER AT ENRYB and IR SH CH ANSONA KREIGHOFF AT HUNTLY.

Beth and her offspring feature strongly in the pedigrees of all our dogs and help to keep the Weimaraner a true Duel Purpose Gundog.

the only Weimaraner bitch to win such an award,
