J SeVCH Southpaw & OtterCreek Ray of Light – RAY
The latest addition to our family is a true ray of light, coming from US, Georgia, from breeders Brandon Sims Otter Creek Farm & Kennel and Meredith Wadsworth Southpaw Weimaraners . Ray is born on the 29th of April 2016. Already the first hunting season, from the age of 5 months, Ray was included in our hunting team and she has been doing great. She has shown very nice qualities as a promising young hunting dog, she has great speed and range, excellent nose, firm and precise point and she backs naturally. We hunt everything with Ray, she is a fantastic game finder, great retriever and handles wild boars very nicely.
In trials has Ray been rewarded with 1st prize both in youth and open class FT, 2x 2nd prize in elite class FT and won the Swedish Weimaraner Club annual Championship in retrieving 2017. 2018 she was chosen to the Swedish national team for 1st Eurocup for Weimaraners in Italy. She has also been awarded with 4th Excellent at international field trials in Poland. In spring 2020 she became Swedish blood tracking champion and in autumn she passed the Swedish versatile hunting test “Fullbruksprov” with honorable 2nd prize.
2023 Ray became one of the very few Weimaraners in Sweden to be awarded 1st prize in versatile hunting test, the most challenging test for allround hunting dogs.
Ray is the mother of our S- and H-litter, she has been rewarded with Swedish Weimaraner Club breeding prize GOLD twice – 11 of her 20 puppies are field trial merited, with one FT champion (Snaiper’s Sky), 5 blood tracking champions (Snaiper’s Sol, Supernova, Seger, Sky and Holiday), one show champion FI UCH (Snaiper’s Hannibal) and several club match champions both in bloodtracking (Snaiper’s Seger 2023), field trial (Snaiper’s Sky 2022, 2023) and retrieving tests (Snaiper’s Seger – Skånemästare 2023, Snaiper’s Sårk 2022, Snaiper’s Hannibal 2023), and Club Champions (Snaiper’s Sårk 2022, Snaiper’s Hannibal 2023).
