"Opera"

S. Aust. Ch. Grauhund New Man In Town (A.I)
D. Aust. Bromhund Ultra Sonic.
bred by Shayne Ramsay under the Trupoint Prefix
(in partnership with Mark Neilsen & Heidi Hartig)
Opera was purchased by us in 1992 from our good friend Shayne Ramsay. Her sire and dam were both prolific Best Exhibit in Show winners both at Specialty and All Breeds level. Her dam was Runner Up in Group and In Show at the Royal Adelaide Show. Opera's pedigree combined both of Australia's most well known Weimaraner kennels 'Bromhund- John & Rosemary Mayhew' and 'Grauhund - Carol Wright'. She was a very well balanced girl who also did well in the show ring.
She was a Best Exhibit in Show All Breeds winner at 11 months of age.
Opera was mated twice - the first time to Margaret Bennett's English dog. Aust.Ch. Domaset Opel Viscount and from this litter bred under our 'Jujondy' prefix we kept a male. This boy was kept more for his working ability than for his looks, as at 8 weeks of age he could mark the fall of game over 50 metres with pinpoint accuracy. This boy became our beautiful show dog also winning specialty CC's and Royal Adelaide and Royal Melbourne Show CC's - "Aust. Ch. Jujondy Crazy Horse - Indi" (he has his own section further down). John's brother Robert, also took a dog from this litter and this boy is still going well today at nearly 14 years of age.
Opera's second litter was to Gr.Ch. and Am. Ch. Divani Loads A Trouble, the pick of this litter went to our friend 'Kerry Lee' - a very pretty girl 'Aust. Ch. Silvahunter Summa Spryz' who died from cancer at about 5 years of age.
Opera was shown until she was about 8 years old and then after that only came out for veterans parades. Her soundness and balance was passed down through her bloodlines to her son 'Indi', and we can see evidence of this today in her great grandson 'Dual Ch.(T) Waldwiese Quintessential - Riggs'.
Opera lived a life of luxury as a couch potato until she passed away in 2005 at 12.5 years of age.
