Excellent health, temperament and hunting ability are the touchstones of our ideal Weimaraner and our primary considerations. We believe that these three essential qualities, bred carefully and with the consideration they truly deserve, also make the Weimaraner an exceptional household pet that excels in any job given to them. Conformation, intelligence, work ethic and other attributes that complement our primary aims are equally important to our breeding program.
Our dogs are hunting dogs, but they are also competed in various venues such as field trials, hunt tests and NAVHDA testing to help us assess our breeding stock. We do not, however, discount the differences in competitive events and real hunting, and most of all, we hope to produce dogs that will serve as hunting companions. Exceptional drive, good health, a stable mind, water love, willingness to please and intelligence are all characteristics we value in our dogs.
We breed to the 1944 standard, one of the earliest American standards which was modeled closely to the German standard. Of note, this standard was the only one to emphasize the importance of the Weimaraner as a hunting dog
It is not the purpose of the Weimaraner Club of America to sacrifice the basic hunting instincts of the breed to bench performance. The objective in breeding is the maintenance of those qualities which have made the Weimaraner outstanding as a hunting dog
