    Touchstone Weimaraners Breeding Philosophy

    Touchstone Weimaraners are bred to be natural bird dogs. Excellent health, temperament and hunting ability are the touchstones of my ideal Weimaraner and my primary considerations when breeding. I believe that these three essential qualities, bred carefully and with the consideration they truly deserve, also make the Weimaraner an exceptional household companion that excels in any job given to them.

    Work ethic, willingness to please, intelligence, water love, working conformation and other attributes that complement the primary aims are also important to my breeding program. Most of all, I hope to produce dogs that will spend many days afield with you.

    I do not breed to the current Weimaraner standard which disqualifies a “distinctly blue or black coat.” I breed both Grays and Blues and feel that color is a far less important consideration than the maintenance of this breed as a hunting dog and loving companion in the home.

    "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."
