Originating in Germany, the Weimaraner, also referred to as
the "grey ghost", is known for its unique
and striking appearance. Their devotion to their owners
along with their hunting ability sets them apart from other
breeds. They are a high energy dog and in need of constant
exercise and stimulation to keep them happy. Human
interaction is of the utmost importance. Their ability and
desire to learn new things is uncanny. It is the
responsibility of the dog owner to make sure he/she has
enough time and energy to devote to this breed.
About Us
We are located just south of Erie, PA, centrally
located in between Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo. All
of my Weims are home raised with access to outdoor exercise
areas. My dogs have been trained on bird hunting and have
shown good ability in doing so. They are full of energy and
tenacity in the field. However, in the home, they are very
docile and loving pets. The adult dogs have been checked
for and cleared of hip dysplasia. All dogs are registered
with the AKC.
Puppies are kept in the home with
their mother until around the age of four weeks. They
are then transferred to an outbuilding with a large
outdoor play area. The puppies receive ample human
interaction with adults as well as children. At two to
three days of age, the puppies dewclaws are removed
and their tails are docked. At six weeks of age, the
puppies are checked by a veterinarian, weighed and
given their initial shots. At eight weeks of age, the
puppies are ready to go to their new families. My main
goal is to raise healthy puppies with good
temperaments and to assure they all find good homes.
Rescue Dogs
Unfortunately, many Weimaraners end up
in rescue organizations. Usually the case being the new
owner did not have the time or did not know what he/she was
getting into. If you feel maybe an older dog would fit into
your needs, there are many rescued Weimaraners available for adoption that would make
great pets.
