After coming to terms with the loss of our 12 year old Weimaraner family member 2 months ago, We have now decided it's time to look for a new companion and would appreciate any help in trying to find a puppy bitch, She will be a Family pet and not for show or work.
Contact by email to: rssaphire@aol.com or steve.pegley@cnh com.
Many thanks
Steve.

Please contact the Weimaraner Association and/or the Weimaraner Club of Great Britain.
Members of both agree to abide by a code of ethics/conduct which protects the breed. IE they agree to not mate a bitch prior to two years of ag/after 7, not allow more than one litter every 12 months or 3/4 litters in the bitch's lifetime and agree to be responsible for rehoming should the need arise; these are applicable to stud dog owners too. Members agree only to breed from specimens that meet the KC standard both physically and temperamentally and from those that have a distinct hunting instinct.
Members are also encouraged to get their breeding stock hip scored (breed average 13).
There are many many dogs in rescue at the moment that have been generated by those who do not have the best interests of the breed at heart and raise "cash crops".
Remember, it costs just as much, if not more, to raise a poorly bred/raised pup as it does a quality one from a reputable breeder.
