"......To the general public we would like to say, the dog breeding and exhibiting world is devoted to the production of the healthiest puppies, in mind and body, that is possible , given the state of the art. And, the state of the art is progressing rapidly, with genetic testing for inherited defects already available, in some cases, and soon to be available in others... There are also people who produce puppies who are not "BREEDERS AND EXHIBITORS"...Uncaring puppy mill operators who sell to pet stores, and careless back yard breeders do not qualify as true DOG BREEDERS. When people are bred as carefully as we breed our dogs, human kind will have made progress, indeed!" ... Quoted from http://www.showdogsupersite.com 

We are no longer breeding weimaraner puppies.   If you are interested in getting a puppy we encourage you to either check with weimaraner rescue or breeders who  are members of the WCA and their local Weimaraner Club  - and strictly abide by their code of ethics!  It is important to look for the sire and dam of the puppies to have OFA certification or Penn Hip Evaluation with ratings of Good or Excellent.  Look for  breeders who actively show or field trial their lines/dogs, socialized puppies, have  knowledge and good health guarantees. In addition expect responsible breeders to be nosy and ask you to complete a questionnaire. Responsible breeders care about where their puppies go.   Additional Questions you can ask: How long they have been breeding and how many champions they have bred from their lines. Even if you are only looking for a pet and not a show dog...this information will tell you if the breeder is truly dedicated to breeding to the standard. Ask how many litters a year they breed. Ask when the last time the female has been bred. Only in very rare cases should a female ever be bred back to back heats. Ask about WCA membership, but realize that does not ensure a responsible breeder. 

Responsible breeders are WCA members, but not all WCA members are responsible breeders!! Ask to see the mother, at minimum and pay special attention to her personality (but do keep in mind new mothers are likely to be protective and nervous about their puppies). Ask to see the health guarantee...and keep in mind that many genetic conditions do not show symptoms until after the puppy is a year old!  An additional thing to look for....we believe it is vital that all breeders no matter who they are...have in their contracts an agreement to take the puppy/dog back no matter what the age or condition or the dog. People when they buy a puppy have every intention of keeping the puppy throughout his lifetime. Unfortunately unforeseen circumstances happen (job loss, tragedies etc) which may lead to a dog needing to be placed elsewhere. Often these dogs end up in shelters and rescue. If all breeders would be responsible for the dogs they breed and take back and find new homes for these dogs, rescue and shelters would not see nearly as many dogs as they do today. Breeders MUST take responsibility!!! 

Look for breeders who treat their dogs as family members and pets!! Dogs are companion animals and are not live stock to be acquired and managed as a cash crop. Breeders who allow their dogs to live the majority of their lives in Kennels or dog runs do a HUGE disservice to those dogs. By buying puppies from these breeders you are contributing to the continuation of this type of life for these mommy and daddy dogs. Finally do not be swayed by the cute puppies, or a breeder who uses hard sell tactics. If something seems wrong...trust your instincts, take the time to do your homework on the breeder and any claims they make. Just because a breeder claims to "breed only the finest" or "only the best" etc...does not mean they actually do!!! I have seen breeders tell incredible lies to sell puppies. Ask to see proof...OFA certifications, championship papers, pedigrees etc! This is a puppy that will eventually grow into an adult dog...a dog that will hopefully be part of your family for a LONG time to come.
