My breeding philosophy focuses on producing healthy dogs, with good temperaments who are well rounded and able to enjoy a variety of activities. One of my favorite things about the breed is how versatile that they are. I feel very strongly in having all my breeding dogs fully health tested (links provided to their OFA pages on each dog's page), and I also enjoy participating in a variety of sports with my personal dogs. Our favourite sports are certainly field work, agility and scent detection.
I started showing Weimaraners in high school after being offered the opportunity to horse-back ride in exchange for barn chores. While there, I had the opportunity to become involved with the beautiful Weimaraner breed and start to learn about breeding and the purebred dog fancy.
I have been involved in the breed for around 20 years, and have recently made the transition into breeding my own dogs under the prefix Wynder (pronounced Win-der).
My first personally bred litter was produced from a bitch that was leased, a full sister to my male. Her name is CH Instar Victoria's Secret. I bred "Venus" as she is affectionately known, to "Cervelo", who is a multiple champion and grand champion, and also won the Canadian Weimaraner National Specialty in 2011 (BISS/BIS/BIF Can/Am GCH/ Int. CH RoseWin Anson's Cervelo). I did co-breed a few litters prior to that, but they were not raised in my home.
There was one "pick" female I retained to show, named "Vedder" (named after Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam) and her registered name is Wynder's Beneath the Waves. In only her third time in the ring, Vedder won Best Baby Puppy in Show, against a strong entry of over 35 other baby puppies! She has earned over 25 titles. I am continuing on my program with her daughter Mako who lives with me. I am a small scale breeder.
