PM Weimaraners - Montana Weimaraner Breeders

We have owned/trained and raised Weimaraners for approx. 17 plus years. We only raise one breed; the wonderful Weimaraner. Our family is very involved in hunting and competing our fur kids. This is a family affair for us and our dogs are involved with everything we do. Our puppies are socialized from the moment of conception. The mothers are in the house and around the family at all times. We believe socialization starts before birth and one of the main points of raising a well rounded hunting partner/family member. Health is also very important to us and our puppies come with a full health guarantee against genetic disorders. All parents are screened before breeding and females are bred only once per year or once every two years. Health Certifications are displayed on our website for each of our dogs.  All puppies are started on the hunting process by 5-6 weeks of age. We are members and participants of the WCA (Weim Club of America), NAVHDA (North American Hunting Dog Association),The IABCA(International All Breed Canine Association) and the VHDF (Versatile Hunting Dog Federation). We are also involved in the local rescue and placing needed homes for rescue Weimaraners. We have some of the top hunting bloodlines from around the world, including Germany, Australia, Argentina, Sweeden and the USA.  Our puppies are raised for family companions, hunting partners, agility, show, tracking, therapy...they truly are the versatile dog. Please contact us with any questions or information. We also have NAVHDA puppy packets for anyone seriously interested in becoming a member. We look forward to visiting with you about our dogs and family. Please view our website for health certifications such as OFA, PennHip, CERF, General Wellness and pictures galore!
Dawna and the gang!

Hi Dawna,
Wanted to update you on Gunther. This is his second season and he is a great dog. The best out of the 4 weims I've had. In the last couple of
weeks he figured out the final secrets of working the running pheasant we have here. He now has a nice slow stalking pace once he tracks to hot
scent, locks up, and repositions cautiously to point again.
He had a natural honor from the start and hunts dead with determination. He's a great house
dog. He likes water, and swims well. You were right on the Longhair/shorthair cross, his fur is more dense and he is the first dog I've had with no stitches after a season and a half.

He hunts both head high and on the ground, and luck on litter, pick or breeding gave him an excellent nose. Maybe the best ive seen.

He's smart. After one porcupine experience with about 10 quills, he figured that out. Yesterday he pointed a porcupine, then as I walked up he
BACKED away in reverse stalk mode. I shot the porcupine, and Gunny just turned away and started hunting again. This compared to my 7 yr old, who,
after 8 experiences with almost infinite quills and the "whole shoot a porc and ecollar burn the dog repeatedly" still can't be trusted.

So, all in all a great dog. Hasn't been sick a day in his life. My only complaint is he won't quit pissing on my car and bike tires in the
garage.

I just want to say you have given us an amazing dog. I cant believe how awesome gunner is. We went on a pheasant hunt monday and it was his first time out for pheasants. He tracked his first bird down a irrigation canal for about 200 yards and finished with a point, my friends moved up, shot the bird, and it fell on the other side of the canal. Gunner swam across but couldnt find it. He looked for 25 minutes and never gave up, then found it. Im sure he would of kept looking until dark if he didnt find that bird, his drive is insane. After that first bird gunner went nuts. He tracked 3 more pheasants that night with very little wind. we shot one and it went down in a ditch and ran. Gunner again looked for a while then tracked it down the ditch and pointed it again. When we bumped it out it ran at mach 10 down the field until gunner caught up and tackled it in a cloud of dust. We went out again today and same story, gunner did amazing tracking down runners like theres no tomorrow. I just want to say thanks again, keep up the good work. Tomorrow I am going to try to get video of our hunt, should be exciting.

Hi Dawna, As always, Slate is doing AWESOME!!! He's met quite a few dogs now and is very outgoing and friendly to all of them. He knows when to back down when a dog is feeling grumpy, but when another dog shows signs of acceptance, it's on! He just loves to play. All of our friends and family that have met him absolutely adore him. Liz and the girls took him down to Pearl Creek Elementary School (the kids go there) and let him run around the soccer fields. He ran non stop,and was introduced to all the kids in the playground, just tons of ooohs and ahhhs, lots of petting, he just soaks up attention. Potty training is still being worked on, but he's sleeping pretty much through the night, wakes up a few minutes before my alarm goes off (he's so considerate!) Also, we took him for the wellness checkup,everything looked good. They clipped his nails and gave him a physical. I've been loading pictures like
crazy on my facebook page of Slate, swing on by and check 'em out. Thanks,
Jonathan Pollen

Gunner is doing great, he is definitely a part of the family. Rylee and Rem did dog 4H with Gunner this summer and he participated he the fair on Friday. He did very well. He missed Reserve Grand Champ by 1 point!! Whew Whew!!! We are looking forward to this fall when Sage Hen and Sharp Tail open mid September. Will let you

Hi Dawna,
sorry for being so out of touch the last few months. We have been incredibly busy
with wrapping up school and moving back to Switzerland.
But most importantly, we and especially Higgins are doing great! He did great on the flight and had a good adjustment in Switzerland. We had some trouble finding the right food, but now everything seems to be going well. Thankfully we had packed a
few small bags of the eagle pack...
Right now we are actually in Italy with him and he loves the ocean! We take him to the beach every day either early mornings or late evenings and he cant get enough
;-)
We are trying to teach him 'to heel' right now, but it is taking some time. I guess we just have to be patient. Do you happen to have any recommendations for us? We would love to have him ready with that by September when the baby comes!
Another question we have is regarding exercise and running. We have the feeling that he doesnt really know his limit and if up to him would just run all day. But what amount of running do you recommend per day? And when can we take him jogging with
us?
He still has his crazy five minutes once in a while and we are also wondering if that's still normal with 7 months?
We'll be posting more pictures on facebook. But he's just the most adorable, sweet,and beautiful dog.
All the best,
Elena & Florian

"Dawna, My husband and I want to again thank you for one of the greatest joys of our lives - our Tujague is a little over a year old now. He is a big goof and we are crazy about him! Will post his year old pics as soon as I can get a little time!! Thanks again for being such a fantastic breeder and having such a strong program- weim lovers always comment on how beautiful he is :)"

Dear Dawna,
I wanted to let you know that the puppy is doing great. He has become a part of our family, pretty much immediately and had a great personality. We hope to start training-puppy obedience, soon in a week or so. He had his 12 vaccine at the vet a couple of days ago following the schedule you provided. He got a worming at the same time, kind of unexpected by us and I wanted to know if you thought that would be a problem.
Thanks again for a wonderful puppy,
hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Dawna,
Gunther is just over a year old born 12/13/2009.
I sent you a picture of Gunther pointing a grouse, via my blackberry. I kept trying to get you a picture of him pointing pheasant, but it turns out that I am hard wired to shoot the pheasant with my gun instead of the camera. He pointed this grouse while we were on our morning walk in the back 20, so I had no gun, and as a result the grouse lived and you got a pic.
Being a Lonhair Carrier he turned out slightly fuzzier than my other weims, which you predicted and this has indeed helped keep his belly from getting cut up by brambles.
Gunther is fast, and loves to run. Hunts medium close range, except a pheasant running in a straight line can suck him too far out. This is only his first season though, and since he does slow down and stalk when the bird is not sprinting a straight line, I expect he'll figure out straight line is not a foot race.
He has the best nose of any of my 5 wiems, as well as of all the dogs my buddies hunt with! Best nose I have ever seen. About 2 months into the season, my 6 yr old gave up supremacy, and started watching Gunther for clues on where the bird went.
He has always had a natural honor from day one. Absolutely staunch on honor with zero input from me.
Natural pointer on a sitting bird. He'll lock up for as long as the bird wants to sit.
I force fetched him, which went pretty quick. He's a biddable dog who wants to learn. He is still figuring out tracking, but with his nose, and with his extreme prey drive, he should be good at tracking a wounded bird. I switched from 28 ga to 12 ga for his first season, and only shot pointed birds, so just about everything he pointed got fetched back dead. Next year I'll shoot some wild flush birds and go back to the 28 ga so he'll get more tracking practice.
He is extremely birdy. His first point and fetch was a sight to see, brought the bird back, sat on command. But absolutely would not let go. Wouldn't tug of war, didn't growl, didn't chew, but just sat there in a state of bliss with his jaws locked up.
He's a chipper, friendly guy, a good pet as well as hunter. As far as he is concerned, life is good and we should all have a good time.
No health issues whatsoever. Went to the vet for his vacs, per your schedule, and hasn't been back since.
That's Gunther's story, let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Dawna;
I hope all is well with you and your family, and hopefully you had a great hunting season.I can't tell you how much we love our dog. He is pretty laid back, not much upsets him and he really wants to please, he seems to learn quickly. He is a big (80 lbs ) and beautiful, Weim's are not very common around us and his color is even less common so he really causes a still wherever he goes. He is tall, long, stout and very strong - I could go on but I'm sure you know just what I mean.
When Beau hunts he has a great nose and if there are birds around he will find them, Jeff hunted him yesterday with a friend who has 2 very nice Shorthairs and Beau pointed and naturally honored their point, considering that we didn't professionally train him, or that we haven't worked him on birds very much we think he is doing a great job and we know he will only get better. The only problems we have with Beau are of our own making, not being firm enough, not working with him enough and consistency, but we understand that this is our fault. Thans for such a wonderful pup!
I hope all is well with you.
Cindy Fulfer
