Kevin, I know you are high on the DD because of the strict breeding controls. I spent 20 years in Germany and traveled a lot through Europe.

Initially, the Weimaraners were bred by the Bishop of Weimar and owned only by hunters. To this day, most breeders will not sell them to someone who does not have a hunting license and in Germany, a hunting license is a serious thing. Same for the DD. Their bird dogs are treated the same way. The first thing we did here in the States when the Weimies arrived, was to start breeding them over-tall as a boutique breed. We do the same thing with our Springer spaniels, Irish setters, English setters, etc, etc. Talk to an English breeder of hunting Cockers or Springers and see what they think of our show dogs.

I think you broke the code in buying a dog of any breed. Get one from a reputable breeder who strives to maintain the original traits and you won't go wrong.

And Izzy, there definitely looks to be some Weimaraner in that face.
