History and story of the Weimaraner:
Welcome
to the Timucuan Weimaraner Club Of Florida's website!
We hope you will find it a useful tool to find out more about
the Weimaraner. Our club was founded in the year 2000. We are
recognized by the American Kennel Club and the Weimaraner Club
of America.
Our
club was founded to promote the improvement of the Weimaraner
and responsible dog ownership. The Weimaraner is a very versatile
breed and many club members are active training
their dogs in obedience, tracking, hunting, agility, rally and
conformation shows.
Our
club area covers most of central and northern Florida. Our events
take place within our area and we try to have an event at least
every other month. Our club has at least one sanctioned AKC Hunt
Test per year. Our conformation specialty show is held during
the West Volusia Kennel Club dog show weekend in the fall. We
have lots of Fun Days and seminars as well. So please contact
an officer and come join the fun!
The
Weimaraner is a short coated dog. Its color ranges from light
silver-gray to dark gray. The eyes are blue to amber. The females
are usually between 23 and 25 inches tall at the shoulder and
weigh between 55 and 70 pounds. The males are larger at 25 to
27 inches at the shoulder and 65 to 85 pounds. This breed is used
for hunting pheasant, quail and other upland birds and waterfowl.
They are bred for intelligence and stamina, to be able to work
all day in the field. They love to work and play and have seemingly
endless energy. When not working, they are part of the family,
and like to be included in everything you do.
Although they excel at hunting, they are used for obedience, tracking,
show dogs, therapy dogs, drug detectors and as the favored companion.
The Weimaraner is a very versatile dog with the brains and energy
to do almost anything!
