Why now is not the time to get a puppy
Update March 2021
Over the last year, I have had numerous calls and emails asking me if I know of any litters. I am not alone. I know that the secretaries of all the other breed clubs have experienced the same, as have breeders. In fact, there has been a huge demand for dogs of all breeds. And on the back of this demand, the price has skyrocketed, with some greedy breeders asking £3000 + or more. sometimes for an unregistered puppy. This has led to the frightening escalation of dog thefts, with reports of dog nappers hanging around parks with the intention of grabbing the much-loved family pet. Now I read that owners are buying reinforced leads and collars, personal alarms, and sprays to arm themselves when they take their pet for a walk. This is a result of the greeders and the idiots who pay the inflated prices
Thinking of buying a Weimaraner
Why do you want a Weimaraner? Unfortunately, far too many people reply, 'I just love the colour' And that is the worst reason for wanting one of these special dogs. Have you done your research? Have you spoken with Weimaraner owners or visited an event such as a dog show where you can meet lots of Weimars? Do you know what makes them tick?
What's a fair price for a puppy
The Club Committee discussed this matter at a recent meeting after it was reported that some Weimaraner breeders were charging an exorbitant £2,500 - £3000 -4,000 for their puppies. After much discussion, the Committee decided that £950 - £1250 is a fair price range and anything more and the breeder would need to easily justify the extra cost. Given that some of the top breeders in the country, both show, and work, don't charge more for their pups, we can't see how other breeders can demand more for their pups.
