Product Description

Product Description
This breed of great grace, speed and stamina, is one of the most distinctive looking of all. Bred on the Continent as multi-purpose hunting, pointing, and retrieving gundog, the Weimaraner has been embraced world-wide as a dependable worker, loyal companion and photographer's model, this last through the Wegmann Weimaraners.

From the Inside Flap
The Essential Weimaraner The Weimaraner, a picture of grace, speed and stamina, is one of the most distinctive–looking of all breeds with its striking grey coat and light–coloured eyes. Bred in Continental Europe as a multi–purpose hunt, point, retrieve gundog, the Weimaraner has now been adopted worldwide as a effective and dependable working dog, a glamorous show dog, and a loyal family companion. The intelligent Weimaraner has also made its mark in Working Trials. In this highly comprehensive Book of the Breed, the author traces the origins of the Weimaraner and the development of the breed in different parts of the world. There is an in–depth analysis of the Breed Standard, plus useful tips on handling the Weimaraner in the show ring. Practical advice is given on choosing a puppy, training, feeding, and general care, moving on to the more specialized area of breeding and rearing a litter. The working Weimaraner is highlighted with contributions from leading Field Trial Kennels, giving invaluable information on training techniques.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, 9 April 2003
By A Customer
This book is of no practical use to the 1st time Weimaraner owner. It is full of very general information on the breed which you can find in any other dog book. Don't waste your money like I did...

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money., 20 Jun 2002
By Clive (Dubai United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews
This is a thin enough (and overpriced) book to start with and when you take out the endless different breed standards for different parts of the world plus the tedious section that describes lineage of the kennels even down to how the different owners met there's barely anything of substance left.
The photos are amateurish and poorly reproduced (even the cover photo is out of focus) and remind me of a school library text book from the fifties....all are in black and white. The text is peppered with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
A serious breeder would know the contents already and a beginner would be bored to tears.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good comprehensive book, 13 Jan 2000
By A Customer
I recently purchased this book for friends who have just bought their first weimararner. They felt that this book was exactly what they needed. It covers all aspects of looking after weimaraners from puppies through to showing and breeding.
