In 1978, Driftwood Weimaraners was created.  I started out owning a "rescue" Weimaraner in 1977 where upon after his short lived life (many health problems due to originally coming from a PetShop / Puppymill) "which opened my eyes" where as I then decided to purchase a puppy from a reputable WCA member breeder and joined the Weimaraner Club of America along with other local affilliated WCA clubs.  This is were the story begins ... and now 30+ years later, I am very proud of the versatile Weimaraners I have produced.  I want to thank Henrietta "Rusty" Jenrette of Starbuck Weimaraners as my mentor for many years and for my foundation breeding bitch who had stolen my heart, Greta.

I currently have living in my household 4 Weimaraners - - -
Greta / Cinders / Trigger / Nellie ... ( 3 generations )

I personally train all my dogs and compete in AKC and WCA events such as Conformation (dog shows), Obedience, Hunting, Retrieving and Tracking over the last 30+ years.

All of my Weimaraners which live with me are "house dogs" and NOT kennel dogs. They are my family, my friends and my confidants. Puppies are very well socialized with many people and my other Weimaraners and are able to play and potty in a fenced grassy area but are kept safely indoors at night and at nap times.  Puppies are exposed to different textures, sounds, stress, and enviroments to become a well adjusted Weimaraner.  Puppies are also exposed to live Quail.  Puppies are evaluated at the ages of 6, 7, & 8 weeks for temperament and conformation by myself and at least 3 other WCA member Weimaraner breeders.  I also perform the Volhard Puppy Aptitude test at age 7 weeks (as recommended) on the puppies (click on link)   http://www.volhard.com/pages/pat.php.  Puppies to approved homes with contract and health guarantee.

I am a member of good standing of the Weimaraner Club of America;  Former Secretary of the Tarheel Weimaraner Club (and former Show Chairman);  Former Treasurer of the Florida Gulf Coast Weimaraner Club.
