About us and our breeding ethics.....
|
 |
|
Established in 1977, we are now a well-known kennel and are proud of producing all-round dogs of excellent type and temperament for family life, as well as show or working dogs The affix HOLLIESEAST was granted at that time, by the Kennel Club, and was the name of the house where the first litter was born.
Weimaraners are the only breed we own and specialise in.
Our breeding stock are all hip scored. There are, however, other important characteristics of the breed that should be taken into consideration, i.e. temperament, overall conformation and movement, coat colour and texture, and eye shape. Hip scoring is just one aspect. There is no point in having a low hip score if the dog does not possess the other attributes.
All our litters are carefully planned, and we breed only to continue our line, or to keep a puppy for showing. We take great pride in the fact that our bitches produce quality, silver grey puppies, with the correct short, sleek coat, so desired within the Weimaraner breed.
Our dogs are ALL Championship show winners and have been awarded their Kennel Club Studbook numbers by either winning 'Reserve C.C's' or 'Junior Warrants'. This gives them life qualification to enter CRUFTS, the most well known of all the Championship Dog Shows. |

Many of our puppies go to families with school age children, who often have other pets including cats, guinea pigs and rabbits! If a puppy is introduced to another animal in the family, whilst the puppy is a baby, it will accept it as part of the 'pack'. We have many puppies/dogs living with other pets in their homes. One of our greatest pleasures is to be contacted by a previous puppy buyer either wanting to add to their Weimaraner family, or to replace a much loved pet. All our litters are reared in the house, with great care and attention to their welfare; the emphasis being on their development with the human family with whom they are going to live, and hopefully spend the rest of their lives. |

- If you contact us for a puppy, you will be asked questions regarding your lifestyle and home environment. If the thought of this offends you, then please do not contact us. You can always buy from another source.
- When we have a litter of puppies for sale and you are invited to view the litter, we will then take a deposit on a puppy from that litter. We do NOT take money deposits, in advance, on an un-seen litter, as we feel this practice to be un-ethical.
