Southpaw Weimaraners

We are Meredith Wadsworth & Bill Prillaman and we live in Rocky Mount, VA

We're members of NAVHDA, the WCA, and the Tarheel Weimaraner Club. 

We are proud weimaraner lovers since 2002, and dedicated to making this breed a better hunting and working dog  We feel that trainability, heart, and a superb nose are very important traits to bring into a breeding program for the amateur owner/handler.  We think that there's a fine line between cooperation and drive, and we strive to get that balance in our breeding.  Due to fewer "weimaraner only" field trials, weims today must be competitive against all breeds.  Not only for AKC events, but also in other venues, including NSTRA events.  A good dog should be adaptable and naturally staunch for both the foot hunter and the horseback field trialer.  Regardless of venue, a good weim MUST be a bird dog with the body and mind to carry him the distance.

We also believe that form truly follows function, and hope to produce dogs that are natural bird dogs, highly trainable, come equipped with a high-powered nose, and also have a beautiful, animated run in the field.  We love STYLE!

In addition to being a bird dog, Weimaraners were originally bred as a versatile dog, and that heritage needs to be maintained.  We don't subscribe to the old adage that "weims are different," we think that a good dog is a good dog--regardless of breed!  Weims today are still excellent workers after the shot, natural retrievers, and often keep a high level of sharpness on furry game.
