Barbara purchased her first Weimaraner puppy in February of 1971. Having previously trained a Dalmatian in obedience, Barb was interested in continuing this activity with a Weimaraner. Her first Weim was Joisey Jo’s Spooky Lady CD NSD. She was a daughter of Kam’s Redhill Resolute and a grand-daughter of Ch. Warhorse Billy of Redhill CD. When Chip first met Barb it was a case of "Love me, love my dog!". What could he do? After marrying Barb in 1973 he purchased his own Weimaraner puppy, Braun’s Silver Lining CD NSD NRD. He was out of Ch Wetobe’s Dear Daunt and Ch Sandvold’s Jingle Belle CD.

They had a daughter from Spooky and Braun who was named Tinkerbelle’s Magic Moondust CD. They then purchased a girl by the name of Kristof’s Royal Jubilee CD NRD who was Jeff’s first 4-H and Junior Showmanship Dog.

Our first "show dog" was "show dog" was Ch Redhill’s Billie Jo CD NSD NRD V. "Billie Jo" has her own page here. Click here to read about this extra-special Weimaraner.

These were our early dogs who taught us what Weimaraners were all about. We learned a lot about how to train dogs. We got a lot of advice from Weimaraner experts as well as people with other breeds. We became 4-H Dog Project leaders in 1976 (and still continue) in order to teach children how to become responsible dog owners.
