Duffy was a hard running and consistent field dog. His style and intensity handling
birds was a joy to watch. Handled by professional Ken Jellings, he was entered in 161
field trials, placing 112 times and winning 71 times. He earned his AKC Field
Championship in 1976 and his AKC Amateur Championship in 1977. He was the
number one WCA Puppy-Derby in 1974 and 1975. He was also the WCA number one
All-Age Dog in 1977,78, 80 and 81. Winning back-to-back Amateur National
Championships in 1978 and 1979 and the National Championship in 1978 were a
highlight to his career. He was the Weimaraner representative at the AKC Centennial
Dog Show in 1984. He sired the 1980 National Derby and Futurity winner and other
field placing offspring. He was viewed by many to be one of the best Weimaraner field
dogs ever.

His show record is amazing in itself (155 BOB; 116 Group Placements, including 16 first and 37
seconds; two Best Am. Bred in Show; one Best in Show; and 35 Specialty wins). Rick would be
considered a great dog on the strength of this record alone. However, it is in the stud department
that Rick really left his mark. As of now, he is the sire of 26 Champions, with several others who
will surely finish soon. He is the sire of two Group winners. The number of champions in whose
pedigrees he appears in impossible to calculate, but their legions include BIS Am.& Can. Ch.
Shadowmar Barthaus Dorilio, and the winning Champions, Gronbacks Aladdin and Kebbenas
Rudolf of Bear Creek.

CH. BURT V.D. HARRASBURG, BROM
The third of the Harrasburg B litter to arrive in the U.S., Burt had all the
qualities one could wish for in a Weimaraner. His superb conformation
made him a Best-In-Show dog. Birdy and intense, he hunted with his
master, retrieving birds from the water in the Alaskan snow. Gentle and
obedient with his owners and friendly with strangers, he was never
aggressive with man or dog, but protective and willing to back it up if
needed. An excellent sire, he produced 19 champions, some outstanding
field performers and was the grandsire of Best-In-Show Ch. Graves
Rogue.
Five of her offspring are BROM producers including the #1 producing BROM sire.

BOB winner. His first points were won at 6 months of age when he was BOW for 5
points at the Yankee Specialty. He was in the Top Ten for several years and earned
his JH in 4 straight hunt tests.
Jacks real contribution to the breed was his ability as a sire. Sire of 54 champions
he is the #5 BROM top producer. An amazing 20 percent of his champions are
themselves BROM top producers. His offspring include: 1 BIS winner, 12
Futurity/Maturity winners, 12 obedience title holders, 9 hunt test title holders and
11 BROM top producers.
In addition to his American Offspring, his frozen semen was used in Australia for
one litter. That litter produced 5 BIS winners which include the all time top winning
Weimaraner in Australia who was a multiple BIS winner and BIS at the Sydney
Royal, the Westminster of Australia over an entry of more than 5000 dogs.

Daunt was Best In Futurity at the 1967 Eastern Futurity. He was #1 Weimaraner in 1969
and was on the Top Ten for 3 years. His show record was 105 Best of Breed wins, 10
Group One wins and numerous Group placements and Specialty Show wins.
Daunt's impact as a sire is still felt today. He is behind a majority of today's top winning
and top producing sires and dams. He was the sire of 52 champions which included 2
Best In Show winners and 3 Futurity winners. The best evidence of his influence on the
breed is his 17 BROM progeny (almost 1/3 of his champions).
Daunt produced sons that could produce but the ability of his daughters to produce is
unmatched to this day. He is the sire of 11 BROM bitches, more than any other sire.

CH Gourmats Sardar became the breeds fifth BIS winner in the late
1950s.Fritz was the smallest puppy of the litter and was sold as a pet. For
one reason or another, the home did not work out, nor did the subsequent
ones. The third time Frits returned, Erma decided that the dark gray puppy
was fated to be her dog, and his fine show career proved the wisdom of her
decision.
Handled by Dick Cooper to 115 breed wins, Fritz went on to many group
placements as well as 3 American and 2 Canadians BIS wins (1958-1961) He
captured the breed at Westminster in 1958 and 1960 (top winning

Ch. Greysport Amazing Grace,
UDTX, NSD, RDX, VX, BROM, TDI
Grace was the puppy that did not exist! Despite two prenatal x-rays by two excellent
vets, I was told that her dam, Ch. Hoot Holllows
Firefly, CD, TDX, V, was not pregnant. But I knew
otherwise. Grace was delivered into my waiting
hands on May 9, 1983. Since she was a singleton
and delivered by caeserean section, the anesthesia
took its toll and I fought 24 hour a day for ten days. I
tube fed, stimulated and held her and above all,
WILLED her to live!
And LIVE she did! Gracie spent the rest of her
days making me HAPPY and PROUD!
She was certified for AKC TD entry at 16 WEEKS
of age. She earned her TD in her FIRST test at six
months three days. Then on to TDX. She earned her
TDX title in her first test at the second National TDX
test in Ohio. She was only 18 month old at the time.
In her lifetime, Grace followed 48-hour-old tracks
with ease, and once found a starters pistol in a 50-
acre corn field because I asked her to.
The obedience titles came easily, too, although
Grace found obedience a bit boring. She earned her
CD with five straight qualifying scoresall with class placements. Her CDX came in
four showsfive months later. Then her UD seven months later in only four attempts. I
campaigned her in obedience for two years, and she remained in the Top Ten both
years. And, I feel that if Gracie had actually been fully awake during this period, we
couldve earned an OTCh title! Her average score was about 190.0, so she remained,
at least, semi-conscious throughout the whole ordeal!
Her field ratings were more exciting for her. She earned an NSD, NRD, RD, and an
RDX all within a years time.
Gracie excelled in the whelping box as well. In only two litters in two consecutive
years, she produced five champions, three CDs, two CDXs, four TDs, four NRDs, four
NSDs, one RD, two JHs, one SH, and three Vs. Both of her litters were born on
January 20th.
There has not been a day since then that I havent missed her! She was TRULY an
AMAZING dog.
He not only proved himself as a top show dog but also as a top producer. He was on the Top
Ten list 1985 through 1989. Brae is the winner of 3 All-breed Best in Shows, 2 National
specialties, 26 Specialty Bests, 18 Group Firsts, 46 group placements and 167 Bests of Breed.
He also won Best of Breed three times in a row at Westminster Kennel Club Show, placing
third in the Sporting Group the first year.
Brae is the number four all time Top Producing sire. He has sired 63 champions. One of those is
Am/Can Ch. Normans Greywind Phoebe Snow, JH who broke the Best in Show record that
stood for 32 years. Brae has sired dogs who attain not only championships but Field Titles,
Obedience Titles and BROMs. He was the sire of Ch. EBs Red Hot Seabreeze UDX, JH,
NRD, VX, the first Ch. OTCH in the breed. Brae truly left his mark on the Weimaraner breed.

Stormy and his devoted mistress really put their best foot forward, showing the marvelous
training adaptability of the Weimaraner. Over a four year period Stormys record is still
awesome! 61 BOB; first Weimaraner to win Canadian Reserve Best in Show; first to win Best
Brace in Show with son Ch. Helmanhofs Uhlan.
All of the preceding was incidental to the following; CD, CDX, UD, 10 times top scoring in
show with 3 perfect scores. Two time winner of the Kubel Memorial Trophy. Three times Best
Obedience Brace in Show with Wave of Mortgaged Acres. Stormy won firsts from New York
to California to Florida.
Sue and Stormy gave obedience exhibitions starting in 1948, among which were such
prestigious events as Madison Square Garden in 1949, the Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium, New
Yorks SPCA Training Club and many Kennel Club shows.
In Feb. 1952, while in N.Y. City for an exhibition at Westminster, Stormy jumped a hedge in
Central Park. It was deceptive for the ground sloped upward beyond the hedge, however, there
was a sheer cliff dropping 24 feet to a narrow road beyond the hedge. Stormy was severely
injured. He recovered but his exhibition days were ended.
On April 14, 1962, Jus Jill, not yet three years old, took a major step
forward for her breed by placing first against 17 German Shorthaired
Pointers in an AKC Open Gundog Stake and at the same time attaining her
field championship.
Jill was just 19 months old when she romped to a third place against a 19
dog entry at a pointer and setter trial. Jill continued her winning ways by
accumulating all of her puppy and derby points in either Open or GSP
stakes.

On August 21, 1988, Earl handled Windy to her Novice Retrieving Rating! On March
18, 1989, after dragging Earl to four successive hunting tests, she earned her Junior Hunter
certificate from the American Kennel Club---believed to be the first and only such title ever
awarded to an eyeless dog!
Windy died peacefully at her beautiful Tennessee mountaintop home in the arms of her
beloved Earl on Sunday afternoon, October 24, 1999 after an apparent heart attack. Earl had just
returned from an extended business trip abroad and, clearly, Windy had waited for him so that
she could say a proper goodbye; just the way she did things all her lifeshe insisted!
In her own competitive career, Annie was remarkable for her consistency and longevity.
The factor that won her so many ribbons was probably her stylish point, aided by her busy,
thorough ground pattern. This was a dog dedicated to the pursuit and pointing of birds and if
those who lived with her didnt provide opportunities to do this we knew about it. Her record at
the Eastern Classic alone is hard to beat with ten total placements in seven years, including two
wins and six placements in the Open Gun Dog Classic.
