Southpaw Weimaraners

We are Meredith Wadsworth & Bill Prillaman and we live in Roanoke, VA. 

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

You know you're hooked...

when you look into your closet and see more than 10% blaze orange!  Or you trade a your nice "family car" for a gas guzzling diesel truck!  Why diesel?  For the travel trailer bought "for the dogs!"

I have always loved the outdoors-- hiking and camping and biking--and in fact that was what lead me to get a weimaraner in the first place.  I married a hunter, outdoorsman, and horse lover and the rest is history!

Weimaraners are the breed for us for many reasons, and we invite anyone who wishes to become famliar with the breed to do their research and meet/hunt over as many wems as the can.

See you in the field!

Who We Are

We have found ourselves living in the in the "black hole" of AKC field trials in Southwestern VA.  Because we lack the resources of local clubs and year-round training grounds, 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 trial stakes on the east coast, 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 field trialer.

We also believe that form truly follows function, and hope to produce dogs that have birdiness, biddability, and also have a beautiful, animated run in the field.

We think that weimaraners are--above all--a versatile breed, and that heritage needs to be maintained.  A good dog is a good dog--regardless of breed!
