What is a WEIMARANER?

A medium size , grey short-coated dog (unless of course the Long-haired variety) with light coloured eyes. The dog presents a picture of power, stamina and balance. The hunting ability of the breed is of paramount concern. The breed is fearless yet friendly, protective, obedient and very alert and needs plenty of stimulation and has a brain that needs to be occupied.
The Weimaraner is a multi-purpose Hunt, Point and Retrieve gundog. This breed requires consistent treatment from sensible owners. A lively, cheerful, affectionate animal that can be stubborn. A very hardy breed with a good sense of smell and a passionate worker. Also trained easily for the show ring where he makes a handsome presence.

Judging Lists

The Society compiles a judging list each year in line with The Kennel Club mandatory requirements. Judging lists are available from the Secretary for use by canine Societies when selecting judges. Applications for inclusion in the judging list must be made on the Society’s formal application only. The annual close off date for such applications is 31st March each year however, we will review applications as and when we receive them and alter the online judges list accordingly.

Applications can only be considered if submitted on the formal application form which can be downloaded from the Download Page. There is also a Current Judges list available.

If you require further information ragarding the judges list, please contact the Secretary Tel. 01904 763149 or e-mail

Judges please note the following: Applying to be included on the North of England Weimaraner Society Judges List means you agree not to place, at any show, a blue dog purporting to be a Weimaraner.
The Weimaraner Breed Standard is very clear "Preferably silver grey, shades of mouse or roe grey permissible; blending to lighter shade on head and ears. Dark eel stripe frequently occurs along back. Whole coat gives an appearance of metallic sheen. Small white mark permissible on chest. White spots resulting from injuries not penalised."
Any other coat colour is considered 'Colour not recognised by The Kennel Club' and should be considered a serious fault.

Any judge on the NEWS Judges List who is found to have placed a blue dog will be removed from the List with immediate effect.
