ABOUT US
Dual Weimaraners Program was an idea
brought to realization by these ladies who are concerned about our breed
splitting into extreme show or extreme field:
Elena Smith Lamberson, Johns Island, SC. I
started with some pet Weims in the mid 1970s and got my first show dog in 1978.
I learned about show, retrieving, and tracking with April. My first field dog
was in 1979 and I learned about obedience and field with Tide, who became a FC
(back then, a dog with 13 titles was a LOT!).
I have trained thru MH, RDX, SDX, UD, TD & bred many US show Ch with
field titles. I have been an AKC Hunt Test judge since around 1991. I have
chaired many show and field events. I am a founder of the Gr Charleston Weim
Club and am active with Weim Rescue for South Carolina.
No matter
where you are with your Dual Weimaraner, you have to start somewhere and we all started
out knowing nothing.
We hope to help you appreciate the versatility of our wonderful breed with our
emphasis on both show and field titles.

Anne Tyson
Snohomish, WA. I have had dogs all my life but grew up
showing and competing with horses. In the late '90s I became interested in dog
events and rescued a Brittany and English Setter that I competed with in
agility. I also got involved with hunting through a local NSTRA club, bought my
first shotgun and headed for the chukar hills of Eastern Washington. I got my
first Weim in 2002 from Regen Weimaraners and soon after joined forces with
Regen founder, Judi Voris. I currently have three Weimaraners including the
first Quadruple Champion Weimaraner. My passions are field events and obedience
but I train and compete with my dogs in all venues.

Leslie Like - Hillsboro, Oregon. I started in Weimaraners 13 years ago
with a pet from a show litter. As I became more familiar with field events I
became aware of the conformation needed for a dog to function properly and
have pointed my breeding program in that direction. I've finished 16 show
Champions, one Field Champion and one Amateur Field Champion. I am the founder of Oregon Weimaraner Rescue
and been a member of WCA and WWC since my first year in Weimaraners. I've
chaired 3-5 field events per year and been involved with all breed
organizations in helping develop Field Trial and Hunt Test opportunities for
the Pacific Northwest. Judging Field Trials and Hunt Tests all year long keeps
me in the saddle watching and learning. I am involved in the Dual project in
an effort to help steer our breed back to the purpose it was created for.

Liz Krupinski.
Elizabeth, CO Liz passed away on
March 15, 2010 We
are grateful for her knowledge,kindness and help with starting our group.
I started in
Weimaraners in 1992, after a long period of admiring them from afar. I grew up
doing limited upland bird hunting, but lots of small game hunting. We
had beagles for working and rough coat collies for playing. I met my first GSP
and a weimaraner when I was in college, but it was the weimaraner that made
an indelible connection to me. It was another 15 years before I was ready to add
a dog back into my life, but without hesitation it was a Weimaraner.
I quickly learned how to show my dog and started my education of the breed by
joining our local Weimaraner club, the Mile High Weimaraner club of Denver, and
the WCA. It was through my local club, and Sue and Charlie Williams, that I
became motivated to once again pursue upland bird hunting and begin work on AKC
hunting titles and WCA ratings. I became hooked and couldn't be happier to find
such a versatile breed that adds much joy to my life.
My dogs have achieved AKC and International bench champion titles, Best in Show
and Best in Specialty awards, all levels of AKC hunting titles, WCA ratings of
NRD, RD, NSD, SD, and SDX. We dabble in obedience and agility and we hope to
add more than our Rally titles when time permits. My first truly competitive dog
was from the Bavarian Mist line and while I've worked with Valmar, Graceland and
Win Weim, my line is named Monterra and my goal is to preserve and enhance the
versatility of this remarkable breed.
Carolyn Mehl
- Seeley Lake, MT I have been involved with Weimaraners for 23 years. My
primary activity with my Weimaraners is hunting. Living in Montana gives us a
great opportunity to spend many hours in the field each fall upland bird and
waterfowl hunting with our dogs. I also participate in AKC hunt tests,
conformation, NAVHDA, and I am also an AKC hunt test judge. I am very concerned
about the steady decline in bird hunters involved with Weimaraners that I have
observed over the last 20 years. I am hopeful that with the dedication of
people like Elena, Anne, Leslie, and Liz, as well all those that will support
and participate in the dual Weimaraner program, that the versatile Weimaraner
will return to the field where it belongs.

We are Weimaraner fanciers from all over the United
States and even have friends in other countries.
We have a wide array of experience in show and field. Some of us
have our first Weimaraner puppy and are eager to learn all about show and field.
Some of us have show dogs and want to train them for higher level of field
titles. Some of us have field dogs and want to improve conformation.
Some of us are show, field, hunting test, obedience or tracking judges.
We are all here for you; we want to share our
knowledge, broadcast your wins and brags and plan Dual litters!
