Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind SureShot Weimaraners located in West Valley, NY. We strive to breed-hard hunting, healthy Weimaraners with natural ability and excellent temperaments. We breed only one to two litters per year, and put tremendous planning and forethought into each litter we produce. We are dedicated to our dogs and their families for the lifetime of the pups and beyond. Please note that we sell to hunting homes only.

Carey’s experience

  • About Carey

    We brought our first Weimaraner home in December of 2009, and had no idea how our lives would change. Ten years later, we've hunted over our dogs from New York to Nebraska, become active in AKC Field events, are members in good standing of the Weimaraner Club of America, and are active in NAVHDA.

  • What makes Carey’s program special

    Our dogs are raised in our home, and have wonderful temperaments as they are family members first. They have an off-switch in the home, but are driven and talented in the field and water. We are committed to the dogs and their families for the lifetime of the pup, and beyond.

Enrichment and socialization

Puppies meet a variety of people throughout the 8 weeks they spend with us, of all ages. They receive early exposure to crates and crate training, car rides, outdoor time, exposure to birds and water (weather permitting). We raise our puppies using the Puppy Culture Protocol.

Puppy health practices

We use a low-dose working protocol on the dam throughout gestation, and pups are wormed at 6 and 8 weeks. They receive first vaccinations, vet checks, and an eye exam prior to heading to their new homes. They are also microchipped.

Extras

We send our puppies home with AKC Registration, NAVHDA Registration, Microchip, Puppy Collar, Puppy Leash, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, and Lifetime Support.

More about Carey

  • Why Carey started breeding

    Thanks to a wonderful breeder, mentor, and friend, I was encouraged to think about breeding. After co-breeding a litter together, she and a village of mentors and friends continue to guide us. We're dedicated to preserving the Weimaraner as a versatile breed, and strive to produce hard-hunting, intelligent, healthy, sound dogs with natural ability and solid temperaments.
