Barrett Weimaraners is pleased to announce the arrival of eight puppies on December 22nd, 2023, between Trax Even Steven, “Steven” and Barrett Mesa Lightning, “Beatrix.”
Barrett Breeding Objectives
. Weimaraners as a breed are moderately sized hunting dogs and should be preserved as such. One of our short-term (within 10 years) goals is to produce and sustain a bloodline of Weimaraners who are fierce dogs with extreme athleticism and hunting endurance. In the longer-term (10-20 years) we hope to produce the same hard-hunting Weimaraners who are also capable of higher level conformation/dog shows [see also: Dual Champion Weimaraner].
The purpose of this breeding is to preserve a beautiful, moderate and versatile Weimaraner with a beautiful headpiece, balanced structure and high bird drive. The best puppies out of this litter are expected to be hard huntin’ bird dogs. As companion dogs, we expect them to be active, loyal, and family-oriented.
Puppies will be aptitude/temperament tested, introduced to live game birds, and evaluated for proper structure at seven weeks of age. Prospective owners will be notified which puppy will be coming home in mid-February after the series of tests have been completed.
12/27/2023 UPDATE: Inquiries for performance and/or companion homes are welcome. Please submit a Prospective Owner Questionnaire if you might be interested in a puppy out of this litter. Thank you!

More about Steven:
Steven was bred by Trax Weimaraners to be a field trial contender, and came down to Southern California ready for action. As a youngster, we discovered Steven was a water rat (searching in land and water at the age of four months). In the field, he was a pointing fool, both in sight and in scent. With high food motivation, great focus, and an excellent nose, Steven was a joy to work with through his puppy year.
With independence, range and enthusiasm, Steven happily breezed through his juvenile field trial career. As an adult, Steven is now running in the West Coast Winter/Spring 2024 Field Trial circuit.
More about Beatrix. Beatrix was our pick out of the Louie x Mango litter and represents the third generation of Barrett-bred Weimaraners (Boulder > Mango > Beatrix). True to the Barrett type, Beatrix is beautiful, sassy, affectionate, and opinionated. She also hunts, tracks, and swims when she feels like it [see also: Weimarattitude].
