I am planning to take my German import longhaired bitch to Germany in the next 2 weeks to mate with Gerhard Eiben's long haired stud dog Vosbroek's Fjord, both he and my bitch have good working bloodlines .
If anyone is interested in these German bloodlines please PM me and i can supply more info

Good luck with this breeding. I'll be using Frodo as well. We've actually been hunting with Gerd and Frodo and he really surprised us. He has the most fantastic character as well!!!!

Thanks, its a long haul going to germany but its worth it....... Pele's puppies were all good strong puppies and training well but we thought we would have a change of bloodlines, Gerhard said he is very strong and he has done well with his tests so far, My husband saw him last year in germany and said he was a beautiful dog.

Gosh I can hardly believe it's a year since she had her last litter Shocked

And if she is pregnant that will be 2 LH litters in the UK at the same time....at least I'll have somewhere to send people when I get the enquiries now!

Out of interest are their any differences between long and short apart from their coat ?

Are there any hpr traits which are more pronounced in one than the other ?

Where did the longhaired gene come from when short is dominant over long ?

I have LH and SH Weimaraners and my LH's seem to be more laid back, not sure if anyone else has found that as well?
In Germany, mostly shorthaired (SH) dogs were used for hunting land fowl. Water fowl were hunted primarily with longhaired (LH) dogs. Members of the Delegate Commission, which was the forerunner of the Jagdgebrauchshundeverbandes- - JGHV (a hunting/working dog club), eagerly tried to copy the sleek aristocratic English hunting dogs. They did however dock the tails to create a distinguishing feature.

The LH Weimaraners poorly matched this desired ideal. They did appear from time to time, as is evidenced in the old classified ads, but were not used for breeding. One reason for its rarity might have been the fact that the LH gene is recessive. Shorthair is the dominant trait. LH x LH always produces LH. Sometimes, LH puppies will appear from two SH parents, if both parents have some LH blood. The "mixed” blood is not always obvious in the SH Weimaraner.

So it's for appearance only ?
How many longhaired Weims are born in the UK?
