Who We Are

Experienced Weimaraner Breeders Since 2001

At Shade of Grey, we've been passionate about raising Weimaraners since 2001, and our breeding program has been a labor of love since 2005.

 

Centrally Located for Easy Access

Located just south of Erie, PA, our kennel is within easy reach of Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Cleveland. Our Weimaraners are raised in a home environment with access to spacious outdoor areas, perfect for exercise and play. We’re also conveniently located near a large state game lands, ideal for hunting, training, and regular exercise.

 

Hunting and Training Expertise

Many of our Weimaraners are trained in bird hunting, excelling with their energy, focus, and tenacity in the field. With the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation, these athletic dogs transform into loving, well-behaved companions at home.

 

Health Certifications and Quality Care

We prioritize health in our breeding program. All of our breeding dogs are OFA or Penn Hip certified to ensure they are free of hip dysplasia. Every Weimaraner we raise is registered with the AKC.

 

Focused on Nutrition and Well-Being

Proper nutrition, exercise, and socialization are the cornerstones of our program. We feed our dogs top-grade, premium dog food and supplement expectant and nursing mothers with natural products to support their health.

 

What We Do

Spacious 20-Acre Playground for Our Weimaraners

Our Weimaraners enjoy the freedom of a fully fenced 20-acre area, perfect for exploring and training. We regularly have litters of Weimaraner puppies available throughout the year. For colder months, our heated 2,000+ sq. ft. facility provides a comfortable space for selecting your new puppy. To ensure the safety and security of our dogs, all indoor and outdoor areas are monitored 24/7 with a camera surveillance system.

 

Careful Monitoring for Mothers and Newborns

Expectant mothers give birth in our home, in a climate-controlled environment, where they receive close monitoring and assistance throughout the entire labor process.

In the critical first few days of life, our puppies are carefully watched, and supplemental feeding is provided if needed, especially for larger litters or smaller pups. At 4-5 days old, their dewclaws are removed, and their tails are docked.
