THERIC,since you're from Minnesota I want to encourage you to check out this Breeder. His web page is
Bonnstetterkennels They are in Slayton.Larry is a retired farmer who is very good to deal with.He can show you either the old rugged style, or the more streamlined show quality type.I've had my female bred to Spook,and Barron and have been extreamly happy with both litters.
I dont think you can beat a Weimeraner for a family/gun dog.I would go so far as to say that it is a breed that needs to be a part of a family,is good with children and very,social.
