About US, Amy & LaRita Fast

As a mother/daughter team, we've been showing Weimaraners since 1990 , breeding since 1997 and have been members of the Weimaraner Club of America since 1990. As members and the webmasters for the Weimaraner Club of America, we are active in the breed club. We are also members of the Bracco Italiano Club of America. We attend all-breed shows, specialty shows and the yearly Weimaraner Club of America National Specialty when we can. Our dogs and breeding record speak for themselves. We've produced champions and continue to consistently compete successfully with dogs we've produced.

Breeder's Biography

We bought our first Weimaraner as a pet in late 1989. We had narrowed it down to three different breeds, the Weimaraner, the Rhodisian Ridgeback and the Basenji. We chose the Weimaraner because of it's striking looks, intelligent temperament and the fact that it could be more than an "ankle biter" if someone broke into the house.

Libby, our first Weimaraner

We joined the Weimaraner Club of America in 1990. At that point we decided we wanted a male to show and looked through a few months worth of litter announcements and magazines. We waited what seemed like forever for the right puppy. We finally acquired Stuart who was out of one of the top-producing dog of all time, Ch.Valmar Smokey City Ultra Easy. We got him a few days after Christmas in 1991.

After showing Stuart for awhile, we decided we wanted a female dog. We waited about two years to get the right female for our breeding program from Tom Wilson and she was well worth the wait. Sophie arrived in late 1994 and we had a great time showing her over the next two years. She won several BOB awards and made the cut in sporting group at six months old.

Stuart

Nearly nine years after the original idea, we finally had our first litter of puppies with Sophie in 1997. This litter produced both of our BISS winners and Tommy who made it onto the top 10 in 2000. When the babies were about 8 months old, we packed up the whole crew and moved to 5 acres here in Colorado. We felt a more centralized location would make traveling to shows easier and more frequent.

The rest is history, so to speak…we're active in showing, breed clubs and other Weimaraner related activities. We attend 35-50 shows a year and usually breed 2 litters a year. Our web site highlights what we've accomplished with showing and breeding our dogs and our hopes for the future of this breed. Please explore the indexes and read about our dogs and experiences.
