Weimaraner Lab Puppies Called Georgian Bay Sporting Dogs

GBSD are built more like a Weimaraner than a Lab but separation anxiety has been reduced or eliminated due to the Lab influence in their genes. Depending on the generation, their coats are shorter than a Lab and shedding is reduced. GBSD stay with you when off leash. Stay in touch with BBF news and GBSD activities by visiting our News and Blog pages. Here is where we publish letters and photos and updates from the owners of many of our GBSD that now live across Canada and the United States from Newfoundland to BC and from Ontario, Massachusetts, New York, Kansas, California, and Washington.

Callie's Puppies - Photo Taken Feb 18, 2010
Callie is the daughter of Chief and Misty, our first Weimaraners. She is a sweet and obedient but strong natured 65 lb dog. Her only fault is that she is a relentless counter cruiser, but so are they all! Her puppies are likely to grow to 70 to 80 lbs as their father's genes are very strong and Callie has always produced large puppies from Avro. Avro is the father of these puppies and is our first Weim / Lab cross. He is a very strong, 85 lb dog. Outwardly he is passive but that hides a strong character. He is intelligent, gentle and obedient and seeks attention. He helped us raise our infant son. His calm demeanor hides a protective spirit. He charges 400 lb bears head on and is fearless. Avro is also our lead skijoring dog.

Callie and Avro's puppies are a proven mix. They will grow up to have Weimaraner like body configurations with the colouring you see now. Physical traits will include Weimaraner like floppy ears and long nose, long legs, and a tall stature. Likely these puppies will be long and lean like a Weimarner but with a slightly stronger bone structure.

About Our Puppies Born May 2009

Photos: The Mothers of our older puppies are third generation GBSD bred with a registered Labrador retriever.

The father of our puppies is Reddy Fox, a registered Labrador retriever. Reddy Fox' is an example of a perfect 'Field Trial' Labrador retriever. Field Trial Labs are bred for strength, obedience, intelligence, speed, size and above all, skill at retrieving. They are big and friendly and strong enough to retrieve a large goose from a marsh an then go back for more. Field Trial Labs can be registered as pure labs but do not conform to conformation specifications of a Labrador retriever that is bred for 'show' to compete for the breed standard ribbons. Reddy's Photos - Reddy 's Video.

Annie is the grandmother and the grandfather is Chief.


 

Delivery Toronto: GTA: All puppies are available for delivery to Toronto (Vaughan - Hwy 7 - Hwy 400) Barrie or Orillia for a modest charge or for pickup in Killarney.

Why Mix The Breeds?

Among the many instinctive talents of our GBSD is the fact that they don't run away! They stay close at hand when off leash (most of the time). Their make up is essentially Weimaraner so they are unusually bright, very exuberant, highly sociable and children friendly. Visit our 'Breeding Program' page to learn more about the astounding qualities of Weimaraners and our Georgian Bay Sporting Dogs.

The goals and purposes of our breeding program started in 2002 are described under our 'Breeding' link above.

However the short explanation is that we have created Weimaraners that have winter coats, dogs that stay with you when off leash rather than running off somewhere as a Lab will do, and dogs that are less hyper-active and anxiety-ridden than Weimaraners.

We have created a sporting dog that is a companion for outdoor adventurers and active families, that have been adapted to our northern climate. Our dogs are especially good with children as your will learn. We have posted almost 1000 photos of our puppies and dogs, including photos sent to us by current owners of our dogs sold in past years.

Character

GBSD puppies generally have similar characters in terms of intelligence, willingness, obedience, child friendliness, off-leash following and general friendliness. There is little difference between a GBSD and a Weim other than separation anxiety which is reduced or eliminated.

Some are more subdued by nature and other more gregarious and accepting of strangers. Socialability to strangers and other dogs has to be handled by introducing strangers and other dogs to them so that this becomes the norm in their lives up to 22 weeks of age. By that time the 'norm' is locked in and dogs and strangers are treated as a lab would treat them. Weims are usually more aloof. GBSD can go one way or the other depending what the norm is in their first formative 22 weeks of life.

Girls are 70 to 85 lbs but 70 to 75 is average. There usually is a smaller puppy but 'sometimes' they surprise you and grow out.

The puppies will likely be in the 70 to 80 lb range and the males in the 75 - 90 lb range. Here are some of our breeding females.

Coat Length

light brown puppy example. blackbearfarm.com Georigan Bay Sporting Dogs (GBSD)
GBSD 'Sandy', a Silver Grey Weim / Lab GBSD. Children Brett and Karli of Wanapitei ON. Sandy's photo gallery. 2nd Generation Mix
The coat length of our dogs are much shorter than the coat of a typical Labrador. In summer, the GBSD coat is longer than the very short coat of a Weimaraner. In winter, especially if the GBSD is exposed to the cold weather, their overcoats grow are longer and thicker, and can grow to about half the length of a Lab's coat. Yes they shed in spring and early summer but you can control shedding somewhat by using a horse currycomb instead of a brush. When we take our spring photography hikes into the mountains of Killarney, our dogs can loose their overcoats in a day or two as they play around us and run through the trees and bushes. We train our own dogs as recreational sled dogs. When we go on hikes in the LaCloche Mountains of Killarney, it never occurs to us to take a leash.

Last pictures of our recent litter. See photos of past litters.

How GBSD Are Sold

Many of our puppies are sold before they are born. Pickup or adoption dates are usually seven to eight weeks after the puppy's birth date and are subject to the puppies being successfully weaned. A vet examination and health report, first vaccination and one year health warranty is included in our sale.

Shipping Air Canada:

All puppies are available for shipping via Air Canada.$260.00 - $380.00 (subject to Air Canada Live Cargo quote). Puppies shipped in AM arrive same day in the PM.

We have shipped puppies to St. John's Newfoundland, Halifax NS, Edmonton AB, Vancouver BC, and Boston MA and Bellingham WA. We can arrange same day delivery to almost any North American city with an International airport. Average shipping costs are about $260.00 including crate and airfare. Shipping Stories.

We ship in the morning and your puppy will arrive in the afternoon or early evening in most cases. We ship puppies in an airline approved crate large enough for them to stand, turn around and lie down. The crate is equipped with a 'Lickit' style water bottle and spout and lined with hay to keep a puppy clean and dry. Air Canada live cargo is very effective. As one trained Air Canada live cargo person said to me ("P.J." in Sudbury), over and above trained staff, there is a dog owner working for Air Canada at every cargo location that will always take a special interest and an extra look at each dog being shipped." We have had a good experience shipping with Continental as well. Continental Airlines takes special pride in providing proper facilities and handling for puppies and dogs being shipped via their airline.

Storm, one of our puppies was flown to Edmonton and arrived to the open arms of Avery, age five. See photos.

Weimaraner's Magazine

There is a great 130 page magazine about Weimaraners available at PetSmart stores. Look for the 'Dogs' book rack in the store and then for a magazine called "Weimaraners". Its published by the editors of Dog Fancy Magazine and it is a wonderful source of information about the special requirements of a Weimaraner in terms of care, training and the duties and expectations the dogs and of individuals and families that adopt them. If you purchase a Weimaraner without getting a hold of this magazine, you risk not understanding the special needs of such an energetic, sociable and intelligent dog. You can also buy this magazine one line and read more about the magazine from: DogChannel.com - Weimaraners Magazine. Unlike some dog books that have similar content for all dogs, this magazine was completely written by and with the help of a variety of Weimaraner breeders and experts.

Don't adopt a Weimaraner without knowing what to expect and asking yourself if you can really give your dog the time and attention it needs. Most Weimaraners that end up at Weimaraner Rescue shelters are there because their owners admit they can't give their dog the time and attention it needs, every day.

Mature Dog Description:
Black Bear Farm, Georgian Bay
Reddy Fox - Registered Fox Red Lab


Reddy's May puppies will grow to become gentle, attentive, obedient, tall strong and elegant. Females will grow to about 65 - 75 lbs. and males will grow to about 70 to 80 lbs. Their coat lengths will be about half to three quarters the length of a Lab's coat. Eyes will be amber or light brown. They will not have the anxiety levels of a Weim. They will not run away when walked 'off leash'. They can be easily trained not to pull when walked on a leash despite the fact that we also train them as sled dogs and they learn to pull very well! They are very smart. When we first started breeding, we trained Annie and Avro 'not ' to pull when walked on a leash. Some months later we decided to try them as sled dogs. Now they pull when sledding but they still they know not to pull when walked on a leash :)

Exercise Requirements

GBSD exercise requirements are the same as any large hunting dog. They need twenty to thirty minutes per day off leash plus they need sessions of an hour or more, off leash, two times per week. 'Off leash' means giving them exercise in an area where they can run freely. For every mile you walk they will run circles around you and cover ten to twenty times the distance you cover but they generally stay within fifty yards of you.
