A Club for the development,
improvement and Welcome The BWCA
was created to protect, promote, and advance the best interests and welfare
of the purebred blue Weimaraner, and to continue to bring their natural
qualities to perfection This is a club for people who above all love the color of the blue Weimaraner and the formation of it has been in the hearts and minds of a few of us for some time. Frustrated by the prejudice against and misinformation about blues, the most difficult aspect in forming the club has been determining the direction we will eventually take. We want to educate and encourage those choosing to breed blues to do so responsibly and ethically. We also want to encourage breeders and owners alike to participate in activities with their blues. We want to return the blue coat color to equal status with the silver/gray Weimaraners. In essence we are encouraging all of you to come out and get involved with your blues in as many ways as possible. We will create a registry for the blue Weimaraner within this club. We also hope to eventually have competitive and social events to showcase our blues. We hope to include as many blue owners, breeders and those who just love the blue color to join us in this endeavor. Our first challenge is to request the WCA to grant a petition or vote to remove the DQ from the blue coat color. In addition, we are requesting a split of the Open Class between the blue and gray colored dogs. Our hopes are high that our request will be granted but in reality the chances are unlikely that the WCA would ever allow the disqualification of the blue coat color to be rescinded. We have determined that the AKC is not allowing ‘variety’ status within breeds. Therefore, if we are not granted a vote, or are voted down, we may be looking at establishing a new breed at some point in the future. We welcome your thoughts, participation and suggestions.
