Owyheestar Weimaraners

Owyheestar Weimaraners has been raising weimaraners on the Nielsen family farm south of Ontario, Oregon, in the high desert of far eastern Oregon near the Idaho border. Cliff and Shela Nielsen are the owners and operators, and the property Cliff grew up on has been the backdrop for the program for decades.

The farm spans approximately 40 acres of prime row-crop land, where Cliff grows alfalfa and where a small seasonal pond gives adult dogs and young pups a place to swim. A dedicated sanctuary area on the property serves as the setting for the Discovery and Placement Test, a structured evaluation used to match each puppy to the right home.

Cliff's connection to the weimaraner stretches back more than sixty years, beginning with a dog gifted to him as a boy by his uncle. After spending much of his adult life breeding Labrador retrievers, he and Shela returned to the weimaraner more than twenty years ago and have focused on the breed exclusively ever since. Cliff is an active member of the Treasure Valley chapter of NAVHDA and trains versatile hunting weimaraners, reflecting the program's field-oriented roots. Families searching for weimaraner puppies in Oregon will find a placement process here that is thorough by design, using an application to ensure each dog lands in a well-matched home.
