Testimonials

Having been a previous Weimaraner owner, we knew we wanted another. Paula searched and found Camille Rice on this website. Camille is very meticulous about her blood lines and breeds for natural hunting ability, exactly what we were looking for. Camille even helped us along in the training process so we could complete the AKC junior hunter and NAVHDA natural ability field tests. Camille is dedicated not only to her personal dogs, but also the pups she sells and the breed. We could not have asked for more, and look forward to getting another pup from her. If you are looking for a phenomenal hunting dog, with a breeder that cares, Timberdoodle Weimaraners is the place to contact!

I have known Camille for a few years and she helped me with health questions from my previous weimaraner, who had seizures. She was a great hunting dog (upland, waterfowl, blood track). I knew my next puppy would be from Cam after I had the opportunity to see her dogs run a few times. We picked up Lowgun last August and we hit the ground running. I decided to go with all wild birds (grouse/woodcock) for his first hunting season to see what he would do. He exceeded my expectations with his range in the grouse woods and SHOCKED me when he had his first grouse point at 4 months when I was hunting him alone. It was in an area I was not expecting a grouse and I actually answered a phone call, DOH! I lost my other weim suddenly in November and Lowgun and I were hunting alone in December grouse season. His first December grouse season we were able to team up and he again held on a grouse and I was able to connect and Logun made a great retrieve as it buried itself in the snow. . . a great moment for us as it was about 100 yards from where I buried my other weim.

He did great on some pen raised birds during the off season and just finished his NAVHDA NA test last week with a Prize I 112!! He is also a great family dog as we have two young boys 6/3 that he plays with nicely.

I also decided to have him trained at Pine Hill Kennels for 30 days in July and Justin was very impressed with him, loved the way he handles in the field and also had him in the grouse woods 3 days a week and said he did well. I am looking forward to a great grouse season with him. Camille is breeding some great weims and our next weim will be from her.

My husband, Brad and I met Camille while attending a dog obedience class. We had our GSP, Remi Lea, in dog class and Camille had her Weim, Blue. Camille informed us about the GSP Club of Michigan. She was a wealth of knowledge and experience. She helped us tremendously; taking time from her very busy schedule to help us train Remi (more so train the 2 of us) in preparation for JH and NRD tests we entered Remi in.

We had been talking about getting a second hunting dog (hubby is an avid hunter from deer to upland and waterfowl birds) and we knew exactly what we wanted and where we wanted to get the pup from – Camille Rice/Timberdoodle Weimaraners. We were very impressed with Camille’s Weims. These Weims are exceptional in all facets of hunting and they are a joy to be around because their temperaments are of a loving nature and wanting to please.

We were fortunate to have acquired a Timberdoodle pup – Timberdoodle Razmataz Jaz. She is a wonderful addition to our ‘fur’ family and Remi and Jaz are the best of ‘buds’. She was very easily house broke. At 3 1/2 months old, she was performing water retrieves with no problem at all. In the Fall, she was out there hunting with the ‘big’ dogs and having the time of her life. Around 10 months old she was hunting like a pro and holding point and what a beautiful site it is to see a bird dog on point – gives me goosebumps everytime.

I took Jaz to dog obedience class when she was 9 1/2 months old (6 week course) and she took 1st place out of 10 dogs in class. The weekend just prior to the final exam in dog obedience, I entered her in her very first (and my first) Junior Hunt test and she passed both days with very high scores. She has the wonderful natural ability to do with style and ease what she was bred for.

I highly recommend Camille’s Weimaraners to anyone whom is looking for an exceptional hunting ‘partner’ with a wonderful temperament and joy to have a part of the ‘family’. I also cannot say enough about Camille and the time she devotes to helping her puppy owners (and non-puppy owners) in training and just over-all giving good advice.

I have previously owned a Weim and have hunted them as well as sucessfully ran them in both AKC and NAVHDA hunt tests.

When I first met Camille Rice and was introduced to the Timberdoodle Weims, I was very impressed. Camille has a great knowledge of the breed and is very dedicated to producing a great line hunting Weims. Camille is very committed to the success of the Weim breed which is shown in the awsome litters that she has produced in past years.

I am privileged to have a 1-1/2 year old Timberdoodle Weim named Sonne. Sonne by far has been a dream for me and my family. I have never owned a Weim that has had more natural ability to hunt and retrieve than Sonne. At seven months I was hunting Sonne in the field and was working on his third leg of Junior Hunter.

Sonne is definately a family dog too. My two young children would not trade him for anything. My wife was very pleased with how easy it was to train Sonne in both the home and obedience.

I would highly recommend Camille Rice and her Timberdoodle Weims to anyone that is looking for a great family dog as well as phenomenal hunting companion.

We purchased our Weimaraner from Timberdoodle Weimaraners in June 2006. Since we’re not a hunting family Bruno who will turn 2 years old in April has amazed us beyond anything we could have imagined. He has the best temperent of any dog we have ever owned and with small grandchildren that’s a requirement. He allows the babies to crawl all over him, pull his ears and tail and even take his bones and toys. What surprised us the most was his hunting instincts. His breeder offered to keep him last spring for a week while we were on vacation. They took him along to hunt with their dogs and he did so well that other members of the group didn’t believe that this dog was a companion dog and had never hunted before. After learning of his natural hunting instincts, which we now see on our daily walks and runs, we decided see if he could earn his Junior Hunters Title so again his breeder, Camille Rice offered to run him in the field (since we don’t know what we’re doing) and he passed with flying colors. In one of the categories he got a perfect score of 10 while some other dogs with training didn’t pass. To see a dog with this natural hunting ability almost makes us feel bad that he’s in a companion home…almost that is, we wouldn’t trade him for the world. We didn’t know the breeder prior to purchasing Bruno and live a good distance away but we keep in close touch as they are interested in how all the pups are doing. If we were hunters Bruno would be in heaven because you can see he loves it so much but we know that he’s happy and loves us and we try to take him to Camille’s as often as possible so he can hunt with them.

I was put in contact with Camille Rice a few years ago when I decided on getting a Weimaraner. I had never owned a bird dog before and had probably been bird hunting maybe twice in my life. When Kodi had the pup’s Cam invited my wife and I to her house to see my future pup. From that moment on I knew that Weims were my breed and Cam was my breeder. Even before I picked up “Taser” I probably sent Cam 20 email’s with all kinds of silly questions and she answered every one of them! At 3 months we had a Weimaraner picnic and we put the pup’s on birds for the first time. Taser tracked and pointed the bird like she had been doing it for years. Taser earned her Junior Hunter without a problem. While preparing for the NAVHDA test Cam took time from her own busy schedule and met with me several times for training.

Being new to the dog training world I was nervous for the NAVHDA test. Cam drove up to Traverse City on her own time (3.5 hour drive) just to be there with me and provide guidance. Taser had a perfect score going into the final event but do to extreme weather conditions we struggled a bit. Taser still ended up with a prize 3 and I was extremely proud of her. I don’t get to train with Taser as much as I would like but every time we hit the field she never misses a beat.

I have a 9 year old daughter and an 11 year old son and Taser is great with them. They play all of the time and when the kids are in the yard Taser sits at the door and watches over them. She is such an important part of our family.

I can’t say enough about Timberdoodle Weimaraners and Camille Rice. I am so pleased with them, I am already waiting for a pup from their next litter.

Anyone that is interested in a Timberdoodle pup feel free to call me or I will even show what a great dog Taser is and how much fun she is to be around. Thanks Cam for a great dog!!!

Camille is an excellent breeder of hunting lines! I have two phenomenal bird dogs from her kennel. Willow and Aspen both have excellent noses and extraordinary temperaments! They are both quick learners and can find any upland bird with ease! I know I can call Camille any time with questions about the care and maintenance of the breed.

Recently purchased Timberdoodle Bella. She is 7 months as of Nov. 29th Extremely good temperment in household with children. Dog is now solid on point and was showing flash points at 3 months. Bella has hunted and pointed pheasants at 7 months, grouse and woodcock at 6 months. Very easily trained. Is holding staunch on point with no training. I base this on 95% genetics and 5% of what I have put into training. Breeders (Matt and Cam) have also been able to help with any questions. I plan on running Bella in JH in Spring and NAVDHA in Fall. If I could do it all over again. I would choose two pups from Timberdoodle Kennels instead of just one. Bella is a wonderful companion and a very efficient hunter for her age. I would confidantly refer Timberdoodle Kennels to my closest friends with no hesitations.
