"Mark of the Hound" or "Bi Color Tan" as they are officially called in The Weimaraner Standard are puppies that carry a recessive gene that cause these unusual markings that appear simular to the markings of a Doberman. This is the look that the Weimaraner's of the beginning had. It is called the "mark of the hound" or "dobi marked" or even "bi color". It comes from the hound in the foundation stock used in developing the breed and originally all Weimaraner's had this coat coloring. It was favored to breed to get the all silver or gray coat that we all know today. This trait is a recessive trait and both parents must carry it in order to produce it. Most breeders "do away" with these puppies rather then let it be known that they are out there. We feel that these puppies are just as great of pets and might have the better hound nose for hunters so we sell them at a reduced rate of the all silver puppies.
