I find that this 20 mo old male has Champion Bloodlines:

Champion Bloodlines are the two most ill-used words in any dog
advertisement. They are also meaningless words. How many Champions in a
five generation pedigree; how far back in the pedigree are they? How many
OFA certified dogs in the pedigree? What kind of Champions? Field? Show?
This is a Backyard bred dog who will make an excellent pet, but is hardly a
well-bred Champion...

PS: What is a pro-breeder?

Typically, "pro" means "professional", ie: a breeder who can
make a living breeding dogs. In other words, a puppy mill.

I don't think the poster meant "pro" in this sense, though. In
context, I think s/he meant "knowledgeable".

I suppose that's what the OP intended to convey. However if
you look at the web site from which he's trying to sell this
dog (http://www.weimaraner.inkjot.com/) you'll see that he
came from a pet shop and his parentage is "Ruger VII x Zena
III". That ought to be enough to tip off the knowledgable that
"pro breeder" is almost certainly the correct categorization
in this case.

In the context of the post I was responding to, though, the OP
was thanking a "pro-breeder" for help with reading pedigrees. I
assumed s/he was referring to Christy (not a pro-breeder or even
a breeder), for her help in explaining Roman numerals.

But, to agree with you on everything else, I think the OP hasn't
evolved much past pond scum.
