Weimaraners are
a wonderful and loving breed to own.
BUT, WEIMARANERS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE!
To be a good Weimaraner
owner you must be able to stay one step ahead and possess a lot of patience
and a sense of humor. You must be able to spend lots of quality time
with your canine companion and share all aspects of your life.Weimaraners
will accept no less!
Let's face it, for
all you weim owners we know...how many of us are owned by our dogs?
Yes, we thought so.
Weims are very people
oriented and need to feel part of the family. They like to go places
and help with all projects whether their help is needed or not.They
are not a breed that likes to be left outside and are best kept in the
house. They housebreak very easily and despite their size make great
house dogs. Many will often become very happy lounging on your couch
or bed. Most enjoy lying by your feet while you work or read. Weims
feel it is their right to take over your bed. Don't expect to have the
full expanse of your nice cushy bed...you will be lucky to get a small
corner. Oh, and don't even think you'll get your pillow back.
Weimaraners require
a good deal of exercise and entertainment. "A tired Weimaraner
is a happy Weimaraner" As a weim owner, you must set rules and
provide structure for your new friend. Otherwise it will take over.
The breed is very manipulative and intelligent...You Must Be Smarter!
They can be stubborn and hard headed...You Must Be Even More So. Obedience
training and crate training are a must. Weims are prone to separation
anxiety if not properly trained and socialized.
We at Wolf Creek
know and love the breed and can help you decide whether a Weimaraner
is the right dog for you. We carefully place each and every dog in the
right environment. We are a small group of volunteers who are interested
in the welfare of the breed.
When we receive
a dog into our program, we have the dog spayed/neutered, vaccinated,
heart worm checked and parasite checked. We then evaluate each dog and
determine what it needs in home and strive to place it in an environment
that is suitable.
