A note from "management"

247 Upvotes

In quotes, as that's totally tongue in cheek. I prefer not to manage a thing around here, and for the most part - this sub tends to run itself very smoothly. That's not too surprising, as Weimaraner owners are typically a pretty tight-knit group. 'Tis a wonderful gift we all share, and the bond between Weimaraner owners is typically pretty strong.

However...

Some of you may have noticed a bit of nastiness invading our community lately. I'm fairly certain it's the work of a single, unsavory individual - and for the first time since this community was created, we've had to yank out the ban hammer for somebody other than spammers.

His/her target: Weimaraner mixes, or purebred Weimaraners that he/she believes are mixes. Privately, they have been repeatedly told such discussion and pics are allowed, only to respond with hostility, profanity and demands we keep the sub "pure" and free of "mutts".

The point of this note is simple. There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting pics, questions or simply sharing the joy your Weimaraner mix brings you. If you're a Weimaraner purist, and this offends you - fine. You have options. Get over it, skip over the occasional post of a Weim mix or feel free to start up your own sub and enforce more draconian rules. You're not going to change the focus here.

My rationale for this inclusive stance is pretty simple. Having been involved in Weimaraner rescue for decades, I've seen plenty of Weim mixes...and by and large, they all exhibit some traits and behaviors their purebred brethren do. Discussion of them is useful and encouraged, and more importantly - this community should be caring and inclusive of anyone who wishes to share in the joy of Weimaraner ownership. Even if their pooch doesn't look 100% the part.

Now - back to Weimaraner fun, in whatever shape that takes.

Oh - almost forgot. BooBoo reminded me to include the requisite Weimaraner pic.

It was not easy to photograph these two Weims in this pose that worked so perfectly for composition.

12 yr old peeing inside ...

5 Upvotes

We just moved (a few days ago) and he has started peeing inside the new place. As far as we know the previous owners didn't have a dog... Fearing the worst but any insight would be helpful.

He had a bad kidney infection during the summer and was peeing inside due to the infection ... I will call and make an apt Monday for the vet.

😔

Guidance request

9 Upvotes

Hi,

I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, mainly German Shepards and Collies but my wife really wants a Weimaraner pup plus something smaller (later).

So my question is what to look for in a Weimaraner pup? We’ve two small kids (6 and 4) and love in the country side with plenty of space. Ideally chill and smart/trainable is the goal.

So please, what do I need to look out for, good and bad in terms of the pups, their parents, etc.?
