QUESTION: Just rescued about a 6 month old Weimaraner that was left on our road. She is very very leary of people. Any suggestions on why and how to fix this would be greatly appretiated.

Weimaraner's are a skiddish breed to begin with. She should start to calm down and be more receptive with ALOT of TLC, treats and quality time with you and your family. Don't yell or scream at her. Above all do not use any type of physical force or restraint. Be very patient and she will come around. Let me know how she is doing.
I hope things owrk out.

Feed your weim at the same time everday around 8:00am and 5:00pm they like order in ever thing !
Anonymous - 1/17/2012 5:16:47 PM
One thing to consider is your Weimaraner is still a pup which is a plus, because getting rid of those aggressive habits early will be much easier. My two weims were both very aggressive at that age. I don't know if your interested in breeding him, but one option to relieve that aggressive characteristic would be to get him neutered. Also, he won't feel the need to mark his territory on all your furniture in the next several months...learned from experience. It makes them a lot more calm, but just as playful and loyal as before the vet visit.

QUESTION: We just adopted a Weimaraner from the animal shelter, she is approx 12weeks old and has no history on her or her parents. After being home for a few days she started showing signs of knuckling. We had our first vet appointment the same day and the vet told us to feed her Large Breed puppy food 3 times a day. The knuckling became worse. After some research and talking to other folks who have had the same issue with their puppies, it seems I should actually feed my Weim 2 times a day eating regular puppy food. It's only been 4 days since feeding her like this and it seems like it's getting better. BUT my question is.... What is actually correct? How can I help my Weim at home to get better? I have 2 weeks to go till her next vet appointment... Any help is appreciated!

Hi it sounds like your Weimaraner puppy might have HOD, she needs to be on an adult low fat/calorie food in order to prevent an HOD flare (which is awful). My 7 month old weim has HOD and has gone through two flares, everything you feed her has to be low fat so that her growth will slow down. Another concern could be pano which feeding a low fat food also helps. If she does have HOD and goes into a flare (not eating, drinking, can't stand or walk, high fever) make sure your vet puts her on prednisone right away it's the only medication that works for weims. Absolutely no puppy food, it is too fatty for a pup who is growing too quick. Luckily if she does have it she will grow out of it! Good luck!

We have one weimeraner who loves to drink water also. But you must be careful not to let them drink to much because weimeraners are known for bloating.
Anonymous - 1/8/2012 2:36:35 PM
We have 2 weims, a 5 year old blue and a 4 year old grey, and the grey has consistently been a heavy water drinker. How long have you had your blue? If the heavy drinking of water is a new thing, she may need her blood glucose checked, but if it's something that is ongoing I wouldn't worry.

PLEASE,don't take offence to my response if you need to ask this question maybe you shouldn't be breeding.There's alot of knowledge that goes into not only the care of mother & puppies including the correct imprinting & socialization just to name a few but knowing whether both dogs in question should in fact be bred to begin with.It always sounds like alot of fun,or maybe a way to make a quick buck but in the long run it's the puppies that end up paying the price when good intended breeding goes bad.Those issues aside breeding age for the male shouldn't be before 1.5years allowing time to mature especially his hips reducing the chance for injury which will cause painfull issues as he grows older.Breeding is serious not to you or myself but to the puppies & their families.If you do decide to do this please educate youself on both sides male and female issues,it's the right thing The best of luck

My 12 week old Weim eats Natural Balance Original Ultra Premium Dog Food. This brand has 23% protein and 13% fat. (we initially had her eating Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy food but the protein and fat contents were higher so we changed her to Natural Balance). We had no issue with our Weim with the change in food... She seems to love the taste of both).

If 2 weimaraners were bred then the only result would be a litter of weimaraners. It sounds as though she got pregnant from another dog.

QUESTION: I recently rescued a puppy from an abusive home. Apparently they "found" Sienna Michelle(my pupper's name), and have no idea what her "background" is. Have had a couple people approach me and mention this breeds name. However, everything fits, but her eye/hair color. She is burnt and raw sienna, white on her chest, with a amber colored eye. Are there weimaraner's that fit this description?

You forgot to mention if your particular weimaraner has four legs and a tail or not. Because if Sienna does possess these traits, I saw one urinating on a tree in the park that is down the street from the clown college. If I see it again, I'll ask the owner if it is a weimaraner or not.

we've raised our weim since she was 2 months old and we did lots of training....she is very calm but knows when we play ball she can run and run also we walk her 3 miles but the best thing is to never let him do something you dont want him to do even if it is really cute because they will remember that you let him do it before.

Your Weimaraner must have been really nervous about being in a new enviroment. He is a PUPPY and very much enjoying his new home!! I thought he might be sick, but we were given vet records with clear health. He is fine now, wish he was alittle calmer!! LOL

My dad has had weimaraners before and my first actual weim just died two weeks ago. he was a very calm dog. he didnt bark and he didnt run around the house. all he did was lay on the couch and sleep. honestly, you should be blessed to have a calm weimaraner. you are very lucky. however, we did walk him every day and sometimes twice a day without a leash. so just make sure you take him out for walks. we just got a girl on the 28th of august, 2011 and she is very hyper when she is not sleeping. so it really depends on the dog.

Exercise your Weimaraner often. These dogs need a lot of exercise.
Anonymous - 9/16/2011 1:46:07 PM
My husband and I have a 1 year old Weim and we also crate trained. By taking them out of the crate everytime they bark, you are reinforcing that they can come out if they bark. Basically, you are reinforcing the "barking" behavior. Excessive barking can also be a sign of bordem, or lack of critical thinking. I learned all of this by reading a book called "The Weimaraner" by Diane Morgan. I found it in PetCo.

Start training right away. Weimaraner's are willing to learn anything to please you. As long as you are active and take her out every day to drain her energy you should be fine. Weimaraner's love to run around in large open places, so if you have a big fieds [fenced in if you dont trust her not to run away] then try doing that as well as walks.
