A note from "management"

264 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.

Le compré estos platos a rocco mi perrito de 2 meses, tiene un problema serio con el tema de la comida. Come todo en menos de 60 segundos y no respira el ABSORBE como aspiradora su comida y se atraganta todo. Nunca tuve un perro que coma de la manera que come rocco. Algún otro tipo para mejorar ? Le compré estos platos para probar cuál funciona mejor

Help! Which toys for Christmas? *going blind*

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

My boy is only 5 and going a bit blind. Thrown sticks he only sees in sunlight, with balls he needs his nose for support to locate them in the grass.

He loves fetching and chewing on his glow in the dark chuck it balls (the dawg ones are bigger and brighter), jolly ball is also quite big. But I worry if he'll like it. He loved frisbee too, but laying on the ground (he missed seeing it) he takes forever to find it.

The rope ball I am stressing about a bit. He is a bit all over toys - if you walk with them - and gets nibbly/mouthy. He also likes the end of the stick/rope I am holding best and will sometimes get my hand (he doesn't bite, just between his teeth, he is a sweetie) mixed up.

Has anyone other ideas? Or experience? Or a blind playful weim?

edit: i hate squeaky toys, will use one for recall when his condition worsens. he is an off leash dog that only gets treats during train rides and while being a companion to my horse. I started some scent work, but he has to figure out to use his nose over his eyes and gets frustrated easily. so treats are my last resort.

Certified dog trainer, assisting client with rehoming

Post image
107 Upvotes

Hello, I am a certified dog trainer based out of Connecticut USA assisting a client with the process of rehoming their eight-year-old neutered Weimaraner. I have been calling and emailing rescues, breeders and bird dog kennels in the area as well as posting on local forums. Ideally, we would prefer to do a private rehome. Our other option would be surrendering him to a foster based rescue, which we do not want to do until we have exhausted on other options.

‼️🚨Help find Jojo a home! After some very long conversations and many nights of thought, Jojo’s family has decided it would be best to find him a new home. Please share and comment any potential leads!

☹️💙Saying goodbye to your best friend is never an easy decision and is always one highly respected in my eyes. Understanding you aren’t able to provide what a dog may need and making a decision to better set them up for success is one of the most selfless decisions somebody could make. Any judgment will be ignored and deleted. Potential leads or foster based rescue recommendations are always appreciated.

🐾🦴🐕Jojo is an eight year-old neutered male Weimaraner looking for an active home that understands the needs of working breed dogs. He is loving, thoughtful, loves meeting new people and being close to his family.

🐕‍🦺🏡Jojo would do best in a home with:

-an active single person
-an active couple with no children
-an older couple with no children or younger grandchildren
-homes with dog savvy children over 8, dog savvy cats and other dogs may be considered on a case by case basis.

A behavior write up for Jojo is available upon request. Serious inquiries can be directed to my email jackierye13@gmail.com

-Jojo would do best in a home with no young children due to his size and energy levels. He has never shown aggression towards children but has shown discomfort towards babies and toddlers manifesting in avoidant behaviors and vocalizations.
-Jojo has lived with cats and has been deemed selective. Homes with cats may be considered depending on multiple factors.
-Jojo is dog reactive, homes with other dogs may be considered depending on multiple factors.

The rehoming process is being conducted and monitored by a certified dog trainer. Potential adoption meet and greets will be facilitated by the trainer with assistance from the family. Any prior visits before finalizing the rehoming process will be assisted by the trainer. Jojo will come home with two free dog training sessions from me as well as significantly discounted follow up sessions. If Jojo is adopted out of my service area, a different qualified and credentialed trainer can be located for you upon request.

Allergies

37 Upvotes

Hi guys, looking for advice. We are dealing with some severe allergies with my blue boy. He gets swelling and blisters mostly on his back paws, but occasionally on his mouth. He licks the paws to the point of infection. He has been on a total of 5 rounds of antibiotics, which only cleared the areas around the mouth. He was on Apoquel for 7 months with no change. We moved onto cytopoint, again, no change. Antibiotics intermittently when infection comes back. Antibiotics definitely bring down the swelling, but sores remain and often bleed when playing. Skin Scraping and viewing under microscope shows bacteria consistent with chewing and licking paws. He started on hills science large breed - chicken protein. We have since changed to salmon protein, no change in skin condition. Referral was placed to dermatology, but no openings until January. We accepted the appointment and called around. This is genuinely the closest appointment we can find. My poor lovey is miserable and I don’t know how to help him. He is such a lovebug and I hate to see him with pain or bothersome issues.
Do you have any suggestions while I’m waiting for our derm appointment?

Ohio hoarding situation

30+ Weimaraners Rescued from Horrific Hoarding Situation in Ohio

More than 30 Weimaraners were reportedly found locked in a single room in Ohio, many suffering from serious skin conditions and injuries, including missing ears and toes. It's heartbreaking to imagine what these dogs have endured.

Several rescues have stepped up to help, including:

-Louisville Weimaraner Rescue

-Arkansas Weimaraner Rescue

- Wonder Weims Rescue

I'm sure there are other wonderful rescues helping behind the scenes as well so please feel free to add those in the comments below.

These organizations could really use some support as they take on the enormous task of getting these dogs healthy and into loving homes. Whether it's a donation, supplies, fostering, or simply **sharing their Facebook posts**, every little bit helps.

Please consider supporting these rescues and helping spread the word. These dogs have been through enough and deserve a chance at a better life. ❤️🐾
