Please adopt. Tarheel Weimaraner Club http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=1&pet.Shelterid=NC26&preview=1. They have a few young dogs on the website! These dogs are needing homes, why would you want to get one from a breeder?

3/21/2006 10:59:26 PM

I'm in search of one of these dogs in the near future as well.

are these dogs good with cats??? it looks like everyone they have listed on the website says that they arent and we already have a cat.

the youngest one on there is 15 months. i want one that i can have a real impact on the early training. i'm pretty particular about habits dogs (and people ) have.

3/22/2006 9:18:32 PM

these dogs get huge and strong as hell
hope you know what you getting before you buy it
they are good dogs, but i suspect impulse buys here

3/22/2006 9:22:58 PM

They're good dogs, very loyal and sweet. The one i know is good with cats. She is very strong though, and don't get one if you don't plan on spending a lot of time with it. From what i understand, they tend to get really attached to their owner, and get neurotic when they aren't around (ie. chewing on furniture, eating any food within reach including whole loaves of bread)

yeah, they are really needy and clingy, esp if you work and are out of the house for like 8 hrs a day it will be going crazy by the time you get home...at least that's what happened with the one i lived with over the summer when I rented a room in a house where the owner had a weimaraner.

I've had several weims and love 'em. They are suited for a specific type of person however.

Mine have always hated cats(instinctive hunting dog) and needed to be run daily. This isnt the type of dog that you leave in the back yard all day unattended or in the house. They are smart and can be very destructive. They are needy and clingy at times and aloof others. They aren't a passive member of the family.

Its the closest thing to having children.

that's the only dog that has accidentally injured me, almost broke my arm as I was walking her into the kennel, she ran back out the door when the dogs started barking and slammed my arm/elbow against the steel doorframe. Bruised as hell. They are strong and a little wild, but if you know how to train a dog and give it the proper excercise they are great pets. Good luck!

pigkilla - i'm trying to be as responsible and plan as much as i can, but i am still a stupid college kid, eh. working on fixing that.

memo- yes, that's why i want a young one. thanks for saying what i meant

eestudent - i wouldn't get a dog at all if i were going to be gone 8 hours in a row, that's mean.

poison nut - people who leave dogs outside don't count as dog owners to me . and i hate cats too, so we're perfect for each other =) and passive family members aren't family members neither. you speak the truth.

elise - you're lucky, or not a klutz like i am. i have definitely broken teeth playing with my other puppies! and kennels boooo

i'm so opinionated, wow.

3/23/2006 9:06:53 PM

p.s. thanks for your comments everyone

3/23/2006 9:07:25 PM

My family has a 9 year old weimaraner and she's great. She's definitely intelligent and is emotionally attached the owners. She knows everybody's name in my family and will run to the person anywhere in the house on command. Plus, she gets the newspaper every morning.

DO plan on not working when you graduate? THe dramatic change of being home a lot for the first 3-4 years then suddenly going off to work will be very traumatic for the weimaraner and your house.

How about one that you can have a real impact on by, I dunno... saving its life?! Rescue or adopt. 15 months is not too late to totally shape behavior.

does it really matter? a fucking dog is going to get an owner either way. it all balances out in the end.

Would you rather get a used car or a brand new car for the same price?

I'm all for adoption, but sometimes you wanna start fresh.

At Franklin County Animal Control- uses a gas chamber for method of euthanasia. Please rescue this boy! Rescued dogs are the best. Give him a chance at a good life.

Yeah, it does matter. If pupy mills and breeders have a reduced number of customers buying their dogs because people are adopting rescues then they will reduce their breeding frequency to not be "overstocked" (you know, supply/demand).

The whole "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is BS btw.

You can totally obedience train an older dog. People do it all the time. My 11 yr old dog is learning new stuff from watching us train our puppy.
