My No Game

by JustWeims on August 31, 2010

Don't be mad; I want to be good!

I play a game with myself whenever I get a new puppy. How long can I go without having to tell the pup “NO”?

This game comes from some great advice I was given when I got my first Weim puppy: Don’t set your puppy up for failure. (Errr…. were you expecting some miracle advice? ;-) [...]

by JustWeims on August 25, 2010

Riley posing with his dinner (and wondering why mom is making him do this)

It’s a simple question, but there is no simple answer: What is the best food to feed your Weim?  Quality, cost, time are all factors that play into the decision, and of course the needs of your individual dog.

Let me just get this out from the beginning.  I feed a raw diet (raw meat, bones [...]

The worst nightmare -- an accident with your Weims in your vehicle. Photo courtesy of Lee Meadows.

Alright, so I know having your Weim ride shotgun with ears flapping in the wind, taking in all the outside smells is a pretty fun way to travel especially in the summer, but I’m going to be a little bit of a downer here.

August 17, 2010
Not another bath!

By Mindy Brown 

A couple of weeks ago, we started to notice that our Weim was having what appeared to be some sort of allergic reaction.  It started as a few bumps along the base of his neck down his back.  We shrugged it off at the time and gave him some Benadryl, assuming he got [...]

Rab is Curious

It’s a typical scenario. You get one Weim, and you actually survive without going totally crazy. Then, you know you are truly a nut when you decide you just can’t have one, at which point I say, “Welcome to the asylum!”

All kidding aside, it is fairly common to see multiple Weim households. I have three myself [...]

Since I don’t live in Michigan to get their local PBS, all I can say is, ya gotta love the internet. Michigan Out of Doors recently aired a piece on NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association), a training and testing organization for versatile hunting dogs, which include Weimaraners.

I Went to the Dodds Seminar and You Didn’t (But I’m Sharing!)

August 2, 2010
A photo just because (Indy 9 yo with son Sascha 3 yo)

Where do I start?  Well first of all, for those that are not familiar with Dr. Dodds, she is THE authority on immune disorders, thyroid disease and nutrition in dogs.  There was so much excellent information shared at this seminar, it is actually a bit difficult for me to summarize it in a neat package… [...]
