    Weimaraners are not as neat and tidy as they look!

    How dirty are they? Let me count the ways….

    • They will roll in anything, poop, dead carcasses, you name it.
    • They’ll swim through swamp water, no problem.
    • They love furry creatures, you know, like skunks.
    • Before you can shriek “leave it!” they’ll manage to swallow almost anything – whatever someone dropped on the street, the cat’s poop, pieces of your shoes… Sticks and rocks are particularly popular, and eating their own poop is not unheard of.
    • Chewing your stuff isn’t enough, you’ll have nose art on the windows and your baseboards will have the “weathered look.”

    All I can say is, crate train. It’s for their own safety and to keep the market value of your house up. Oh yeah, and for your own sanity.

      Hello! I love your page, thanks for all the great articles. My weim is 4 and has always had an obsession with blankets (chewing blankets specifically). She was crate trained and has next to no separation anxiety which is great, now she roams freely in the house and sleeps on our couch. She never destroys anything now. But she has to have a blanket with her to sleep, even in the summer. Otherwise she whines and moans all night, or turns to shredding the couch cushions (making her own nest out of stuffing and fabric scraps). We take the blanket away during the day but it inevitably develops holes and more holes until we throw it away and replace. My question is – what type of fabric would be the best for her next blanket? I worry about her teeth and also the small amount of fabric she is probably ingesting as well. Or should we try and train this (very hardwired) habit out of her?

        If you can live with the habit, I probably wouldn’t bother trying to train that out of her. My dogs will sometimes do that too. If I don’t remove everything and make them hang out in their crate with nothing, the compromise for me is to go buy fleece by the yard and just throw them away when they have too many holes.
        It could also be that your dog is a nooker and not doing it to be destructive.

    JW’s Dog Toy Recommendations

    Orbee Ball. Need we say more? If your dog loves to play ball, this is a major upgrade from her old stinky tennis ball!

    GoDog toys with ChewGuard: Roadkill, Mr. Monkey with “pullable” arms, Toughskin rhino, and the stretchy moose. All these guys take a beating and keep on kicking. The monkey stood up to 4 puppies and 2 big dogs playing tug with it!

    Zogoflex Hurley, Huck, and Tux are great toys that our dogs love to chase, roll, and bounce. The Bumi (a thinner, “S” shaped tug toy) went south thanks to my sister’s pit mix. They do have a good guarantee for a one-time replacement or refund, so always worth looking into!
