There can be unforeseen problems with your Weim.  When this happens, get in touch with a reputable breeder, local dog club, veterinarian or a canine behaviorist.    

We see many Weims come into rescue due to a couple starting a new family and the Weim is jealous or not adjusting to the new born baby.  If you are a young couple or person that is thinking about getting a puppy and is thinking about starting a family in the future, prep the puppy for this future family as it grows up.  Take it to day cares and let the puppy play with kids, get tapes of baby sounds         and play it, bring things into the puppies life that would be around kids and let it see that a baby is just another member of the family and not a replacement for the puppy.

Question 4—How do I prepare my Weimaraner for a family in the future?

Weimaraners are naturally curious dogs.  Use this trait to help it bond with the family.  If you find your Weim likes to use their paws to do things, teach it to shake hands.  Get the family involved with teaching the Weim tricks.  If you see that your Weim likes to pick up things, then teach it to pick up items you have dropped—car keys, spoons, shoes, etc.  Make teaching your Weim fun and something that will help you out in your daily lives.

Question 5—Are Weimaraners curious and how do I nurture that trait?

A key factor in a healthy, well adjusted Weimaraner is proper socialization.  It should happen a young age but that doesn’t mean you can’t socialize and adult Weim you’ve just adopted.

Question 6—How can I have a happy well adjusted Weimaraner?

My boys—Andre 4 yrs, Jack 8 yrs, & Shadow 12 yrs.  Kathryn did a beautiful portrait from this photo!  Thank you Kathryn!
