Dogs 101 - Weimaraners

I had a weimaraner named Eli for 11 wounded years. Yes, he could be a handful at times, but he was my best friend. I got sick in my early 30's. I was losing time. Turned out I had Epilepsy. Gradually, I began to have grand mal seizures. Eli knew before I was going to have one,so he would jump up on me and make me sit down. He never failed me. When I would wake up, Eli would be laying beside me just watching me. He took great care of me. I lost him to bone cancer when he was 11 . That was one of the greatest losses of my life. I think of him every day, and he's been gone for 7 years. I have another dog and she's great. I didn't get another weimaraner because I already had the best.

Yeah, their anxiety comes from their wanting to protect their owner (they feel afraid when they can't see their owner). The trick is to train them from an early age at separation. Start with just 3 minutes, go out, take a short walk, come back, and give then no attention when you enter the house. Then do it, but a bit longer each time. This will give them the confidence that nothing happens when you leave. This training works on most dogs!

The love I receive from my Weimaraner when I first walk in my door is unmatched... they’re definitely one of the most affectionate breed out there.

I laid my Weimaraner babydoll to rest last week. She was my daughter and the single greatest joy Iv ever had in a dog. The love I have for this breed is entirely based around the love and personality that was her❤️

I've had five Weimeraners, three currently, and I disagree with the high energy. My dogs feed off the energy in the house. If we're low key, they're low key. If we're excited, they're excited. Mine love to be walked but also love to spend a day sitting on the couch, which is more likely to happen. All three do have separation issues, we keep them in crates when we're gone because they've taken to eating toilet paper. Also all three are very allergic and need specialized diets. They're great pets

I remember the Wegman dogs on sesame street as a kid and always found those skits the most memorable and interesting. I was always transfixed on how he got the dogs in those tall outfits. They were so cool and really cemented my love for this breed and the artist aswell. :D His art is just so charming.

10 years ago this coming summer will mark 10 years when our Weimaraner Jack Frost was hit by a car on the highway where we lived at the time. He was about 8-9 months old at the time. The hit didnt kill him but did damage to his back. After leaving him with the vet for a few days, we decided to put him on meds and nurse him back to health. For a few weeks we used a sling to help him lift his back legs. Within a few months he was his old hyper self and I'm proud to say 10 years later he is still with us. Sure he's a handful sometimes. Crying when he wants something, growling when he wants privacy, or barking excessively but its all worth it. Sure he struggles slightly with age such as having some difficulty climbing in or on something but not much. He's still an energetic little fella. Love you Jack.

I have a weim named Baloo and he's honestly the best dog I've ever had. They're truly the breed you never knew you needed

Getting a wiem was the vest thing I have ever done. He is so loving and the sweetest dog ever!

Adopted a weimer after my dog passed away. She is a great addition to the two we already have. They are such loyal companions very smart and easily trained! Thank you Luka for allowing me to be your savior as you have been mine. My husbands is 5 and my daughters is 10 they r still as energetic as my 11/2 yr old. Great dogs.

I had a weimaraner named Sugar and she was the smartest dog I have ever met. weimaraner's are the most lovable dogs

My dog Benjamin is half weimaraner and half chocolate lab. He looks exactly like a weimaraner with amber eyes but his coat is chocolate. He is the goofiest sweetest boy ever. best dog ever 😊

I had one that lived for about 16 years old.

I welcomed this information! Thank you for this wonderful MOMENT with these beautiful and loving beings!🐾💝

Had my 1st Weimaraner Lucy from a pup until she was 12 lovely dog missed her so much. Now have a 4yr old Weimaraner Daisy rescued her when she was 2yrs old, very intelligent dogs. Like any dog you need to have the time and patience to train them and they make great family dogs.

Have had several, everyone was a great friend. Each had a different personality but the common denominator was the love they had for me and my family. I have two now and are 13 and 12 so the will not last long and will leave a big void in our lives when they pass. They are the smartes dogs and are devoted to their family.

My brother had one for 13 years. She thought she was a human being. She was loved and is greatly missed. Rest in peace Cheyenne.

I KNOW!!! Ours was a COUCH POTATO!! She'd cry to go out but then if it was too cold or too hot or too snowy or too rainy or too boring she'd cry to come back in! She preferred a nice cuppa decaf tea and a Stella D'Oro Annisette Toast to any silly athletic activities! She lived to 11 yrs and 21 days and we still miss her every day since she had to leave...

I love my Daisy dog ♥ Weimaraners are the sweets, and she acts like a human! Shes spoiled hehe but she never does anything bad!

They are prone to separation anxiety. I had to babysit for our neighbor's because their boy Coach would eat the furniture. Even with me, he was very stressed out. But he was such a great boy (except when he peed on people).
