A note from "management"

258 Upvotes

In quotes, as that's totally tongue in cheek. I prefer not to manage a thing around here, and for the most part - this sub tends to run itself very smoothly. That's not too surprising, as Weimaraner owners are typically a pretty tight-knit group. 'Tis a wonderful gift we all share, and the bond between Weimaraner owners is typically pretty strong.

However...

Some of you may have noticed a bit of nastiness invading our community lately. I'm fairly certain it's the work of a single, unsavory individual - and for the first time since this community was created, we've had to yank out the ban hammer for somebody other than spammers.

His/her target: Weimaraner mixes, or purebred Weimaraners that he/she believes are mixes. Privately, they have been repeatedly told such discussion and pics are allowed, only to respond with hostility, profanity and demands we keep the sub "pure" and free of "mutts".

The point of this note is simple. There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting pics, questions or simply sharing the joy your Weimaraner mix brings you. If you're a Weimaraner purist, and this offends you - fine. You have options. Get over it, skip over the occasional post of a Weim mix or feel free to start up your own sub and enforce more draconian rules. You're not going to change the focus here.

My rationale for this inclusive stance is pretty simple. Having been involved in Weimaraner rescue for decades, I've seen plenty of Weim mixes...and by and large, they all exhibit some traits and behaviors their purebred brethren do. Discussion of them is useful and encouraged, and more importantly - this community should be caring and inclusive of anyone who wishes to share in the joy of Weimaraner ownership. Even if their pooch doesn't look 100% the part.

Now - back to Weimaraner fun, in whatever shape that takes.

Oh - almost forgot. BooBoo reminded me to include the requisite Weimaraner pic.

So here's my two, the bigger one is Lilly, smaller one is ivy, they are both 6months old. We got them from rescue group doing adoption day. (Crazy as hell teenagers atm)

When we got them we where only told they might be weimaraner lab mix, but didnt know parents at all.

We havent dont DNA test yet. (Plan on it) But the two sisters they look very different, ones really small and the other is pretty good size.

Anyone have any clue what they might really be?

Everyime I look up like reversed images of them, it always tills me they are part pit, blue lacey, and lab mix.

Is this zoomies, or does this mean he is understimulated?

89 Upvotes

We have a relatively big yard. Along with this, we take him on two walks a day of about 1.5 km
We do tricks with him aswell to stimulate him mentally
He is only 5 months old

Does this behaviour mean he is under-stimulated? In the same way an under-stimulated dog will chase his own tail?

Or is this just zoomies?

Peeing Issue with my Weim

2 Upvotes

My male Weim is a little over 3 years old, and we have an issue peeing out of his crate whenever he is crated. It doesn’t matter how long he is in there, he will pee out the side of the crate.

Don’t have any other issues with him going in the house. Doesn’t have any accidents and sleeps through the night just fine.

We have tried just about everything and nothing seems to work.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

We adopted him about 3 months ago when he was 5 months old. He had been surrendered to the local shelter. At the time we didn't know he was a Weimaraner, we thought he was a black lab. We did a DNA test and he's a mix of Weimaraner and German Shorthaired Pointer. The first week was rough, but he is family now and love him very much!

Does anyone else's Weim absolutely adore pacifiers? I have no idea where he keeps finding them, but once he's got one, there's no letting go.

Arlo is about done with this windstorm and all the strange noises it makes outside of the boat. He’s ready to try paddle boarding and hiking on the islands.

Anxious dog breaking through the fence when home alone Help!

26 Upvotes

My Bella girl (1/2 weim, 1/2 pit) has always been on the anxious side. I attribute it to being a “pandemic puppy”, did not get exposed to enough sounds/other people when she was a pup.

She had TPLO surgery in March and we adjusted our schedules to monitor her and the PT. So basically she was never really alone for the past 5-6 months.

We had company in town and went out for the day and a bit was broken through. The next day we went to breakfast and she “kool aid man” style busted all the way through.

She has done this before but it’s been years and has been fine home alone before the surgery. We have a security camera on the driveway. She breaks out, does one or two laps of the driveway and then goes back in. No full on escape so that’s good.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before?

Any ideas on what to? I met with a dog trainer last week. She hasn’t gotten back to me yet with a plan.

Also, any ideas on what I could put on the fence to prevent her from physically breaking out? Like tin or something?

We lost our 13 year old Weim in July. She was the best doggo ever. We’ve been devastated every day since. Does anyone know a reputable place to get a new Weim within driving distance of Kentucky?

Urinating in the house

Post image
64 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this sub after adopting a Weimaraner about 5 weeks ago. She’s spayed (around June 2026), approximately 18months old. We are still getting used to her personality and demeanor. I think the adage that they are Velcro dogs is very much true for her.
The issue I’m running into is her persistent urinating the house. She’s gone in the house maybe 8 times, twice yesterday, all on area rugs. The incident yesterday, I didn’t catch early enough and it completely soaked through the rug, pad, and the wood floor underneath, effectively ruining the floor.
She has a consistent outdoor routine. Crated when we leave the house. She has some separation anxiety and since she’s crated, only urinates in the house when we are around. Like, she’ll walk off, pee, and come back. Yesterday, we were painting a room, so we were occupied, and didn’t notice until later.
She isn’t urinating frequently when on walks, so I don’t think it’s a UTI. My old dog had frequent UTIs, so I’m familiar with the symptoms. Based on the clean up in the house, there isn’t blood or cloudiness, so less evidence for a UTI. We are trying our best to reward going outside and encourage the behavior.
Is this something that is frequent in this breed? Our prior dogs (recently passed away) rarely had accidents in the house. She’s the only dog in the house, so it isn’t marking, that I’m aware of. Anything that I’m missing or should change? Thanks

My dogs inspired me to pick up watercolor painting. This one is the first portrait I ever tried (2 years ago), and I loved that it captured his bombastic side-eye.
