I just wanted to take a minute and tell you a little bit about my weim. He has been a ball of joy since day one! He is my best friend, and we literally do everything together. And he gets so bummed if he doesn’t get to go with me when I leave, for something like school or work.
From a little puppy, I worked with him to become the amazing hunting buddy he is today. I’ve trained a couple of dogs before, and none of them were so coachable as him. He’s not perfect, but we are still in some of the training. By next summer he should be on point!!! He has an amazing nose, and I’m amazed by what he’ll find.
He is always happy and loves to go for rides in the truck, bed or in the cab with the windows down. And he starts whining like crazy when we’re getting close to our hunting spots outta excitement.you can tell hunting is in his blood, he’s all smiles and joy when out in the blind, he watches all the birds flying and starts to wag his tail like crazy when they start coming in.
He does an amazing job at retrieving and pointing on birds, he does great in water and loves to be outdoors. He loves hunting!! 4:30 in the morning he’s up and pumped to go hunting and has plenty of energy to hunt all day but when we get home, and its time for bed, he jumps on my bed and turns into a snuggleball and take up most of my bed but I love it.
He has been the best hunting dog, truck passenger, Saturday explorer and most importantly, my best friend. And I’d like to thank you so much for everything you’ve done over at Owyhee Star. You’re my number one choice when getting a dog and always be!! Everyone asks where I got such a beautiful dog and Owyhee Star’s the answer!! Thank you again so much!!
We are thrilled to learn that Trigger is a great Versatile Hunting Dog. Thank you, for the endorsement. It means the world to us. Most of our business comes from repeats or referrals.
Dear Readers, can we ask you a favor. This young man has an incredible business. If you know a serious Waterfowl Hunter, here is a great idea for Christmas. Order a custom duck or goose call from Hunter’s business — Northern Custom Calls.
Natalie Writes–I used to mourn my running days. But today, I won’t take a second for granted! The beautiful sunshine, my four-legged company, and the fact that I can walk.
Trigger loves snow days and taking his sisters to school almost as much. Everyone is buckled in for safety.
There must have been a record number of days that schools closed due to snowfall. At one point I heard someone say they had been out of school (including Christmas break) for 20 days–that was some time back.
Think about how much happiness those pups will bring. I had tears in my eyes this morning as I lay in silence in yoga. They told us to go somewhere safe, think about something that brings us joy. I immediately thought of trigger. How he literally smiles when he sees me, funny things he does, walks we take together, butterflies he tries to catch, when his lips get hooked up on his tooth and how funny that looks. When he sits beside me and looks me in the eyes. I could go on and on. It’s been such a joy to have him. He completes my home and heart.
Hey guys, Geoff and Fallon here with Molly (Mouse x Blue). I have a real brief question for you regarding nail care.
Do you guys have any tips for keeping these weim nails from doing any kind of breaking/fracturing? Molly, being the One-year-old weim she is, has been playing fetch with as much energy as ever. Every couple weeks she will get a good size sliver of nail try to break off or split down toward her paw.
None of them have been too severe, and none of them have slowed her down in the slightest. However, despite trimming them down fairly often in an attempt to prevent it, think just the sheer amount of speed they run and redirect with makes it easy for them to catch their nails on a piece of root or rock and break it.
Thank you for the news of Molly. Sorry to hear you have some splintering going on with her nails. Good nail care is complex and sometimes hard to manage. Here are some general thoughts—not just for you. We hope something here helps.
Nail and Skin are areas you might notice if something is lacking in the diet. We recommend a grain-free diet combined with the NuVet Supplement.
There are products meant to protect the pads and nourish the nails. One of these is called Musher’s Secret.
You might consider adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to the food once a day. It is excellent for the skin and nails. You could rub some into their paws as well.
Make sure the nail clipper is high quality and sharp. A nail grinder is an option; however, there is a learning curve. A well-groomed nail is a must. You can take the Weimaraner to a groomer or your vet office to have a professional trim the nails.
He loves to be right in the mix of things, no matter what’s going on. In the picture with him sitting next to his water bowl, he just finished his meal and is begging for more. He knows his meal times and even now will still stand by his empty bowl, just looking at you like, ‘you’re making dinner, it’s dinner time, where’s my dinner too?’ Lol!
He absolutely loves the boys and they love him too! There was the usual dominance battle in the beginning but he has learned his place and now will play very well with them and (mostly) listen to what they say. Bentley has had excellent health, so a huge thank you for setting him up for wellness when he was a pup! We recently had to get a couple pesky puppy teeth removed that were just not budging and starting to cause some irritation. He sailed through that well. Bentley very much wants to meet and be friends with everyone he sees, always so excited to see new places and faces. In fact, going to see the vet, even if it’s just to pick up more flea/heartworm meds, seems to be his favorite place so far!
The picture of him laying in the sun was taken yesterday, on his first birthday. He enjoys his sunny spots so much. We are very much enjoying having him in our family!
Been an exciting year, and we’re about 2700 miles and 1 year away from where we started. Molly turned 1 today (woohoo, Cinco de Mayo!), along with her litter mates, from Mousse’s last litter. About six months ago I accepted a job offer outside of New York City and we all took a three-day trip across the county. She is now an East Coast pup, but still wakes up at 5am every morning.
Though we are near the big city, we take her out about every weekend for a couple hour hike some trails, and occasionally to a dog park or doggy day care. Shes great around kids, new faces, and new dogs. She is as energetic as always, and every day we complements on her. Not many weims over here, but we are always sure to tell them where to find the best ones:) Shes about 55 lbs now, and we’re wondering about how much more to expect her to grow?
Snapped some pictures during our last park visit, and I always laugh when I see that natural pointing instinct kick in (see pic 1)
Hope you guys are well, I check your site/blog every week or so to see new puppy pics. We are considering getting her a big gray brother in a few years, and if we do I hope you guys are still in the weim biz!
It is great that you were able to relocate easily. Clearly she is well socialized and adjusted. As for her size; she might grow a bit more. She also may not. I think what you see is what you get structurally. She might round out a bit. If she stayed well toned, you might not see any change. Oh–congratulations on the job.
