A note from "management"

257 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.

Anxious dog breaking through the fence when home alone Help!

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?

Sweet dreams, good boy ❤️

Urinating in the house

Post image
61 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.

This has been such a fun progression with Arlo! He just turned one last month and he is a rescue we adopted at the end of January. He had no obedience training and was a beast to walk on a leash when we first adopted him. He is now 80 lbs and walks like a gentleman on leash and does really well with all his verbal and hand signal commands. When we hit a long clear spot on the trail I have been dropping his leash and only using verbal signals like in this video. He got a little spunky at the end to tell mom she wasn’t switching directions with us. 😂

Beau will be making his away across the country soon to his forever home and though we're sad, we're excited about the amazing life he's going to have.
