| Anyone have Wiemeriners?? Don't know if I spelled it correctly. Anyhow, there is a lady selling hers due to her allergies. She is Reg, and a very gorgeous animal. I have always wanted one b/c they are so beautifully colored and those blue eyes!! I got a pic today!!! My question is to those who own them. How are they with kids and small dogs?? How is there temperment? She is an outside dog, but sooner or later she will meet Harley, and my girls. Any help would be appreciated!!!

| My cousin has two of them but I really can't comment on how they are with kids because she doesn't have any. They each have totally different personalities too so I would guess you'd just have to introduce them to the kids and other dogs and see how it goes. I agree though.... they are beautiful dogs. My cousin's Weimers are huge couch potatoes!

| I don't own one but my boyfriend has always wanted one so I was checking into rescue and this is what I learned. Being that they are hunting dogs they often have an extremely high prey drive, meaning they don't do well around small animals. Obvisiously, not every individual is going to, but it's something that I noticed about the dogs in rescue, many of them were not recommended for homes with small pets. |

| My friend has a Weimereiner and she is a big dumb lover girl. And when I say dumb, I mean DUMB She's very very sweet and just wants to please. She mostly lays around the house, but I've heard that some of them are very active.

| I grew up with them.. My children have been growing up with them. My parents have always had one. Theirs dieds at 14 about 3 years ago and they have not replaced him yet. They are GREAT with kids.. My son use to ride on him! I (and this is not to be repeated) went outside one day as a very young child and the dog would not stop licking me.. My mother said that she kept telling the dog no and to leave me alone, but since they love kids he would not. She said the next thing she knows the dog is yelping and I am hooked (by teeth) to the end of his nose.. He did nothing to me.. Just sit there and cried until my mom made me release him.. I feel so bad know as a grown up, but I guess since he was so big I could not get him to listen to me any other way.. As puppies they do CHEW tremendously.. If it's a pup becareful with that, but they are great dogs!! GORGEOUS too!! |
