That't the same thing I said when I saw the pics. But he's been with the breeder with his brothers and sisters for the past 10 weeks. I am pretty sure he missed them. He wants to play with the Yorkie but she's having none of that.

You have to put in work with these dogs though or he's gonna destroy you. They were bred to work.......allllllllday.......in the woods/ fields hunting game.

They usually calm down around the age of 2 .

nice dog though

It was as close as I could get it. I'm back in a bulking phase so my face may seem a little puffier than normal.

The Weimaraner also has a tendency towards acquiring separation anxiety. Make sure to train him starting now to be comfortable being alone for extended periods of time.

As a general rule with gundogs/ hunting dogs don't expect them to be as obedient as working/herding dogs. They were bred with a certain independence in order to do their job and sometimes their instincts are just too powerful.

Overall great dogs though.

Thanks for the info. I've been contemplating getting this breed of dog for the past couple years. We didn't get one when we lived in the UK because we had a small house. Since we moved back to the states and have a huge house now, I had to pull the trigger.

I guess I do need to get him use to being alone because we tried to run to the grocery store real quick and he started whining. We ended up loading him up and taking him along.

Let him whine. That's the only way he'll learn. Dogs get separation anxiety because they don't make the connection that their ownerleaving is temporary.

At the beginning leave for maybe 5-10 minutes (just keep on extending the period over time) and come back. He'll be excited to see you but ignore him atthis point as well. He'll start to make the connection that you leaving is standard and nothing special.

The best dog is a tired dog. Give him plenty of exercise and you'll minimize the chances of behavioral problems. When all he wants to do at home issleep, it's a good thing.

Yeah I'm gonna try this tomorrow. He has to get use to being alone especially when my wife goes back to work. But I tried to take him for a walk and hewould just try to sit or lay down. So I end up carrying him back to the house. He does like to run if the other dog is out with him though.

All good. Males get about 90-100 lbs. Everyone has said that the shedding isn't too bad. Just brush the coat once a day with a rubber brush and wipe himdown with a chamois. The Yorkie is having nothing to do with him. Doesn't even let him get close.
