Scout
~ Follows Enzo’s Paw Print Example
Scout is doing great! He’s double in size and growing like a weed!
Scout is so funny to watch on his own playing in the snow, but when big brother Enzo is around, Scout wants to do exactly what Enzo is doing, it’s so cute!!
Breeder Comment
We are so happy to hear the excellent news. One thing for sure, they don’t stay puppy-sized very long.
Sunday Photos
We hope this little array of photos brings you joy–
The pups leave to join their family this coming Saturday–so, next, we will be looking into the archives and trying to locate puppy photos.
We hope to keep this going–puppies or other interesting Weimaraner photos for our Sunday. It seems to be appropriate given COVID and all else going on–just breathe in the joy of it all.
One Photo
~ Speaks Volumes
The journey begins–what will you become together? May we suggest to set aside any preconceived ideas and to take it one step at a time. That doesn’t mean your goals are wrong, but in our experience, if you build success upon success, your journey goes smoother.
Availability
~Part Two
Monday, we discussed OwyheeStar puppy availability and how 2020 was puppy inquiries on steroids. For Cliff’s well-being, it was a good thing. He mated a couple of extra girls because he was positive two were not going to produce anything –he guessed wrong. They all did whelp a litter, but even so, we didn’t have enough pups to make everyone happy. Nonetheless, we got it done even though the Spring workload was a killer. (Haha)
Three Longhairs
The uncertainties we discussed on Monday are always a reality. We use our Waitlist to decide what we need–but even so, there are many factors we cannot control. Nonetheless, you cannot get a Blue pup without one of the parents being a Blue.
Our Longhair folks tend to be fewer, and sometimes less outcome-driven. What does that mean? It means we mate to get the pups they are waiting for only to discover (when the puppies arrive), the Waitlist folks are not ready. Or they are unable to move ahead for any number of reasons. Such is the case once again–we have three beautiful Gray Longhairs not yet promised.
We hope to get another litter between now and December–all smooth coats. By now, you realize I don’t count the puppies until we see them arrive.
Ollie
~Off to a Fabulous Start
Played with his duck for about an hour and fell asleep right on top of it. Such a beautiful dog, thank you so much!Â
Breeder Comment
We spent the last three days meeting people with their pups. The homes we have for each pup are extraordinary–and we cannot wait to hear from each family as their journey unfolds. Oliver (AKA Ollie) isn’t looking back, he bonded to his people, and life is so exhausting as you can see.
Do You Want A Water Dog?
~We Imprint Our Weimaraner Pups Whenever Possible.
Although it is our practice to swim pups when possible–meaning the weather allows us to do so, it doesn’t guarantee your pup will be a natural swimmer. Nevertheless, we believe the puppy swim imprints the idea into their mind and spirit, but it often requires work to get an adult to swim. It may also require knack, patience, and a bit of savvy. Cliff suggests that you achieve two things that will help you facilitate the water retrieve.
- The Love of the Retrieve
- A reliable recall–where they bring the tossed bumper or toy back to you–and come when called without delay.
If you do these two things, you will have greater success across the board–obedience, compliance, and a happy, well-adjusted Weimaraner.
Puppy Development
~ The Adult-Looking Nine-Month Old Weimaraner
36 weeks (from AKC)
At 9 months, you’re probably starting to wonder when your puppy will be fully grown. Expect your adolescent puppy to continue to grow and develop emotionally for a little while longer, and keep up on your puppy’s training. Take a moment during training to reflect on what you might be doing to encourage some of your puppy’s bad habits and make a commitment to change your behavior.
These comments are meant for puppies in general; however, they apply even more so for the Weimaraner puppy. Letting your 12-week old pup jump up is not a good idea. If you do, by the time they are 9-months-old, you have a bigger problem. Letting them bite your fingers–as a young pup, may well lead to mouthing issues as the Weimaraner matures. Some do this mouthing-thing for their entire life–and for their owner, it might not seem like a problem until they put their mouth on someone else–those teeth can easily tear a hole in a thin-skinned older adult, or alarm someone.
