Ruger
Hello OwyheeStar!
Wanted to get you a little update on Ruger. So over the spring as many people did, we decided it was a good time to add a second pup to the mix. I always pictured our second pup to be another weim…and preferably from you!My daughter really wanted a pup that would stay small. I hesitated for a while thinking about how Ruger had been the only fur child for 4 years, and how he would react to having to share his space. We finally gave in and acquired a mini aussie. This first pic was what Rugers face looked like when I said, “you want a friend to play with?”It sounded like fun, until he realized Ollie was staying. After a few months, Ruger finally warmed up to him, and now I think he is finally ok with having a live in playmate! Ruger always liked to get other dogs to chase him. I figured Ollie’s herding instincts would be a perfect match!
Thanks again for such a great pup! Ruger is so awesome!
Our third pup, when the time comes…will definitely be another weim!😁

It is a sweet post–so glad this worked out for you. I know you also hunt with Ruger. We look forward to working with you again.
Ruger
(June 7, 2020) Ruger turns 4 today! He has added so much love and joy to our family. I can’t imagine our lives without this quirky, hilarious guy! It’s hard to capture action photos because he is either laying down or running!
We spend our days doing lots of walks through the rolling hills across from our house, where he chases bunnies, digs out whistle pigs, and flushes pheasants. I run into quite a few families in this area with Weims from you and Cliff, and you can always tell. I could see the resemblance from Blue on a few occasions with other pups from different litters. What beautiful dogs!! Anyway, thought I’d share a few photos and thank you again for our precious Ruger!
Sincerely–Beth

We could not be happier to learn that Ruger is doing well–and that he is loved. Quirky can be fun–and it sure adds spice to daily life.
Benson
Benson will be 4 in June. He is doing great. Is still stubborn, loves to run in our beautiful surroundings and is kept busy watching and barking at the deer and quail we have in our backyard. He and I are great companions. Thanks again for this very special guy ..Marsha

~AT Three Years Plus
I can’t Express what a joy Ruger has been to our family. I meant to send you a pic and message on his birthday on June 7th when he turned 3! I can’t believe he is 3 already!
In March, my son Logan and I took a road trip with Ru as we call him for short…to Cannon Beach! What an awesome place, especially for dogs! We stopped in Hood River for a night and spent 4 more nights in Cannon Beach. We all had so much fun! Ruger Loves the beach. We will make this an annual trip for sure!
I was a little nervous about the 8 plus hour car ride from Middleton ID. But with stops along the way he did great!! He is such a great addition to our family! Thanks Shela and Cliff for such a great pup! We all love him so much! More updates to come!

All too often, I wish I were an OwyheeStar Weimaraner–all these trips to the beach and whatnot. (OMG) We are happy to read that Ruger is much-loved and included in all the fun. Thank you–we appreciate you thinking of us. Happy three years–here’s to hoping for many more.
Well Now
What Can We Say?
Marsha Reports…
I picked up Benson at the kennel and the owner of the kennel went to get him. Took a little bit longer. The owner came out and said “Benson opened the latch on this pen and then opened a lot of the latches of the other dogs there and they were having a big time.Benson would open the latch on his kennel and on the gates in my backyard so now there are locks on them. I’m sure this is something other Weimaraners do but it was funny to me. Marsha

Laundry And
Our Beloved, Ruger
~Celebrates Two Years
Our beloved pup Ruger just turned 2, and it’s been the best 2 years for our family. He adds so much joy and love to our lives! He is such a goofball too!
He loves helping with the laundry…until the squeak of the pantry door. I was folding laundry the other day and he started falling asleep. I snuck off to grab a snack, and who shows up? The kitchen supervisor, with Jeff’s shirt dangling off his back. He makes us laugh on a daily basis and we are so grateful for him!
Thanks, Shela and Cliff for our little guy! We can’t imagine our lives without him!

The Wild One
Benson
~ Speaks
Mom says at the kennel they call me the wild one. It’s just because when we get to the kennel I run straight into the front door of the kennel and when Mom picks me up, I run from the kennel door into Moms car.
Benson’s Mom
Benson loves playing with other dogs. He is fast, happy, loves to retrieve, and is loveable. To his delight, there are deer and lots of quail in our backyard. He will retrieve into the lake but stops when it gets deep. We will continue working on this. I thank you for Benson, he is a big joy in my life. Marsha

It is good to hear about Benson. Keep working on the water retrieve–you will get him swimming. We love that you love him so much. Thanks for thinking of us.
Dakota Blue
Hard to believe Dakota will be a year old this Wednesday. He is quite the character and at times a handful. But I enjoy every moment, even when he digs up a flower I just planted or attacks my pillow and then looks so innocent. He’s my best friend and I thank you and Cliff for bringing us together.

Bring on the Candle
At Wallowa
Well, Benson is a few days short of one year. It seemed winter lasted forever. We have deer that live in the hills behind us. Benson would love to go after them but has to settle looking at them from the fence. Benson meets a German shorthair pal in the country here and they are so fast running and playing together. They are the same age and size and are great pals. Hope to eventually get him to swim in Wallowa Lake, he does love to retrieve and recently caught a magpie in the yard. He is growing up and behaves better. He is stubborn and never gives up but is also a sweetie. I am so happy to have him, thanks .. Marsha
He arrived safe and good condition. We are doing well, thank you!
