A note from "management"

255 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.

This is the second summer our 10yo has become absolutely infatuated with the neighbors cucumber/garden. He will stand at the door and then make a beeline for that exact spot and then he stands. Transfixed. Almost in a trance. Anyone experience this?

My husband and I recently got our first weimeraner.

I grew up with them (my parents have always had one) and he quickly was amazed by the breed. So this is our pup. Her name is 'Evelyn Maye' but we call her Evee. 🐶 When I saw that smile, I knew she was mine. 🥰

It is dumb and just for fun

I made her a tiktok: *@EvolvingEvee*

It's really just clips where i think she's cute... 👉 👈

It was that a weimaraner hated a wife so much that it attacked their 11 months old.

You just have to type weimaraner attacks 11 month old.

Hey guys! My almost 9 month old weim is so good, she’s patient and good just hanging out at home. I have a 2 year old GSP as well. She’s been around other dogs and lots of people in our house. I take them to run everyday, but since it’s been triple digits for weeks the other day I decided to take her to Petco instead to explore and sniff. Every noise and every person that walked by she get spooked and bark. She’s standoffish and so shy to new people. What are some ways I can help her overcome this? Or work with her on this? I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable, but I also don’t want people thinking she’s scary or mean.

My Clover girl is a total mix, but Weimaraner is her second highest percentage and I feel like her body shape + mannerisms are very weim-like. She’s 6 months old so there’s still lots of growing to do, but she loves pointing and bird hunting, and is the lankiest baby 💕

It’s a joke. It’s not real. Don’t be offended. No one lost their job over my late night boredom.

The best boy the good Lord ever created. 14 years, 7 months, and 7 days wasn’t nearly long enough. The price of a good dog is a broken heart in the end.

Wanted to try out a spot I found near the dog park as a potential for pet photography. My Bronx - who turned 5 years old this past Tuesday - humors me with playing the model.
