Book Reviews of Weimaraners (A Complete Pet Owner's Manual)
Book Review: Got this book when researching, please make an informed decision
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a little different perspective I think. This was one of a few books we purchased (or maybe it was a gift) when we were researching the breed.
We LOVE Weims. They are gorgeous. We love William Wegman. We even used his cards for both our wedding invites and thank you notes. Our plan was to get a Weim and name it Sage. Until my husband did a lot of research and realized that maybe we needed to reconsider. The main issue was that this was a high energy dog that needed a lot of excercise and also was fairly large. (I'm 5'3" on a good day.)
We ended up getting a Vizsla (a high energy breed that looks very much like a Weim and has some similar traits), then a second Vizsla.
Then, I fell in love with two VERY WELL TRAINED and LAID BACK full grown Weims that had an energy eerily similar to our pack at a rescue booth at a carnival. (Vizslas are similar in energy but a bit different- they have a bit of Weim in their lineage.) Realizing we just didn't have room for the two brothers in our suburban home (that would total 4! dogs)-- I couldn't bear to break the pair-- I also realized my heart was open to one more dog and we rehomed another Vizsla.
Ramble, ramble. So my point is-- you are wise to do your research and find out if and how you can be the right owner for this breed. Second, if you are considering one dog of this energy-- really consider two. The pair will be much happier and give each other something you can't.
They are beautiful and wonderful dogs. Just be sure. The dogs deserve a forever home!
I guess this isn't directly about the book, but it came up for my list and sparked a good memory. Get the book. Get more info so you make an informed decision. If you have any doubts in your mind after reading up, please contact a Weim rescue person in your area and ask them questions. I would think they would love to help you make an informed decision.
Best to you!
