Because my girl doesn't come with proper papers, so I often wonder about her background...like everyday..during our walks. Each time I seriously wonder, I receive "signs" that may provide some leads to her origin...like from my
favourite ID website which features pets on furniture every Monday. Here's my girl's pose.
Maybe she is a not-so Great Dane like Bleau here...
or like Otto, the 2-1/2 year old Blue Weimaraner (ever a pup, she easily makes eye contact each time I talk to her. My boy is only getting better at this recently)
or LOOK, this photo of Yellow lab, Hailey and her "little brother" Diego a Weimaraner. They could be mistaken for my kids.
This is from Wikipedia. I've bold some similarities in her first 6 months so far.
Weimaraners are
fast and powerful dogs, but are suitable home animals given appropriate training and exercise. These dogs are not as sociable towards strangers as other hunting dogs such as Labradors and Golden Retrievers. Weimaraners are very protective of their family and can be very territorial. They can be aloof to strangers, and must be thoroughly socialized when young to prevent aggression. They are also
highly intelligent, sensitive and problem-solving animals, which earned them an epithet "dog with a human brain". They are ranked 21st in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, being of excellent working/obedience intelligence.
From adolescence, a Weimaraner requires extensive exercise in keeping with an energetic hunting dog breed prized for their physical endurance and stamina. No walk is too far, and they will appreciate games and play in addition. An active owner is more likely to provide the vigorous exercising, games, or running that this breed absolutely requires. Weimaraners are high-strung and often wear out their owners, requiring appropriate training to learn how to calm them and to help them learn to control their behavior. Owners need patience and consistent, firm (yet kind) training, as this breed is particularly
rambunctious during the first year and a half of its life. This breed is known for having a
penchant for stealing food from table and counter tops whenever given the chance. Like many breeds, untrained and unconfined
young dogs often create their own fun when left alone, such as
chewing house quarters and furniture. Thus, many that are abandoned have behavioural issues as a result of isolation and inferior exercise.
Weimaraners are often kind to children, but they may not be appropriate for smaller children due to their tendency to knock a child down in the course of play. The breed is so
full of energy that early training to sit (through positive reinforcement) is critical to prevent
jumping in the future, as these strong dogs may knock over elderly people or children by accident.
It should never be forgotten that the Weimaraner is a hunting dog and therefore has a strong, instinctive prey drive. Weimaraners will sometimes tolerate cats, as long as they are introduced to the cats as puppies, but many will
chase and frequently kill almost any small animal that enters their garden or backyard. In rural areas, most Weimaraners will not hesitate to chase deer or sheep.
This breed of dog tends to be very stubborn. However, with good training, these instincts can be curtailed to some degree. A properly trained Weimaraner is a wonderful companion that will never leave its master's side. The Weimaraner has been given the appellation "
Velcro Dog", as when once acclimated to its master, sticks to its master at all times.
Many Weimaraners tend to lean on their master when sitting or standing.
OMG! O.O
So, what do you think?
