    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Thank You for the info....for me the hair and drooling may be a problem. Also we live in Georgia and the heat is constant, the dog would probably comfortable outside for a couple months a year. I feel like a long haired dog would really suffer here. I think I am leaning toward another Weim or...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    I don't know about her age....in the first email I sent I did ask but she did not specifically answer the question. I am going to get that question answered before driving up to Newnan (about a 45 minute drive) i am not sure why she didn't answer perhaps she missed it or maybe the dog has been...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    I wondered if she was pure as well......she has a VERY distinctive Weim face! The Weim we have now is our first purebred dog....she has been a dream to train! She fits into our family like she has always been here! I have heard some weims can be nightmares....Some of that I think can be...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    HELLO! We are back considering trying again....sometimes I think I am a fool and a gluten for punishment! I found a Weim/Lab at a rescue group. They require an approved application before we can proceed any futher. SO... IF we pass the screening, what should I look for personality wise...I...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Thank You all for the advice. I am not sure that we will try again....IF we do I will NOT go back to the shelter. I am going to find a breeder of the chosen breed and go from there. I think y'all are right, the dogs I am going to find at this shelter will most likely have compromised...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    I went back and read this post......this is EXACTLY what I am afraid of......Now that the dog is the returned, even though it was difficult, I do feel I made the right decision. Losing everything we have worked so hard for in a dog bite lawsuit IS NOT where I want my future to go. As I was...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    They will refund the money..because it is within the 2 week trial period. But even if they wouldn't I would still take her back. IF she bit someone the medical bills or cost of being sued would be WAY MORE than $175.00, so I am cutting my losses. I hate to hear puppies snap alot....I have not...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    I am sad to say that Miley snapped again......Thank God it was me this time. So today she will be going back to the shelter. I still think it is from her experience at the shelter...she doesn't seem to have a nasty personality. But I feel with children in the house, mine as well as friend's...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Thank You all for the kind words and encouragment! Things are going well. I do need to have him walk her more on a leash. He has been taking her out and walking the property with her following as she struggles ALOT when you put her on a leash and it bothers him to see her pull and yelp. BUT I...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    That is great information! Thank You! I am hoping then that Bella is letting her get away with it for now...... but will put her in her place when the pup is of age.

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Thank you for the info. I am glad I did the right thing...My instant reaction was to correct her, next time I am going to add to the correction and put her in her kennel as you have suggested.

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    She hasn't had any outbursts like I described before. But the pup was laying on the floor to the left of my chair I was sitting in and Bella came over to lay by my feet as she always does, and Miley (the pup) growled. I said NO to her...not sure if I should have done that... I just don't want...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Had a question Kansas Prairie.....IF the pup goes after my Weim (Bella) and Bella runs from her should I correct the pup? Or if the pup growls at Bella should I say no and correct her? Or let them be?

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Thank You for the kind words Kansas Prairie and Verity! It gives me encouragement. The pup does lay back and show her belly, so I feel good about that. So far my Weim has let the pup get away with everything! From eating out of her food dish to taking a chew from her. It kind of suprised me...I...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    My Weim is VERY submissive. She has been on family reunion vacations were everyone had their dogs with them so there were 6 or 7 dogs running around. They all got along very well. The only one who didn't like Bella (my Weim.) was a Minature poodle of my Brother in laws...Bella avoided him and...

    Help!....My son wants a dog!

    Thanks! Yes, I can see how being away from her litter mates could be very scary. People see bringing the dog home and "rescuing it" as a great and happy thing. And even though the "shelter" was terrible, coming here to our house was probably at the time, MORE stressful than going back to the...
