Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying or Adopting a Weimaraner
Buying a Weimaraner is not a decision to take lightly. Many things need to be considered. Weimaraners grow to be large, active, intelligent dogs, with strong needs and desires. Maintaining a dog requires a great deal of time, money, effort, and a certain commitment on the part of the owner. This decision can last 10-15 years, so be certain of your decision.
- Have you taken (and passed) the "Are you ready for a Weimaraner" quiz on the WCA Rescue site?
- Have you cleared it with the entire family that a dog will fit into your lifestyle?
- Have you a fenced yard or proper kennel run to protect your dog?
- Have you purchased a crate suitable for a grown Weimaraner?
- Have you bought the necessary supplies and training equipment?
- Have you located an obedience club and some helpful books?
- Have you searched your soul and decided if you really have the patience and time that are necessary to school a young pup?
- Have you prepared your family members for their role in sharing their home and life with a new family member?
- Have you unquestionably decided that a Weimaraner is the dog that you want to share the next 10-15 years of your life with?
- Have you located a reputable breeder who wins your confidence?
- Have you verified that the parents of the litter are OFA certified?
- Have you spoken to other Weimaraner owners about their experience?
- Have you carefully read over the written agreement that the breeder requires? Including your responsibilities?
