German Shepherd Dog Forums - Questions about the Weimaraner

I had a computer crash and have been trying to replace pictures, stories etc. that I've lost. I found some old stories I'd posted on internetarchive.org WayBack Machine. Old Timers may have seen these before, but they will probably be new to most of you. They bring back bittersweet memories for me and I thought I'd share them with you all from time to time. I don't have any angels now, and it looks like I won't be able to get any for awhile.............but I hope you all enjoy the stories(not all of them are GSD, as you can see from this one). These are from a website I had years ago.

A: Answers to your questions:
1) Attention, attention, attention, attention, attention, attention, attention, attention, and some food and water occassionally.
2) Whatever you are having.

3) Weimaraners are descended from German nobility and are known to have kept several Dukes of Weimar and other nobility in their castle.

4) Mostly napping.

5) Originally from Weimar, in the south of Germany-the Schwarzwald, Black Forest region. But, if he's sitting right in front of you looking VERY innocent, it probably means he just came in from the other room where you will find a mess from something he got into.

6) The Weimaraner is founded on the unalienable principle that Anything thrown MUST be retrieved.(no matter how chewed up, slobbery, muddy, disgusting or anything thing else) and the pursuit of happiness-which usually means the pursuit of something with four legs, or two legs and two wings, or well, forget the legs and wings as long as it is moving....

7) Fool him-at least not for very long.

8) They don't, other dogs only compare to Weims.

9) Their favorite game is the one they happen to be playing at the moment you ask the question.

10) Weimaraners are especially adept at training humans.
