      @@alexbennet4195 Oh, yeah, of course. If I got a dog from a breeder I would be very careful about who I got it from. I would make sure the breeder lets me see the dogs and the puppies, make sure they show me where the dogs spend most of their time, etc. Meeting in a neutral location is a huge red flag, and the couple should've known better. I just meant that, in terms of training, there was nothing the couple could've really done.

      As a person who spent about 4 months in search of where to get my golden retriever for service dog training I couldn't agree more. We asked doctors, other patients, websites, and we visited all the farms before we committed. It's so sad it gets to this level with breeding. I'm ALL shelter for just pet companion purposes but I'm also for specific jobs for specific breeds. People like their breeder just screw up the reputation/purpose of them.

Another thing: If a mother gets too upset if a stranger comes into the same room where the puppies are, then I know that she doesn't even trust her owner and this is another bad sign. So I personally would never buy a puppy from such a place. The first 14 weeks are very, very important for a dog. That's why I want to be sure that my puppy comes from a good place and where the puppy had the possibility to grow up with its mother and the rest of the litter. If the first weeks were not good, then you will probably have a dog with issues all his life.

    This couple is probably one of my favorites so far? I'd love a full episode on them (I really miss those). They strike me as people who were somewhat naive in the past, but have really researched and done their absolute best to do right by the dog they got. They ask the right questions and were somewhat on track with Bella already, they really just needed the expertise of a professional like Victoria. On top of that, this is a highly informative video, both in red flags when it comes to backyard breeders as well as just behavior + training that is different from what we usually see from this channel.

      I used to raise Sphynx cats. I encouraged prospective new owners to come over and interact with all of my cats, male and female, and the kittens. I gave them a tour of the cattery as well. They were shown what my cats ate, their medical records, their cattery furnishings (scratching posts, litter boxes, etc.). I always kept the cattery and home very clean and odor free. The people were given info about the breed as well. They were able to get their kitty at the age of 12 weeks, no sooner, even though some of them wanted to get their kitty as young as 6 weeks. I explained why this is not advisable--kittens, as well as puppies, need the socialization of their mother and littermates, and to have all of their baby shots before leaving my cattery. They could come and visit their kitty of course, if it was too young to leave for its new home. They were also introduced to my cats' veterinarian. (Jan Griffiths).

      Also, my cats were raised cage free, except for a tom who sprayed excessively. He was caged, but the enclosure was spacious, well furnished (scratch post, litter box, his bed, shelves to lounge on, etc.). This cat was trained to harness and leash, and was walked daily in my backyard, and was given lots of attention. He was a very affectionate cat, and was neutered and relieved of stud duty at the age of 6. I still kept him, but he became a loved house pet. (Jan Griffiths).

    I have a Weimaraner-mix. He looks JUST like Bella. His mother was pregnant at the Humane Society, so he was born at the shelter. Phoenix was adopted at 9 weeks old (now 4 y.o,) and he is still skittish about everything under the sun and takes hours to stop shaking like leaf and seeking out a place to hide, with his preference being under my feet or legs, or in the concrete basement, which I assume mitigates some of the vibrations, sounds, etc. that frighten him. He's never aggressive though. Poor baby, we're surrounded on all sides with very loud noise traffic: an airport, a football stadium (cannon shot every time home team scores a TD) , a racetrack, and a busy train track!). Love this couple and their patience with Bella 🥰.

    When I bought my sphynx we went to the breeder and I had a choice between two litters. One, the mother was very protective and her kittens were hissing and the other mother was rubbing up against me and sat in my lap as I held her babies.
    We had a timid rescue at home so we chose to go with the kitten from the calm mother, to ensure a kitten with a sweeter disposition. It's so important to know the animal you're bringing home.

    Irresponsible breeders cause this! We had Weims for almost 30 years, and our club worked diligently to educate people about ‘backyard breeders.’ We had a male that was more anxious than we thought was good, and decided not to breed him for that reason. They are a wonderful breed, but need a lot of attention and exercise or they can become neurotic.

    • @goddessofthisworld7716
      @goddessofthisworld7716 3 года назад

      Thank you! My parents also used to breed dogs (samoyeds to be exact) and they where extremly picky with everything. The females only had a little once every two years and they sometimes traveled to a different country just to find the perfect male. Many people wanted a puppy (we sometimes had over 100 calls a day!) and they took a lot of time to decide who was right for a puppy. They asked an unbelievable amount of questions and when the future owners were decided, they went to visit their homes to see how they live. The future owners visited us three times in total so that the puppys would get to know them. They always remained in contact with and helped with problems.
      I truly agree that weims are wonderful dogs, I sadly only got to know a few who were trained properly and had enough exercise.

    Wow, when I first inquired about my dog (puppy), the breeder said "Come on up and meet the family." I feel so lucky about that - met my dog and his mom & dad, and all his litter mates, inside the house, and then went out and met all the other dogs they had (about 6 total). So sorry these people are having to deal with this - so damned sad when people breed for money - horrible people.

    I know different folks have different opinions on this one, but Prozac really helped my boy (who came to us as a rescue with lots of trauma) with his anxiety. It should only be tried on a dog or cat who still seems to be suffering with panic, anxiety, and/or OCD despite lots of love, training, and tweaking of their routine and environment to fit their needs. Your vet can evaluate whether it's an appropriate addition to the work you and your furry loved one are already doing.

    Dogs are so easy and great at training when it comes to food. I believe that it’s a very affective positive way to train dogs and should be used more. Bella will now associate people with food as a good experience. Victoria is really good with this kind o training as well as placing boundaries that’s apart of Bella’s aggression is the boundaries.

      I don’t mean to assume, but it could be due to understimulation. Weimaraners are an incredibly intelligent and energetic breed, and *will* get destructive and out of hand if they don’t receive proper exercise, both physically and mentally. Many pet-dog people underestimate just how much exercise that actually is, and think that a simple run will do the job. These people end up with bored, misbehaved dogs.

      Ange Mac I wasn’t trying to imply that poor breeding doesn’t play a part in behavior, I was addressing Weimaraners as a whole. Of course a poorly bred Weimaraner is likely to have temperamental issues, that’s a given in any backyard bred dog, but the breed as a whole isn’t “unstable”. I was just listing reasons as to why even a well-bred Weim could be misbehaved.
      I have also worked with the breed, and have seen both extremes. A misbehaved Weimaraner is a nightmare i’ll admit, but a well-bred, well-exercised, and well-trained Weimaraner is a very impressive dog.
