    Just got a 5 year old weim, hunts ducks/geese but not as good on pheasants?

    You guys with the weims, I plan to leave the dog outside in the yard with the other dog during the day, when the weather isn't too nasty. They were in the house today and did fine but I would like them to be outside just to have a little room to roam etc. So how cold is too cold for these...

    No worries on returning him to the shelter. I was planning on putting an add in the paper if he didn't hunt but it does look like he will go for it. You story is encouraging. I had a lab that the parents hunted. The guy that bred the parents worked with my wife. We she wasn't gun shy and...

    Thanks for the replies guys. Just what I was looking for. I really needed the affirmation to go ahead on him. He's a really great dog and of course (I knew this would happen) the family falls for him within the first 15 minutes. That put the pressure on. Was really hoping he would be...

    Well that is encouraging comments guys. Thanks, I was not really looking for a pointer or magazine cover points. I just always thought that weims were pointers so that is what I was expecting or hoping for. I have only hunted over labs and a few goldens. Except for the buddys weim that...

    Thanks for all of the advise. Here is how the day went: Went to church and ate dinner with the parents so I didn't get started till the afternoon. My mom has had 2-3 roosters hanging out in the wind break near the house and down in the draw. We started there. He seemed to hunt through the...

    We had actually picked him up at the humane society. I was only thinking of returning him if he didn't work out. My uncle is very involved there. It is in a small rural area and they don't put dogs down there. My uncle would also let me know if that were to be the case. I am sure I could...

    Dakotazeb, I live in Powell, Wy. I am not sure of any trainers. There is Trivien Sungold Kennels, a pointing lab and golden retreiver breeder not to far. I know they train there own dogs, maybe they do others as well. Used to have a bird farm down the road. I know there is a couple others a...

    I picked up this dog from a guy going through a divorce. He had three dogs and now doesn't have room. The dog is well adjusted and gets along great with my other dog, kids, etc. The previous owner said he didn't really hunt him this year but is great on ducks and geese. He said he has a good...
