Swimming Upstream
This Weimaraner puppy was dumped as a newborn on a busy street, left
to die, because his hind legs “didn’t work right”. But an angel named
Tiffany happened upon him, took him home and bottle-fed him until he
was strong. She knew that his odd “hopping gait” in his rear legs was
not normal, but he was able to get around and play with her two dogs,
and seemed to be happy and pain-free. She could not keep him, but
could not bear to turn him over to a shelter for fear he’d be euthanized.
She named him NEMO (because his injured leg reminded her of the
famous fish’s injured fin), and contacted Northern California
Weimaraner Rescue in hopes that their resources could help Nemo. She
delivered him to one of NCWR’s loving foster homes, and was confident
that she had placed him in good hands. Once in the care of NCWR, Nemo
received a Neurological consultation. He grew and became stronger,
then began receiving chiropractic adjustment, and his condition
improved. He was adopted into a wonderful home with a 6-yr old yellow
lab to play with. He continues to amaze everyone with his ability to run
and jump and play as if there were never anything wrong with him.
Nemo might have had an upstream swim compared to most pups, but he’
s certainly swimming with the big dogs now, thanks to NCWR!

Just thought you might
like an update on Duke.
Everything that Duke likes to
do involves either speed or
people. He is quite the
accomplished birder - having
brought me several presents.
He sneaks around the solid
side of the dog run fence and
then sprints and leaps at the
bird feeder. Most of the time,
everyone scatters in time.

I first met Shadow at our local animal shelter. She was very skinny, barely over forty pounds, filthy,
smelled dreadful, and had huge partially healed gouges all over her back. Still, though there were many
more attractive dogs in the pound that day, she was the one that came home with me. As I approached her
cage, she stood up on her hind legs, twisted her head around until she could get her nose through the chain
link, gave me a sniff and a lick and I was sure I heard her say, "Get me out of here!"
Her physical recovery took time, and so did her emotional healing. She was terrified of everything from
linoleum to men in hats. But I knew she had spunk and will, evidenced when she removed her own spay
stitches, in spite of her protective plastic collar, leaving just one for the vet to pull out.
Shadow and I have bonded through training. She has done field work, canine freestyle, basic obedience,
agility, therapy dog training, and tracking, which she loves beyond reason. Shadow has passed her Canine
Good Citizen test, been certified as a therapy animal by the Delta Society and joined the East Bay Regional
Park District Companion Dog Patrol We must have hiked hundreds of miles together in our work with the
district and on the San Francisco Bay Weimaraner Club's monthly Weim Walks. In our spare time we still
train in tracking and I hope one day to add a tracking title to Shadow's name .....Sandra

We are having so much fun with
Bella, we just finished a beginning
puppy training class.., she did pretty
well. We would like to get some more
obedience under our belts so that we
can eventually do some tracking..she
has such a a great nose (like our
previous Weim..Darby from Cathy
Nygren). I thought you might also
enjoy a picture of our girl...Julie Griffin

Finn, is thriving. I hear all the time from other
dog-parents who are friends or whom I meet at
the local park, what a happy dog he is and how
handsome he is. He is the most wonderful dog I
have ever owned....Finnegan is the love of my
life. He has a few quirks from his past life which I
suspect are hard-wired into his brain, and it
makes me sad to think that he was maltreated to
the point that he sustained permanent trauma.
But on the other hand, we each have our own
battle scars to contend with I suppose.
Nevertheless, Finnegan is perfect for us.

Yogi has one of the sweetest temperaments I've ever seen in a
Weim. There's not a snippy bone in his body...he's just happy and easy
going, no matter what the circumstance. He's incredibly affectionate,
but not needy. Walks on a leash like a pro, loves the car, and is content
to sit on his pillow behind me for hours on end while I type away on
the keyboard.
We just love his goofy demeanor, and the faults that would make a
ring judge cringe, simply add to his appeal for us. The massive white
spot on his chest, the white stockings on his front feet, the hatchet job
performed when his tail was docked...he's indeed a stylish gentleman,
just marching to a slightly different drummer. ;-)

The best thing about Buck, okay,
well there are a lot of great things
about Buck already. He obviously
has been through too much for a
young dog. But through all of this,
he loves people and is hungry to be a
part of everything, which works for
us. He learns tasks extremely
quickly and consistently and is bold
without being pushy

Shadow went to a new
home in Forrestville with a
wonderful family. Here's a
picture of her with her new
family. These boys are going
to be great frisbee-throwing
partners for Shadow, who can
leap like Michael Jordan!

A day in the life of Jake. He loves his
new pool. He is swimming all the time. He
likes to chase his tail while he is
swimming. After a long day in the pool
with the family he likes to rest in the sun
on the lounge chairs. We love him so
much. THANK YOU! for trusting us with
him. He is a great dog!

We took him to my parent's
ranch for Christmas. He got
along great with my sister's
older female Weim and with
my parents 2 Border Collies.

We want to let you know how
wonderful our dog Winnie is and
how much we enjoy her. She is
happy, healthy and just loves
everyone to pieces. Winnie has
several dog friends and cat friends. It
was a long wait till we found her but
it has been so worth it. She is our
constant companion, walking, in the
car, in the bed, and mini vacations.

Beau is doing great. I think he
experienced snow for the first time in his
life this past storm. He wasn’t sure what
to think of it, but now he seems to like it.
He loves to go to the dog park and visit
with the other dogs. He sure likes to do
tricks for treats! I didn’t realize that he
knew how to roll over until a couple of
weeks ago when I came home with a
treat jar that I bought at Costco for him.
He is so gentle with everyone and all the
other dog’s he comes in contact with.

It's been a little under 2 months since Jaeger came to live
with me and he already owns my heart. We've had some
frustrating days (of course) but mostly they've been joyful days.
During his first month with me he destroyed the plastic
surround in my shower, ate a bar of soap, dug up the backyard
(just a little), rummaged through garbage cans, stole food, and
destroyed several of my roommate's beauty products. And as
expected, as the months go by Jaeger is learning the routine and
most of his anxieties are subsiding. He is noticeably more
trusting and calm and definitely less mischievous. He is now a
happy, playful, goofy, snuggly, loving boy. He and Pee-nut get
along very well and operate as a team.

A couple days ago, when Tucker and I
were walking to Pt. Pinole – I realized
what a really great dog he’s become. He is
so settled, doesn’t pull on the leash, and
basically adjusts his walk to my speed. I can
leave him for 3 to 4 hours, and he now sleeps
through the night (until promptly 5:15 every
morning). The likelihood of finding another
older dog that is as sweet and smart as he is,
with so little baggage remaining, is slim.

Bella and her new sister, Rainn, love each other.
I just want to tell you how
thankful we are that Bella found
her way into our lives! We took her
for a hike in the Fremont Hills
yesterday and had a blast! She is doing
great in obedience, and has learned
sit, leave it and down pretty well! We
are enjoying her so much, she is so
well behaved, such a little lady.

Dante is lovely, polite, patient, doesn't
bark, rides REALLY well in the car, has some
separation anxiety, walks on all four legs ( runs
on 3 1/2), opens doors, loves fish, and still likes
the occasional coffee. He is still fragile in the
health dept....but I suppose he will always be so.
He seems perfectly aware of his limits, and
curtails his activities as needs be. He is great on
hikes, does well with horses, and likes
water....but nothing at all in this world can grab
his attention like a bird. He also likes glazed
donuts. Go figure.

absolutely loves us. He is getting big.

HANNAH MEETS BO: Then came the part I was a
little nervous about... The introduction. Bo, of course,
had no idea what was in store for him. Then Hannah
came bounding out of the back of the Land Rover and
off they went. After about 50 laps around the dining
room table Hannah went on her introductory tour of
the house and yard, with Bo following close behind!
They played practically all day.
