OT-Dogs

They may be described as an average shedder, but bear in mind those tiny little grey hairs show up on every dark piece of clothing and furniture you own. Weimeraners are magnificent dogs, but remember, as with most sporting breeds, they need a LOT of exercise, and, as you state, they are quite large.

One thing I look for in a dog breed is longevity. Most large breeds don’t live very long. I personally get quite attached emotionally to my dogs, and it is quite painful when they pass on. I don’t like to go through that every 7 years or so. Many of the smaller breeds live quite a bit longer.

I myself am an Australian Cattle Dog fan, and have been for years (Mad Max’s dog). The one I have now I have had for 14 years, has been with me since undergrad. Even took him to Japan for 3 years. They are incredibly intelligent, very active, but twice a year they shed their coat like the Peanuts character Pigpen. Drives my wife nuts.

Why no shed, are you allergic? I have a dog that has short hair, she is a boxer/lab mix, and I am not allergic to her. The dogs that give me fits are the pure breds – I cannot go near cockers, springers (all spaniels) goldens, labs, germans…you get the idea. A cocker can cause welts on my skin just by touching me with their nose! And Weims do shed, just small hair…remember the Westerfield trial, they had a Weim and he had dog hair in his dryer from poor little Danielle. You might try a mutt…but if it is the mess, good luck!

I am not allergic..I just have something against hair/fur. I would rather have Chinese torture than have dog hair on my clothes or on my floor. I could care less about a dog but like Marion my kids really want one and you can’t be a kid and not have a dog.

Now I understand your dilemma. I went to the site Marion posted and it seems many dogs are average shedders, some I wouldn’t have thought. There’s this guy at the beach who has a Vizsla. My second favorite. Beautiful dog. Every time I see it I would love to have one. Very obedient and protective, attentive. But it sheds, also. Not so easy to find one that doesn’t shed.
