"The Pointer hunts because birds are the most important thing in its life; the Weimaraner hunts because hunting is the most wonderful activity that can be shared with the people it loves."

Sandy

Born June 17, 2005. Sandy is 3/4 Weimaraner, 1/4 Lab with a thick Labrador coat, a wonderful temperament and he has had early training as a sled dog. His colouring is sand and identical to his Weimaraner father, Chief. His coat thickens in the winter and it becomes sleek in the summer. Sandy is quite large at about 80 pounds or more but he has not stopped growing. His chest is deep, his legs are long and he is very fast and very strong. As he matures he will gain the body of a real athlete. His head is large and his facial structure and nose are more Weimaraner than lab. Sandy's temperament is gentle and loving and despite his strength, he is easy to handle, willing to please and is obedient. Sandy is the gentle giant of our dogs and seeks our attention. He is a communicator and the largest of his litter. He has been walked on a leash and has spent time in harness. He seeks out company and likes to play, run and hunt. Its possible that he has a retrievers instincts as his father and mother both have that. We have not worked with him to find out. He is larger than his father who is a pure bread Weimaraner and he is about the same size as his mother Annie who is a Weimaraner Lab cross.

Over the months I have rotated all of the dogs, including Sandy, inside the house to house train them and socialize them inside. He likes to chew but has spent some nights on the couch without causing trouble. Sandy has spent some time in a cage early on and adapted well. He is still capable of chewing things but is leaning that doing so is not acceptable. Sandy is strong and bold and healthy and a wonderful dog in every respect. Sandy needs a home where he can live inside, get lots of attention and he need lots of exercise. Sandy has not been neutered and has not had his shots. He requires shots immediately upon being taken to civilization and before he is walked in a park or taken to grounds accessed by other dogs.
