If you have an Weimaraner puppy or are thinking of buying one, my suggestion is to be sure and read this very helpful guide on Weimaraner Ownership. "The Guide to Owning a Weimaraner", written by Anna Katherine Nicholas, is an absolute MUST-HAVE for anyone who, like myself, is the proud owner of a beautiful Weimaraner.

I bought this book right before I started to research getting my second Wiemaraner pup. I had made a few mistakes with my first one, especially regarding the training aspect of puppy ownership. I love both of my beautiful dogs equally, however the pup that I trained (so easily) after reading this helpful guide made training a dog enjoyable.

This book will start with the very basics and assume you know nothing. I found that to be very helpful since there is always something helpful that you can learn, even long after years of owning a dog. You'll begin with how to select the best possible puppy from a breeder or pet store. She'll discuss everything from training issues at different stages of their development to common veterinary issues associated with Weimaraner's. It's one of those few books in life that seem to have answers to all of our questions. The photograhs are wonderful as well!

I've raised several different breeds of dogs in my life. I've loved each and every dog from every breed in very special ways. HOWEVER, the joy of owning a Weimaraner, as you well know or WILL know, brings with it experiences that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

It's a great read with a fantastic index for finding specific answers to most every question you might have. Whether it's feeding, breeding, training, exercise or grooming-you'll find it all in this handy guide to owning a Weimaraner.

Happy Reading to ALL!

This was a very insightful book for my very first weimaraner. It is a basic beginners book that is very easy to understand and follow in all the different aspects from diet, to health, to training, to play. Wonderful. It sure has helped me with mine. I have read this book many times as it is a book you can read in one sitting which makes it even better.

This review is from: The Guide to Owning a Weimaraner (Paperback)

This book is a brief overview of the history, training, breeding and owning of this breed. It tells of common behavior problems and easy fixes. It warns at length of the amount of work and patience needed for this breed. I would like the book to be longer and have a more inclusive history, but for the person looking for a quick read it is acceptable. I would recommend this book to someone looking to get a Weimaraner. Just remember no matter how much you read, you are never fully prepared for the patience and work needed to own this breed. We love our dog and so far do not regret getting our little girl, but she is a lot of work, as they all are.
