Greetings from Skagit County, Washington! I just found your group.
As child, my family were Weimaraner breeders (field and gun dogs)and I
have never heard of the long-hairs until about three years ago. My
older brother adopted a senior long-hair then. She has since passed,
at the ripe old age of 14 years. Now he is fostering another long-
hair, male, that was found running stray by a member of the area Weim
club. As my short-hair Weim is terminally ill and will have to be put
to sleep in the next 30 - 60 days, he is urging me to take on this
guy. Well, the reason I like the short-hairs is - they don't shed
much (unlike my hubbies rottie who sheds enough every day to cloth at
least one puppy). Can someone with experience tell me what to expect
from long-hairs re: grooming and shedding? Are there some other
health issues I should be aware to watch for? Obviously, we have no
idea of his pedigree or his sire/dam health histories. All we know is
he is an intact male, probably about two or three years old.

Any and all advice/info will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bonnie
