Any info on this?
(Iditarod is getting exciting as its the last half of the race to Nome
now, my instructor and her man (who is racing) will be staying w/us
next week)
Well, got one point on Enzo at the show. Porsche decided to come into
heat and shed everywhere so she was looking like the skinny teenager
that she is.
Talked to the CKC rep there about how to fix the mess that the LHs are
in regarding showing them in Canada. Its going to take some time.
Meanwhile, the puppies are now 6.5 weeks old and very cute. Took them
outside on Monday - it was a beautiful day around 6C. They had a blast
running around on the snow.

Not sure how the LH became a disqualification in the US. Heard rumours
about it being caught in the 1975(?) standard revision where they
disqualified blues. Tom Wilson showed LHs in the 60's in the US. In
Canada, it was never a disqualification, it was a "very serious fault".
Many breeders want the LH shown separately because LHs look
substantially different from the SHs. So people think that they will be
treated differently - either for or against them.
The WCA voted on this issue many years ago - unfortunately, it was not
well worded and it was defeated. There has been no move since then to
change the standard. I believe that they are watching what is happening
in Canada to see if they should persue it again. I dropped my WCA
membership over this issue - and the fact that I am breeding against
their code of ethics.

Hi Denise,
Wow, sounds like you have been working really hard on this for a long
time. I don't know alot about the politics of the LH being a
disqualification so I'm going to ask some questions. Do you know why the
LH became a disqualification? Can you explain why the membership would
want them to be shown separate? Do you know if any work is taking place
in the USA (AKC) to get the LH classified as a coat variety?
What are you showing in next weekend?
It was nice chatting with you last night.

I promised that I would let you all know the current status of LHs in
Canada so here it is.
The CKC standard for Weimaraners was changed effective July 1, 2007.
This removed LH as a "very serious fault" and put it as a coat variety.
The Weim Assoc of Canada had been led to believe (for 5 or more years)
that the LHs would be shown separately. This ended up not being the
case. They did not fully inform the WAC until 2 weeks before the
National Specialty - after the premium had been printed and distributed
and entries made. So, at the National specialty in 2007 the LH had
separate classes BUT then they then competed directly with the SH for
points. In protest, all LH owners pulled their dogs from the Specialty.
CKC informed the WAC (- actually no, they didn't and continue to not
inform, the WAC) that at regular shows LHs are shown WITH the SH in the
same classes.
Since the Specialty a number of people have shown their LHs at regular
shows. One dog has finished its CKC championship (an Aussie import).
(IMHO this has hurt WACs position that LHs should be shown separately -
I was fully prepared to withhold showing my dogs until this was
straightened out but some people were not. But I digress...)
Currently, WAC is investigating what is required by CKC so that LHs can
be shown separately. They are doing this because that was what the
membership originally voted for. This may involve having them listed as
separate "breeds". Ideally it would be the same as how the Rough and
Smooth Collies are treated - separate breeds but really separate
varieties that you can breed together. Once they have the information,
they will go to the membership again with a number of options.
I've had LHs for 12 years and have been working to get the standard
changed for 10 years. Looks like I'll be waiting another 5 years to
straighten this out. Meanwhile, I'm taking 2 LH to a show next weekend.

Sending dogs to the US isn't that big of a deal. The puppies are
microchipped before they leave here and registered with the CKC by the
breeder. To register with the AKC you have to get an official pedigree
from the CKC and then fill out the AKC paperwork. The only catch is if
we put a non-breeding agreement on the CKC registration - this is
standard practice for breeders in Canada. Unfortunately, AKC won't
register a dog with a non-breeding agreement on it. SO, Canadian
breeders often co-own puppies going to the US and then don't put a
non-breeding on the registration - then you can AKC register. You can
drop the co-ownership later - like when the dog is spayed or neutered.
The other option is for the breeder to hold onto the registration until
the dog is spayed or neutered.
If you cross the border before they are 12 weeks of age you don't have
to do a rabies shot.

Greetings, Denise!
I'm Bonnie, living in NW Washington state. I don't breed my dogs, but grew up
around Weimaraners and their babies (Dad was a breeder in the '50s).
I had to put down my 11 year old boy (SH) last summer due to recurrent cancer
and spinal degeneration. About two months later I was able to adopt my first LH
ever. He's a rescue boy so nothing is known about his pedigree.
Congrats on the puppies! I went to your website and looked at the pics.
Just as a matter of curiosity, have you ever sold a puppy or dog to someone in
the States? If so, what are the hoops that have to be jumped through regarding
importing a dog?
Glad to have you in the group!

Hi Denise,
Welcome to our little group! Well done with the change of heart in
Canada - must have taken a lot of work. We would love any news or
pics of anything in Canada, as I think you might be our first
Canadian. We do have a couple in the US, Snowy Diamonds in Alaska,
and I think the rest are Aust/NZ and Europe.
You and I have 'spoken', but long ago now. I am just coming to grips
with just how fast time actually passes!
So welcome!
Regards,
Wendy Laigne-Stuart

Tonya!!! Dusty was the one I would have chosen!!! Well, I really
would have taken all three if someone would have allowed it at
Heartland;) The goldens are my adult children's dogs, but I'm in
their lives, daily:)
The goldens do prefer my younger weims stay at my cabin but they
tolerate the weims visiting at their house, too. Its just that the
weims take over everything, come in at a great pace, scout out the
surroundings, immediately take whatever recreation bones they feel are
the best, jump onto the love seat and the couch, totally making
themselves at home and the goldens kind of look resigned to just wait
out the visit.
When we get to our cabin, the weims give a great big sigh;) Like it
was such an satisfying effort to visit the middle aged (2) and elderly
(2) goldens but it was worth the effort and they are so satisfied to
be home again, mission accomplished: ) LOL! The young adults kind of
feel the same towards my weims as their dogs feel, too;)
But when we are out in the field, goldens and weims feel "in their
element" and everyone is near and dear to hearts, love is in the
heart, "This is what we were bred for, YEAH! Isn't life grand?!"
I do curtail the daily visits in the winter when its too cold to
safely take the weims out much so the goldens seem happier then about
the fewer visits, LOL. Its kind of a hard time for them as my adult
children are not doing so much w/their goldens as they used to so I
take up the slack and remind them they are still loved and cherished.
My goal for the future is to take elderly weims from rescue to bask in
the sunshine on a full sized futon/couch/ bed in the southern bay
window, with miles of countryside to watch out the window, slow romps
in that wide open territory, or walks, and a warm stove nearby the bay
window in the winters...six weims would fit nicely, but it won't be
for a while yet as my 4 weims are 4,3,2,and Boris will be one in Dec.
I'm so happy Dusty/Harry has come into our lives again!!! Great big
HUGS to you and he! Welcome HOME! WOW, such a small world, as big as
it is...Cheryl in Alaska

http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/DODDS-BEHV-THYROID.HTM This also
helped me w/Slade, Misty Rose and ^Ducky^ - it took a lot of reading,
looking at the different symptoms, joining 3 different groups that
deal w/health compromised canines and doubting myself...3 years!
Cheryl, Slade, Misty Rose, Bully (SH) & Boris LH, weims in Alaska
>
www.itsfortheanimals.com This is where I found a lot of
information and began sorting out that both my two sh weims, Slade &
Misty Rose are hypothyroid and on lifelong soloxine. At first the
only local vet didn't believe the link even when I printed copies for
him, he didn't read it and then little by little, as I became
determined to make more headway in a better life for Slade, then the
vet agreed to test but he only had an incomplete panel done which
showed "normal" so it took a bit longer and emotions, determination
and some prolonged health issue suffering to finally have the vet
agree to allow another redraw of blood, and to let me send the blood
on my own to HemoPet/Dr. Dodd's from Alaska to California. Dr.
Dodd's has at least 45 years of her life dedicated to researching and
testing which I stressed to my vet, which is nearly his and my entire
life time. It was very surprising to me that Misty Rose had
hypothyroid, too, as her only symptom was cold intolerance. Slade
had many symptoms. I was just reading more on line yesterday about
what he had-he has been symptom free except three bumps last fall,
and only breaks out now if fed corn products. His hair on his sides
and belly has grown, not very thick but at least he's not hairless
any longer, and no more weeping, itchy sores.
I give him a teaspoon a day of near to local honey, along with no
corn, and his soloxine twice a day- I've been neglectful in that
recently as he's to have it 3 hours after dinner and we fall asleep
before then so I am trying to give it prior to their dinner, now.
Possibly your LH has not had a full and complete panel tested, and
keep in mind it can be tested again, twice a year or yearly.
Cheryl, Slade, Misty Rose, Bully (SH) & Boris LH weims in Alaska
Yes that should be ok......if you find it too strong dilute it down a
bit more.
Garlic it is always better to use fresh garlic. Put 2 cloves into a
garlic press and mix it into the food.
No problem always willing to give knowledge if it helps are hair

Thank you for your suggestions. I wanted to clarify what "not too much" white
vinegar might amount to? Are you thinking about a cup of Vinegar to a gallon of
water (about 7 litres)?
Do you feed the dogs garlic in capsule form - like we might use if we were
taking supplemental garlic? Or, are you putting in fresh raw garlic. How much
of either of these forms do you use?
I really appreciate that you took the time to respond to my questions.
Thank you so much!

Hi Bonnie,
You could try a couple of things.
1. when you rinse Tully off in some warm water put some white
vinegar...(not too much) and see if that gets rid of the dry skin.
2. You can use a wool wash to wash him with this would help keep the
fleas at bay. Also in his food put some garlic this will go through
the skin and the fleas don't like it.

My LH, Tully, has been suffering with very dry skin ever since we
received him (he is a rescue dog). His thyroid has been tested and
is fine. We have taken him off of foods containing corn. This has
stopped his licking at his paws and chewing at the base of his
tail. We do our very best to keep him flea-free with Front-line
(hard to do in a rural setting, with raccoons,squirrels,and assorted
vermin) and bathing. We are giving him fish oil capsules - two at
each feeding. There has been some improvement - the hair along his
back has filled in and is much softer than it was in October. But
the hair along his ribs and flanks is still extremely sparse (you
can see through to his skin at a glance). When I brush him, usually
every other day as he doesn't have a "show coat" to begin with, the
floor around him is white with doggy dandruff when brushing is
done. He still tends to scratch at his sides a lot.
Any further suggestions? I'll welcome any advice you can give.
Long-haired Weims are so uncommon around here, our veterinarian
didn't know there was such a thing (I think she is still doubtful he
is a purebred).
Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give.

That's fantastic, Sandra! He is a very handsome boy. Make sure you enter him on
the Dogz Online pointscore, he'll be leading LH male, I think!!! Great day for
the furry Grausturms. How did the regulars go?
There haven't been that many LHs in NSW being shown since we've had them,
either. I think we are down to three. Possibly two. I don't know why they are
not more popular. WE all know they are fabulous, don't we!?!

I'm going to start taking Boris with me to the hen house twice a day.
He knows where the coop is and follows my tracks after I'm done anyway,
so I think its time he accompanies while learning more. I didn't do
this to begin with as I thought it might encourage him to get into the
coop but he'll have to learn anyway since the birds will be in runs,
too, this spring so we're onto the next level of training. (All four
weims will need to learn to leave the birds, coop/runs, alone;)
We joined the Alaska Greatland Chapter of NAVHDA this month and will be
training until the tests in August. I've applied for registration
w/akc for Boris, along w/ILP for Bullet so both can be registered
w/NAVHDA.
I'll also be learning a new camera my youngest daughter gave me for
Christmas, I think that will be the biggest challenge;( lol
WOW that is absolutely fantastic - WEll done. Go the longhairs!!! Go twiggy.
Cheers Ingrid and the grausturm crew.

Well I have had it confirmed by the Schutzhund Club in the UK my Twiggy
is the first and ONLY dog of ANY breed to hold all the nosework titles
in the UK
ie CDex UDex UDex WDex TDex FH1 FH2
She is only the third dog in the UK to gain an FH2, the other two were
GSDs and belonged to the same owners.
