Re: Stamina of DD vs Field bred lab
Brazo I am in Canada and have Weims. Weims and Vs usually do well for upland here, but later in this past winter it was tough even running them some days, between the extreme cold and deep snow. Granted this was the worst winter i can remember, but I would be leaning towards a GWP/DD for the kind of...

Re: Size of your Wienerimer
The standard for females is 23"-25" at the withers, with an inch over or under being accepted but penalized. We have 2 girls at home - one weighs about 48 lbs, and is a bit over 23", the other is about 54 lbs, and around 24". I've personally seen female weims in the range of 35 lbs to 75 lbs, howeve...

There is no retrieving necessary in the NAVHDA NA test. Even the water portion of the test only requires them to swim twice, not actually retrieve the bumper .If you want to evaluate natural retrieve, run them in an navdha na test.

Southern Ontario is definitely not very good bird wise, but we go Grouse hunting and Woodcock hunting within 30 minutes or so of where we live (London), and there are a couple small-ish Pheasant release programs within an hour of us, so our dogs see quite a few birds each year.

I always recommend that neutering be postponed until 18 month - 2 yrs of age (at the earliest).

You'll find male dogs grow taller than they would have if left intact (the hormones that tell ...
