⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the U.S. die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️

SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.

Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.

• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.

• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.

• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.

• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.

• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.

• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.

• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.

Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don't risk their safety.

If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.

This is the most evil device ever invented.
No matter what size your dog is, this is never the right leash choice and fails to comply to state or local leash laws.
This is only appropriately used for recall training where you are trying to get your dog to understand "come" or "heel" commands when they are given some space.
When used for walks or at visits to pet stores or groomers or vets, these teach a dog that pulling on the leash is how they get their way instead of behaving and listening while on a leash.
We understand there is a plastic pin for a "locking mechanism" that some people implicitly trust. That piece of plastic does not mean you or your dog are secure or safe.
This leash pictured below is even appropriately labeled as an amputation hazard, eye hazard and cutting hazard. So many injuries are possible for you and your dog that make it unsafe. Trust us when we say no one wants your dog on a retractable leash at a vet clinic, groomer or pet store.
Help keep everyone safe and toss that retractable leash in the trash and find a 4-6 foot leash instead.

Not long enough!!!

How Long Do Weimaraners Live? Statistics reveal to us data that the Weimaraner breed has lifespan ranging from 11 to 14 years.

You get what you pay for! This is across the board! Not every weim is created equal!

A battle cry to the public.

So many breeders are selling puppies way below the price should be to get quality care and pedigree/lines.

Please understand that if that is all that is supported you are putting all of our dogs at risk. Responsible and ethical breeders cannot stay in business and hold the standards that our dogs deserve.

From careful selection of parents, health testing, veterinary care, quality nutrition, puppy curriculum, puppy evaluations, and on and on.

I am seeing ethical and responsible breeders pausing left and right and what I need you to know is that if all of our GOOD breeders are reducing our litters and or stopping breeding altogether (we will not breed to any other standard other than of excellence) then what will be left of our dogs? Our lines?

I need this message to be heard LOUD AND CLEAR. Our dogs are at risk. I know the economy is crappy. We are all feeling that, but please save, be patient, and research before getting a dog at a price that is "too good to be true".

I am watching this all unfold before my eyes and I need your help!

Please protect all of our ethical breeders.

Buy responsibly.

Our dogs deserve it.

Our ethical breeders are the ones we want to protect, preserve, and create the healing power of the dog. We do not want the fate of our dogs left in the hands of ill-intention breeders.
