Pups will be ready around the last week of November 2003. They are AKC registered and will have their first shots, a buy-back health guarantee and outdoor potty experience. Both parents are on the premises. Spending the first three weeks in our master bedroom and the last five weeks in a heated kennel in our basement, these pups will have been pampered for eight weeks, from their birth to their departure. We put an extraordinary amount of time into their care by monitoring their weight gain , nutrition and hygiene daily. This may be the last season that we maintain our $450 price . The quality of the dogs would make your travel to Heartwood worthwhile . We will not crate and ship a dog because our reputation and demand makes it unnecessary. We are willing to meet a new owner half way for an additional travel fee.
The 2003 litter is 9 males and 2 females. Two of the males and the two females are reserved. We are getting many calls preferring female pups. Height and size are legitimate issues but if the fear is "humping"grandma's leg, my male never exhibited that behavior. I followed up on the four males placed from last years litter and they too have behaved themselves. Such mounting of legs is a matter of dominance which may come from a poor self -image. I think our Weims know they are beautiful but they also know their place in the human and dog relationship.
We prefer to get to know the owners and evaluate the lifestyle of their potential homes to avoid having a dog end up in a shelter. These dogs are family dogs and need companionship and do not do well being left alone a full work day. They need space and exercise and we prefer that city dwellers have a fenced in yard. By six weeks we have a better understanding of the pups individual personalities--who is the hunter, who is dominant (in the litter), who is needy and who is the quiet loner. They are wonderful with children of all ages. The males are as calm and gentle as the females and do not exhibit dominant behavior that many people fear. References and pictures of last years pups as adults, are available.
