WCA Breeder Referral

Expecting Puppies?

by Billie Thompson

A new litter of puppies fills us with excitement, hopes and dreams. It’s a perfect time to
take advantage of your WCA Breeder Referral service.
A few things you might like to know about this service.
• I do not screen inquiries. Instead, that is up to each individual breeder. Breeders

have individual preferences for selecting potential homes for their puppies.
• The greater number of inquiries comes from people wanting a well-bred puppy and

some have also done a little research on the breed.
• The majority of inquiries are from people that do not want to travel far for a pup,

though I encourage them to consider greater distances.
• The majority of inquiries indicate they want to obtain a puppy from a

reputable breeder.
• If no one has listed a litter in an area preferred by an inquiry, I give out contacts for

any local clubs nearby as well.
This service is available to all WCA members. Futurity litters are automatically placed on
the list. If your litter is not nominated, simply email your information to me to be placed
on the list.
Everyone is welcome to notify me as early as pregnancy is confirmed!
Your information should include - sire and dam, approximate due date, your city, state,
email and phone number.
Please send this information to [email protected].
Thank you, and best of luck with your litters!

Stress and the Skin

Skin conditions have long been considered
to be indicators of psychological distress
although only recently has evidence for
this begun to accrue. A growing number of
research studies now provide evidence that
emotional stress is linked to skin conditions
such as atopic dermatitis.

Some of this research suggests that
emotional stress can cause impairments to
the skin barrier. Research conducted with
mouse models has shown that emotional
stress from social isolation can disrupt skin
barrier function, and that this disruption can
be reversed with anxiolytics (Denda et al.,
1998, 2000).

In people, undergraduate students have
been shown to exhibit impaired skin
barrier function during times of heightened
psychological stress, and improved skin
barrier function during times of reduced
psychological stress (Garg et al., 2001).

Dear WCA members,

The WCA Junior Committee would like to continue to keep a Further
Education Scholarship program going for our Junior members to encourage
them to be involved and learn to be our breed's future.

The Junior Committee was delighted at the response from members for
donations to the Junior Member Scholarship drive in 2022. The Board of
Directors has been beneficial in this cause. We want to continue having
members contribute to this fund to sustain it. This can be done in a couple
of ways. You can still specifically offer an amount to support a particular
category or donate an amount that would be used over a variety of categories
as needed.

You may donate towards the Top Junior in the following categories: Junior
Showmanship, Conformation, Obedience, Field events, and Agility. Or
towards Best Junior Handler at the 2023 National.

Please let me know if you are interested in supporting those categories
as needed. Please let me know if you would like your donation to go to a
specific category.

Any funds not won during a competition year will be carried over to the next
year. Other Titles for miscellaneous events are covered with certificates and
recognition in the magazine.

To make a Scholarship Donation, please go to the WCA Website at https://
weimaranerclubofamerica.org/ and go to the "Make a Payment" box on the
upper right of the home page, then to DONATE to the "WCA General Fund
or the WCA Juniors Program," Pull down to WCA Juniors Program, then
Donate with PayPal or Credit Card button.

Thank you in advance to anyone who would like to support our youth. Please
contact me at my e-mail address for any more information or how to donate.

Sincerely,
Barbara Taylor,
Chair and the WCA Junior Committee

Tessa:

a rescue story

On August 26, 2021, the SPCA in Dallas contacted Weimaraner Rescue Texas
to ask for assistance in placing 46 Weimaraners that a breeder had surrendered.
Several rescue groups took in the dogs for placement: Weimaraner Rescue
Texas, Arkansas Weimaraner Rescue, Mile High Weimaraner Rescue, Grey
Ghost Weimaraner Rescue and Oregon Weimaraner Rescue. The Weimaraner
Foundation Fund was glad to be able to assist with the large expenditures
needed for veterinary care. The following is the story of one Weimaraner who
was cared for by the Weimaraner Rescue community.

Are You A Hostage To Your
Weimaraner?

By: Chris Conklin Edited by Linda Swanson, 2022

Imagine this: You are held hostage by your Weimaraner. You cannot leave the
house to do any brief errand and leave your Weimaraner alone because he will
destroy the house, become completely unglued, and bark and howl in misery. Does

this sound familiar?
Weimaraners are notorious for being prone to separation anxiety, but some behaviors
are normal and due to boredom. Actual separation anxiety is a highly anxious mental
state where your Weimaraner cannot cope with your absence, which manifests in
negative behavior. When left alone, your dog may drool, bark, or howl excessively;
he may inappropriately urinate, defecate, or be highly destructive.
Separation anxiety can have genetic roots, so one of the most straightforward preven-
tive measures is to purchase a pup whose parents are not prone to it.
Some early signs of separation anxiety typically involve a Weimaraner that paces,
whines or cries when an owner leaves the room or the house for a short period, espe-
cially when other family members are still present.
With a new Weimaraner puppy, establishing a routine that involves crating the puppy
not only when you are gone but at set times when you are home will get him accus-
tomed to his crate and being alone.
Giving your puppy behavioral responsibilities like waiting when entering and ex-
iting doors and at dinner times is essential. Do not give your puppy, no matter how
well-behaved, all of the privileges of an adult dog, like sleeping in your bed or being
loose unattended in your home.
Older Weimaraners, such as those newly adopted from a rescue, should be treated
like a puppy with a bigger attention span. Don’t move them in like they have lived
with you forever; reserve privileges for them to earn as they learn the rules and rou-
tines of your household.
If you have a Weim with separation anxiety, here are some tips on how to deal with
separation anxiety.

Page 20

Why Are Weims Prone to Separation Anxiety?

As a very intelligent breed, Weims are often given privileges in the home that they
are not emotionally capable of handling or that make their owners appear weak or
submissive. 

As Weim owners, we tend to make them integral to the functions of our households and
lives without giving them enough behavioral responsibilities.

They begin to think we cannot function in our own homes without their input or pres-
ence, so when we leave, they are brought to a state of panic that we, as submissive
pack members versus leaders, are alone in the bigger world without them. In a pack
situation, only the more dominant members leave for hunting; lower, weaker and sub-
missive members are most often left to watch young and guard the den.

of Dogs

For rescue dogs, a crate provides a safe

as well as the luxury of not having to
fight for their own space. Crates provide
comfort to rescue dogs, since some
are fearful around certain people or

September 6-8, 2022•Conley Ranch, Tigh Valley, OR

Chair: Leslie Like | Secretary: Lisa DeLeonardo
The Willamette Weimaraner Club held the 2022 Western Field Classic in Tygh Valley,
OR at the beautiful Conley Ranch beginning Tuesday, September 6th and concluding
Thursday, September 8th. The event was small with 45 entries but we had a great group
in attendance, representing five western states as well as two Canadian provinces! The
weather was very warm and sunny, so we started as early as we could each morning

to beat the heat. We had five fantastic judges who kept the stakes moving along and
everyone running on time so we could wrap up the day prior to when the temperature

climbed into the mid-90’s.
A huge THANK YOU to all of the club members, the landowners, and the non-
club member volunteers who worked extremely hard to make this event extremely
welcoming, efficient, and fun. We appreciate everyone who helped get the event
organized and set up, the gunners, bird planters, and folks who prepared meals each
day. It truly takes a village to run a trial, and everyone gladly pitched in where needed.

How To Tell If My Dog Is
Overweight

By JoAnna Pendergrass, DVM
used with permission from healthypawspetinsurance.com

Good physical health is key to a dog living a happy and fun-filled life, with energy to
spare. But being overweight can throw a heavy wrench into the fun and games.

How can you tell if your dog is overweight, and what can you do about it?

Before you start searching for those extra pounds on your dog, let’s first explain the
issue of overweight dogs. Then we’ll talk about how you can recognize if your dog
is overweight and what you can do to help your dog lose the weight and keep it off.

What is “Overweight” for a Dog?

For dogs, overweight is defined as being 10 to 20% above ideal body weight. A dog is
obese when they are at least 20% above their ideal body weight.

Many dogs in the United States weigh more than they should. According to the 2018
survey by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 56% of dogs are either over-
weight or obese. So the problem of excess pounds in dogs is big (no pun intended).

How Do Dogs Become Overweight?

Overweight dogs typically get that way by eating more calories than they’re burning
off. For example, pet parents may pour too much into the food bowl or go extra-heavy
on the treats. Even for dogs with a healthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle without much
exercise will eventually lead to weight gain.

Other reasons for excess weight gain are water retention and metabolic conditions,
such as hypothyroidism.

What Are the Health Risks Associated with Being Overweight?

Overweight dogs are at risk for a variety of health problems, such as those listed
below:

• Diabetes

• Joint problems

• Heart disease

• Bladder stones

• Cancer

• High blood pressure

Interestingly, fat tissue is biologically ac-
tive, secreting inflammatory hormones that
can negatively affect a dog’s health.

Carrying around excess weight can also
shorten a dog’s lifespan.

Page 35

How Do I Know If My Dog is Overweight?

We see so many images of overweight dogs that it can be hard to know what a healthy
body weight looks like for dogs. Fortunately, you can do several easy at-home assess-
ments to tell if your dog is overweight. These assessments involve observing your
dog’s physical appearance and behavior.

Physical appearance

• Look from above. Take a bird’s eye
view of your dog’s body. When you look
down, you should see a clearly defined
waist. If your dog has a round body with
no defined waist, he’s probably over-
weight.

• Look from the side. When a dog is
at their ideal body weight, their waist
is tucked up, coming up from the ribs.
A dog with a sagging waist and belly is
overweight.

• Feel for fat pads. Overweight dogs
tend to have fat pads at the tops of their
hips or in between their legs.

• Feel for the ribs. You should be able
to see and feel your dog’s ribs easily. If
your dog is overweight, his ribs will be
hidden under the extra fat.

Behavior

• Watch your dog move. Extra pounds make it more difficult for an overweight dog
to move around.

• Observe your dog’s breathing. An overweight dog can quickly become out of
breath when walking because of the extra effort needed to move.

If these assessments have you concerned that your dog is overweight, take your dog
to your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will weigh your dog and determine your dog’s
body condition score (BCS). The BCS is a tool to indicate whether a dog is at an ideal
body weight, overweight, or obese. A score of 6/9 or above indicates that a dog is
overweight or obese.

What Do I Do If My Dog Is Overweight?

It’s common for dog parents to feel guilty that their dog is overweight. Don’t worry,
though. Your veterinarian isn’t secretly judging you about your dog’s weight. They un-
derstand how you’re feeling and will work with you to develop a practical weight loss
plan for your dog, which will involve dietary changes, exercise, and regular weigh-ins.

Your veterinarian will use your dog’s current body weight to determine a daily caloric
amount for gradual weight loss (1 to 5 pounds per month). They will also consider your
dog’s overall health status, especially if your dog has special dietary needs or physical
limitations (e.g., arthritis). Weight loss plans require commitment and dedication, so
make sure the plan is something you and your household can commit to for the long
haul.

Page 36

Dietary changes

Your dog’s new diet will contain fewer calories
to promote weight loss. However, this is not as
simple as cutting back on the current food; this
can decrease nutrient intake, increasing the risk
of nutritional deficiencies.

Instead, your veterinarian will recommend a
special weight loss diet. These diets are calori-
cally dense, meaning that they meet all of your
dog’s nutritional needs with fewer calories.

Treats aren’t necessarily forbidden in a weight
loss plan, but calories from treats can quickly
add up. Healthy, low-calorie treat options include blueberries, green beans, and banan-
as. Your veterinarian will let you know precisely how many calories your dog can get
from treats each day.

Exercise

Exercising will help your dog burn calories and lose weight. There are plenty of fun
ways to help your dog be more active, such as frisbee and long walks around the neigh-
borhood. Depending on your dog’s current activity level and mobility, your veterinari-
an will suggest safe exercise options for your dog. To avoid injury, gradually ramp up
your dog’s physical activity.

Regular weigh-ins

Weighing your dog a few times a month will help you and your veterinarian determine
how well the weight loss is progressing. If your dog has hit a plateau or isn’t losing
weight at the desired rate, the weight loss plan can be adjusted.

How Do I Maintain My Dog’s Weight Loss?

Maintaining weight loss is just as important as losing weight. Your veterinarian will
recommend a maintenance diet to prevent rebound weight gain when your dog reaches
his ideal body weight. You’ll also need to continue focusing on daily exercise for your
dog.

Bringing It Together

Being overweight is no fun for a dog. Excess weight can make it difficult to run around
and play. If your dog is overweight, work with your veterinarian to develop a weight
loss plan for your dog. If your dog is still at a healthy weight, keep a close watch for
signs of excess weight gain and take action to help your dog shed those extra pounds.

Teaching Young Children to
Respect Dogs

By Denise Flaim
used with permission from akc.org

Just as dogs need to be trained, so do children. At the earliest age, you can begin to
teach the fundamentals of respecting animals and their boundaries. A staple around
our house was “Tails Are Not for Pulling” by Elizabeth Verdick, whose title is a
handy catch-phrase to repeat when a yank of any body part looks imminent.
In my house, however, the anatomy did not generalize. One day I found 3-year-old
Allie crouched beside Blitz, who was sprawled out on his side, long past his initial
trepidation about the kids; in fact, as the babysitter story shows, he now fancied himself
their personal mascot. As I walked by, Allie reached out to Blitz, who jerked his head
up suddenly, then sighed and dropped it to the ground, resigned.
“What did you do?” I asked Allie, who looked very pleased with herself.
“I squeezed his butt,” she announced proudly, pointing at his testicles.
That occasioned an impromptu “Testicles Are Not for Tugging” discussion, which in
turn led to an exploration of physiological gender differences. That’s the great thing
about having dogs: Being naked all the time, they are great springboards for the “birds
and bees” discussions that make some adults so very nervous.
Reality check
As Allie’s game of tug demonstrates all too clearly, potentially dangerous situations
between kids and dogs happen. Even the best-behaved child disobeys now and then,
even the most trustworthy decides to see what it feels like to break the rules. I was
fortunate that I had a well-temperamented dog with a high tolerance about his personal
space among his “pack.”
I remember several years back, covering a tragic story for the newspaper that I worked
for at the time. A little girl had been strangled to death in the backyard by the family
Golden Retriever. The dog was playing tug with her scarf – it was a complete freak
accident.
I interviewed experts and behaviorists at the time, one of whom announced definitely
that parents should ensure that children and dogs are never left unsupervised. I asked if
she had kids. Of course, she didn’t.

Page 38

If you have kids, you know that sometimes it’s just unavoidable to leave the two
species together – if only for a minute to run some laundry to the basement, or check
the dinner on the stove. Life happens. Constant supervision is ideal, but sometimes you
just can’t be in control of everything. That’s not resignation – that’s reality.

And 99 percent of the time, things go absolutely perfectly. But then there are those
rare, tragic events that remind us that there are two parts to the term “companion
dog.” Love them as we do, these are animals, with sharp teeth and instincts that we
sometimes cannot predict. Always err on the side of caution. You do both your children
and your dog a favor in being as conservative as possible, and supervising as much as
you can, especially with visiting children in the house. When in doubt, use the crate.
A bell cannot be unrung, an egg cannot be unscrambled – and some “mistakes” on the
part of an otherwise stable and loving dog can exact a heavy toll.

Teach kids to speak dog

At every age, kids will have new questions about their interactions with the family dog,
and you need to keep your antennae primed for them. Just this week, Stephen, now 8,
woefully informed me that our newest puppy, Gigi, no longer liked him because she
was nipping at him. When I told Stephen that Gigi was getting mouthy because she had
been playing with her visiting brother Duke, and dogs wrestle with their mouths just as
he and his sisters do with their hands, he broke into a big grin. Gigi not only liked him,
he realized; she was trying to play with him.

At an early age, I taught my kids the command “Seek high ground.” This is useful when
they are nibbling on a cheese stick and are surrounded by a throng of red fur; standing
on the couch, mozzarella held aloft like Lady Liberty’s torch, they have a chance at
keeping it. But the “high ground” mantra always works when two dogs are playing
and the action looks intense, or when a new dog comes over and is introduced into the
pack. The children are made to understand that when there is a lot of excitement among
the dogs, they need to get out of the way, lest they get mixed up and inadvertently hurt
if things escalate.

Another thing they learned was how their • At every age, kids will have

all for positive reinforcement, but when I
have a 90-pound male Ridgeback looking
for a hormone hug with a 70-pound
second-grader, we do what works. And
that works.)

Harness the helpfulness

Younger children love to be helpers, and
mine vie to do even the most mundane
tasks: stuffing Kongs with peanut butter;
wetting, wringing and freezing washcloths
when teething is going full tilt; filling the

Page 39

water bowl up – and up, and up …

The kids have learned to ask, “Have
the dogs eaten yet?” which is a
signal they are debating whether to
permit a doggie kiss on the lips. Our
home rule is no face contact for one
hour after the dogs have eaten.

When I have a litter, I could not
ask for better puppy socializers.
My kids are in the whelping box
constantly. They delight in handling
the puppies, naming them, noting
their differences in appearance
and temperament. They are never
there unsupervised, and have been
taught to be gentle; if they break any
rule, they lose their box privileges.
This results in puppies who are
programmed to love little kids; as adult dogs, when they see a little human, even on the
horizon, their bodies waggle and wiggle in delight.

It’s important to remember, though, that kids, like dogs, are individuals. My youngest
daughter, Krista, could take the dogs, or leave them. I suspect both nature and nurture
have a hand in being “doggie”: Some kids are just more drawn to these furry folk than
others, and that’s OK.

Chicken or the egg?

What’s the better approach: Get your dog first, and then add the kids? Or acquire the
dog as a puppy once the children are old enough, so that there are no adjustment issues?

Tough call, and a very individual one. Your mileage may vary, but, having done both,
I have to say – with younger children, at least – the former worked best for me, hands
down. I have added three Ridgebacks to my household since I had my kids, and I can
honestly say that the amount of time I spent training and socializing my first dogs was
significantly less. Not to say that my later dogs are hooligans, but in the push-me-pull-
you that is parenthood, you can’t do it all.

Having dogs first gives you a chance to enjoy them fully, learn their quirks and
idiosyncrasies, and lay the relationship groundwork for the challenges that come with
kids and an expanding household.

Another advantage to bringing kids into a household with dogs is the immune-system
benefit. Studies show that children who grow up with dogs (and cats) are less likely to
develop asthma and allergies to a wide variety of allergens, but – here’s the clincher
– exposure during the first year of life is key. After that, the preventive benefits are
severely decreased.

Know your breed

Ridgebacks are the consummate family dog, and once mine recalibrated their definition
of our family, we were in for smooth sailing. My babies were foreign things to Blitz
until, over time, he came to realize they were ours. Once he understood that, he became
their friend, their protector, and their dear friend.

Page 40

Other breeds may have different default settings. Mastiffs, for example, are hard-wired
to adore women and children, even ones they do not know; they may be quicker than
my Ridgebacks to embrace new human pack members. Terriers, by contrast, sometimes
have less patience with small children. Again, your breeder or a reliable trainer can
help you sort out some of these questions, or give you an in-depth evaluation if your
dog is a mix, or a rescue of any breed or combination whose history you may not know.

Taking it to the next level

Because I spend so much time at
dog shows, I wanted to make them a
family affair. I have a special “dog-
show bag” in the car that contains
games and books that can only be
played with at a dog show. This
not only keeps the kids distracted
when I am showing – frantic calls
of “Mommy! Mommy! He hit me!”
on the go-round do not do much for
my ring presentation – but also is an
incentive to go in the first place.

Stephen and Allie have started
to go to handling classes, and I
try to reward them with positive
reinforcement: A trip through the
drive-through for a celebratory
smoothie, or a chance to interact with (and sometimes do a few laps with) other dogs
in class, including “exotic” breeds like Leonbergers and Bernese Mountain Dogs. The
biggest pay-off for them, however, is being told by the instructor that they have done a
better handling job than I have. Ahem.

Learning the mechanics of any dog sports, from agility to obedience, can be
overwhelming – so many nuances to master – and in this the basics of dog training
apply: Break the task up into small pieces. Teach the pieces backward. Reward every
accomplishment. Don’t fixate on the imperfections. Don’t drill. Make it fun.

Step back

Kids and dogs are a lot of work, both can make spectacular messes if not supervised
properly, and it takes a lot of time to raise them properly. They bring to the surface all
your shortcomings, as in the crunch of bringing them up you confront old patterns and
programming that makes you work on yourself, too.

But their gift is their visceral delight in the world that many of us adults lost sight of
long ago. When you watch a relationship between a child and her dog – the whispered
confidences, the gleeful playbowing, the sheer joy of running in the grass together –
you rediscover what it’s all about.

And as the dogs turn gray and then white and then are no more – Blitz passed last year,
and Diva grows older by the minute, it seems – I don’t have any better explanation for
the children than the one I give myself: The dogs leave to make room for the new ones
to follow, to give us a fresh infusion of joy and wonder at this marvelous, unfolding
miracle called life.
