[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband grew up with two on a farm. So he will get to get the dog he has wanted since they died and I’ll get a running partner. I’ve been running in the mornings through winter and was harassed a little running in the dark. Not enough to call the police but I’d feel safer if I had a dog with me. I also looked into Weirmaraners. Any thoughts? Less active/ destructive?[/quote]

Vizsla poster again. We had a Weim for 13 years before the Vizsla. I do think she had a bit less energy, but it’s so hard to know if it was just that particular dog. Our Weim was much more aloof than our V is though, and they have a bit of a reputation for that. Also much more anxious. I’ve heard that GSPs are the most rambunctious (and biggest jumpers—as in jump over your fence) of the three breeds.  My DH also wanted a GSP.  I see lots of Vizslas at the dog park (like 10 regularly go to the dog park we go to), a few GSPs (like 2), but rarely see a Weim. Dogs get trendy though like everything else so might just be a reflection of trend.[/quote]

Was your weim crate trained? As I said in the OP I’ll need to be able to leave them alone in the house for no more than 4 hours at a time. And was it a good family dog? PP mentioned a lab and I considered a one (not my husband) but no lab I know makes a good running partner.[/quote]
