What people call your Weim?
-
elsie-piperParticipant
I think it is funny, and I know alot of you can relate. Most of the time we are out with our two weims, a lot of people come up to us and compliment how pretty our “grey hounds” are or to day we got ours call beautiful ” great danes”. I find it funny to see what they are going to get called next. You tell them they are weimaraners then they respond, a weim a what? Makes walks entertaining.
BasGModeratorI can relate. My answer should be fairly obvious, considering the site name 😉

jmaeParticipantMyaModeratorI feel I have heard it all. Two recent ones are wienermaier and weimerthinger.

KatieParticipanthaha yes, we get asked if she is a greyhound or a silver lab often and have heard all kids of name butchering. The funniest to me is from my mother in law. Without fail she calls them watt-weimers, even though she has heard us say it a thousand times.
Tina in HollandParticipantMy neighbor called them great danes for the longest, I didn’t correct her (she had little bitty dogs, so S & A seemed huge to her). I had one lady in the woods exclaim to her husband “Look! Velvet dogs.” I thought that was so sweet.
BasGModeratorSgreccoParticipantPeople ask me a lot if Jaeger is a baby Great Dane! One lady came up to me another time and said, “oh I just love grey hounds. They are my favorite breed.” I didn’t have the heart to tell her she was clearly confused. 🙂

CliveClaireParticipantMyaModeratorMy coworker always calls them “wieneramers or whatever the heck your dog is called”
and we obviously call them our weimanamanama’s
