What people call your Weim?

    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.

    I can relate. My answer should be fairly obvious, considering the site name 😉

    haha 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.

    My 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.

    Velvet dogs. That’s a new one. Cute though.

    People 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.  🙂

    Funny thing, I’m so used to the name Weimanamanama now that I actually called it out loud when we past someone walking a Weim today.
