Dog Name: Lola

Breed: Weimaraner

Born (Date/Location): 2000, who knows where?

About the owners: Lola's mom and dad adopted her from Weimaraner Rescue of North Texas in the summer of 2005. Her momma is a nurse and spent over a year training and socilizing dogs in a local shelter. Lola's dad is undergoing training now and will be an airline pilot within the year. Both mom and dad (Lola and her brother) are big fans of the Texas Longhorns- Lola even got her own jersey to wear for the 2006 national championship game!



What makes your dog special: Lola is our first Weimaraner. We thought we knew what to expect and that it would be easy to control... um wrong! She has been a big challenge compared to TK, simply because she is much more interested in pleasing herself than TK has ever been. She is very smart and VERY food motivated, so it's easy to teach her new things, but the problem thereafter is convincing her that obeying is the best choice to make at the time.

Like most Weimies, Lola has a big case of separation anxiety. It's another challenge because, while her brother also went though a spell he got over it. Lola, on the other hand, seems to never improve and actually, sometimes, get worse! Lucky for her, mom and dad's work schedules are such that she is rarely ever left alone.

Likes/dislikes:

• Likes: Interaction with all people, constant companionship, food, swimming, retrieiving on occasion, food, people, food, tug, gutting toys, and food... and people
• Dislikes: Being left alone, obeying, walking on a loose leash (though I think we have made a breakthrough recently!)
