re: high energy dog breed question

I had a Weim for 13 years. She was 95 lbs of muscle (abnormally large for a female.) It was literally impossible to tire her out when she was young. Took her to Ames Plantation in TN and bird hunted from horseback all day. Never even thought about getting tired. Excellent pointer/retriever. They are notorious for skin & ear infections though. Biggest problem is that for their first 2.5 years, their purpose in life at home is to consume, destroy and stay in the middle of your business. They suffer from separation anxiety and want to be around their poeple 24/7. Very loyal, protective and loving to their family. Both of our kids were born during her lifetime and she was very protective of them. Have a GSP now and she is like Weim Light.
