Willow

Willow is a purebred weimaraner (not registered,
due to being a BLUE weim.). She is up to date
on all shots, is spayed, and microchipped. She
was born on June 21,1998. purchased from hunting
stock weims in Union, Oregon, the John Poppy
farm. She is very elegant looking, and gets
lots of attention on walks!
Willow has been, and still is, a fine hunting
dog, with a sleek build and energy. She loves
to walk, and walks well on a leash. Michael
calls her back with a loud whistle, if hunting.
She is extremely affectionate, never having
shown any aggression toward people - family or
strangers. She is standoffish with other dogs,
but is able to become used to them after a
while, usually just ignoring them. She prefers
people to other dogs.
She has never been ill, other than having a
yeast infex in the ear one time; She is a bit
hard of hearing.
The reason we wish to find her another home is
this: She has a terrible fear of thunder, and
of fireworks. (Oddly enough, she is NOT afraid
of gunfire, when hunting!) We lived on a farm
in Oregon, and then outside of town in Alaska,
and there is no thunder at all in the Anchorage
area, so this didn't become a problem until we
moved into town in Ogden. She runs away blindly
if she hears thunder, and the neighbors have
brought her back several times. Tying her
doesn't help, and she also has a fine garden
house with a dog door, but she only wants to be
in the house when a storm comes. She is housed
with a lab who is NOT afraid of these things,
but this does not help her.
Because we have severe allergy problems, we are
not able to have her in, although she does well
inside. In Alaska she had a heated garage, and
wore coats outside. She IS housebroken, but can
have an occasional accident if frightened by the
above sounds. But she isn't frightened, if with
people.
Willow wants nothing more than to be petted and
cuddled, and would do this all day if possible!
We have never seen a more affectionate dog. We
love her, but we think that she needs to be
indoors - at least during storms/fireworks)
- with affectionate people who are set up to do
this. We think this would be best for her.
