Weimaraner Klub tattoo number or Chip ID:

Reason for rescue request:: We love our dog but have had a few progressively worsening incidents between him and children in which he has become aggressive toward them without apparent cause. In the first incident, he was walking next to a 2 year old boy who did not antagonise the dog in any way and he growled, bared his teeth and snapped at the boys face without doing any physical harm. we though it would help to have him neutered and he calmed down a lot after that (about 1 month ago). Then over this last week end, a six year old girl was visiting us and she was walking in the garden carrying our little dog and Duke jumped up and bit the child in the face. She did have punctured skin and some bleeding but no stitches were necessary. He has always been very jealous by nature and dominates our little jack russle cross sausage dog, more due to size and strength differences than aggression. He hates its when she gets any attention either verbal or contact with anyone and then becomes physically dominant with her. We have an 18 month old son to whom Duke has never displayed any aggression but we worry that with many of our friends having young children the next incident could be with even worse consequences. We feel that he needs a home with little contact with children, either as an only dog or with other big dogs who he can bond with. I personally don’t feel that we can trust him around children on our property.

Please describe the dog’s temperament: Aggressive towards children

Describe the current living conditions: House

I wonder if you can point me in the right direction please.

I have a 4 yr old male Weimaraner named Hugo and a 4yr old male German Pointer named Dax that I need to find a new home for due to a divorce and the fact that I am away on business more than I would like to be at the moment and they are not getting the attention they deserve.  They are both well natured dogs but are not used to children. I would like them to go to the same home if possible. Any ideas or associations I can contact that will be able to assist.

Please advise
