What lovely stories Jackie. its lovely to know our beloved breed can be used to enrich people's lives....several years ago a young man came t see us with a severe case of MS and he was looking for a special companion.....'River' went to him and learned alll the gentle natured requirements that a person with this debilitating illness needed and we saw them a year later and what a happy and well bahved dog River was who knew his owners boundaries. I think Weimaraners can make wonderful special needs dogs. Narelle

Penny Lane has taught us what was needed in a service dog more than we have taught her. She barks too much to use for all the things my son's prior service dog did in the community but she tells us when his breathing is changing and makes us feel safe to sleep at night knowing she is constantly checking on my son. She is just what we need for this time in our lives.

I thought you might like to see this to show just how wonderful our grey friends can be and to show that they have a good history at helping the disabled live a full life. This was a feature article in the WCA magasine in October 1952 on 'Gretchen von Dottlyle'...

Does any one know how to train my weim as a service dog. I have a boy with epilepsy and every time he has a seizure, the dog gets anxious and gets out of the room and seats quietly in his bed (he doesn't like to see my boy suffering). I'm sure he can detect the seizure but i do not know how to train him to alert me. Marcia
