My family is thinking about getting a weimaraner, apart from very much wanting this dog as a pet we want it to help ease the passing of your old dog, Penny. Both for her, hoping a puppy will breathe new life into her, and for the children who love and need Penny. There are two things that worry me about this, firstly, our dog is picky about who she is with, but loves puppies and has gotten along with other dogs, we are hoping that if she knows it from a puppy she will be more tolerant of it. Still, and my fear is we get a dog and find it's not compatable with penny and find we can't have the puppy after all. Is there any type of person who can come and see dogs, analyze them and see if they can be compatible with a second dog? My second worry is finding a reputable breeder for the pup, I'm terrified by the idea of getting tricked by a good looking business that is in fact a puppy mill, so if anyone knows a reputable breeder I would be so grateful. I live in silver Spring maryland, but if none are in Maryland then driving to Virginia or Pennsylvania is not an issue.
Thank you so much.
