Weims are the best. I have two and they have great personalities.

Here's Brolly. Just picked him up from the breeder yesterday. He's a Doberman Pinscher and he'll be 11 weeks old on Tuesday. I'm sure you homebrewers can figure out the significance of his name.
Forgot the pics...
D'oh!
Once again...
Opie (white) and Mabel (brindle)
Mable has her papers, Opie is a rescue.
Geez... I knew it got hot in Louisiana, but if you are resorting to shaving your dogs...
Oh yes, its gross.
I backwards quoted, just for you.
I think they're cute. In their own way.

They look a lot more puppy-ish to me now. Partially because of the short hair in and of itself... but also, the fact that their legs are shaved makes their paws look bigger, which is a very puppy trait. I think its funny how much lighter otter (the one on the right) is when he's shaved.
My friends always thought that Jacks (a previous Aussie) "looked like a little boy" when he was shaved, which I agree too. My groomer always sent him back with a bandana around his neck.
How much did you pay for the shave job - or did you do it yourself? I got quoted $56 per dog.
MC
60 each, which included bath and whatnot. I have shaved otter on a couple occasions, took over an hour, didn't look very good. Worth the money if you ask me.
Yeah definitely. I've shaved Jacks once before and it looked pretty crappy. Not sure I see the value in bathing a dog you're about to shave
I don't know about your Aussies, but I think mine are made of cotton. They soak up any water they run into like a cotton rag. Fortunately they don't like water, they walk around puddles and seldom get wet.
MC
Unlike yours, mine LOVE LOVE LOVE water and take advantage of any opportunity to put themselves in close contact with anything wet.
Out of 5 Aussies I've owned, only one would get in the drink on her own. The rest would look like they were telling me: "It's not in my contract".
MC
This is not an issue I am familiar with.
I think I noticed an instigating black lab in Pic #3.

Gibson (golden retriever) and Kenobi (irish setter)
We lost Gibson to cancer a year ago.
here are my dogs. the big one is a pit bull american bull dog mix I got from a rescue and the little one is a rat terrier shizu mix (a rat ****, I call it) and a boxer pup. the boxer I got just before I deployed but my wife says he is as big as my pit now.
