William Wegman Puppies

Amazon.com

Fay's radiance inspired Wegman to greater creative depths: he began dressing her up to appear almost human, a common theme in his photographs. Fay starred in many Wegman titles, including ABC and Cinderella. It is Fay's children, and later her grandchildren, who take the center stage in William Wegman's Puppies. Wegman's photographs are, as always, astonishing, capturing the beauty and individualism of each puppy. He labels his photographs with humorous bylines: a puppy sitting in a planter is labeled "Pup Pot." The exceptional physique of the Weimaraner becomes more pronounced as the puppies grow; at two weeks, the puppies are almost extraterrestrial in appearance, with large ears and wrinkled skins. But they are still exquisite, and the photos capture every expression and posture. Wegman has the utmost respect for his dogs, and his subjects are in turn fully content and relaxed in the presence of their photographer. Wegman has the ability to draw us exceptionally close to his dogs, and this wonderful collection captures the true spirit and beauty of the Weimaraner.

Book Description

Widely respected for his stunningly astute observations of dogs (more specifically, of the majestic Weimaraner), William Wegman once again dazzles with Puppies. Here Wegman chronicles three generations of Weimaraners with his insightful commentary and exceptional photography. Wegman's love for his dogs is expressed in every photograph and in every line of his awe-filled text. Speaking about his second Weimaraner, Fay, the author says, "She looked like she had wandered out of a Rousseau painting. Those luminous yellow eyes." Fay's radiance inspired Wegman to greater creative depths: he began dressing her up to appear almost human, a common theme in his photographs. Fay starred in many Wegman titles, including ABC and Cinderella. It is Fay's children, and later her grandchildren, who take the center stage in William Wegman's Puppies. Wegman's photographs are, as always, astonishing, capturing the beauty and individualism of each puppy. He labels his photographs with humorous bylines: a puppy sitting in a planter is labeled "Pup Pot." The exceptional physique of the Weimaraner becomes more pronounced as the puppies grow; at two weeks, the puppies are almost extraterrestrial in appearance, with large ears and wrinkled skins. But they are still exquisite, and the photos capture every expression and posture. Wegman has the utmost respect for his dogs, and his subjects are in turn fully content and relaxed in the presence of their photographer. Wegman has the ability to draw us exceptionally close to his dogs, and this wonderful collection captures the true spirit and beauty of the Weimaraner.

a little disappointed.......2007-03-27

I wish this book had more pages - more written pages as well as more photos. The story about how it all started was great, but it seemed to end prematurely. One can read this book in 5 minutes. And I really wish there were more photos like the ones we associate with william wegman's work (like in calendars, for example) instead of only the few at the end. It seemed like there were just more artsy photos of the dogs and puppies. But still a delightful little book.

Adorable Calendar!!.......2006-03-16

I am a huge Weimaraner fan, and so when I saw this I was so excited. The puppies in the calendar are just so cute! The pictures are great, with two pictures per month. William Wegman is an incredible photographer! I have seen other pictures of his, and the ones in this calander are fantastic.

Always good for a giggle!.......2006-02-25

As always, the William Wegman Puppies Calendar is adorable! If you love Weimaraner puppies - this calendar is a must!

Wegman and Weimerainer Fans .......2005-12-02

Have enjoyed Wegman's photography for 15 years. Loved Man Ray shots, loved Fay Ray shots, have followed Batty, Chundo, and the rest of the pack, including human boy Atlas. I was afraid the puppies calendars were going to be too cute, but they are not. Just sweet and absurd and beautifully strange.

Wegman Puppies - a little disturbing.......2005-10-11

Every year I buy my dad the Wegman puppies calender, and I bought this to go with it, thinking it would have some loveley photos in it, which it does. However it has some very disturbing photos in it also of situations puppies of that age should not be put into, and now I don't think I will be purchasing any more wegman products.

The Guide to Owning a Weimaraner .......2005-08-13

After purchasing our new baby weimaraner, this book proved to be extremely helpful.

A True Expert's Great Guide on Owning a Weimaraner! Read!!.......2005-03-14

If you have an Weimaraner puppy or are thinking of buying one, my suggestion is to be sure and read this very helpful guide on Weimaraner Ownership. "The Guide to Owning a Weimaraner", written by Anna Katherine Nicholas, is an absolute MUST-HAVE for anyone who, like myself, is the proud owner of a beautiful Weimaraner.

I bought this book right before I started to research getting my second Wiemaraner pup. I had made a few mistakes with my first one, especially regarding the training aspect of puppy ownership. I love both of my beautiful dogs equally, however the pup that I trained (so easily) after reading this helpful guide made training a dog enjoyable.

This book will start with the very basics and assume you know nothing. I found that to be very helpful since there is always something helpful that you can learn, even long after years of owning a dog. You'll begin with how to select the best possible puppy from a breeder or pet store. She'll discuss everything from training issues at different stages of their development to common veterinary issues associated with Weimaraner's. It's one of those few books in life that seem to have answers to all of our questions. The photograhs are wonderful as well!

I've raised several different breeds of dogs in my life. I've loved each and every dog from every breed in very special ways. HOWEVER, the joy of owning a Weimaraner, as you well know or WILL know, brings with it experiences that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

It's a great read with a fantastic index for finding specific answers to most every question you might have. Whether it's feeding, breeding, training, exercise or grooming-you'll find it all in this handy guide to owning a Weimaraner.

Happy Reading to ALL!

Good book for first owners of the weim........2003-05-04

This was a very insightful book for my very first weimaraner. It is a basic beginners book that is very easy to understand and follow in all the different aspects from diet, to health, to training, to play. Wonderful. It sure has helped me with mine. I have read this book many times as it is a book you can read in one sitting which makes it even better.

Dog gone entertaining.......2006-11-10

We originally found this book at the library. We wore it out in the two weeks we had it. The only problem was when the book was put together it was not in order. My kids wanted to check it out again but I was afraid they would think that was the order of the alphabet so I ordered them their own copy. The pictures are great and they will use the phrases from each letter over and over again. It's helped my three year old recognize letters everywhere. We bought a few more Wegman books because we enjoyed this one sooo much!

Great for the little one, great for Mom and Dad.......2001-07-26

This was one of my son's first favorite books. He would listen to me read it as many times as I was willing, and because of Wegman's non-cutesy approach, that was many times indeed. Although the dog-formed letters aren't as clear as text, they don't need to be - there are many other instances of the letters on each page, and hearing them is as important as seeing them. Overall, a great experience in enjoying reading for parent and child alike.

A new approach to the alphabet.......2000-01-27

This book made me wish learning the a-b-c's were this much fun back in my own childhood. The photos are amazingly original and your kids will truly enjoy coming back to their letter lessons with Wegman's adorable dogs. A very fresh approach to teaching! NOTE: check out Wegman's fairy tales featuring his prize dogs too.

Humorous for children AND adults.......1999-06-11

My 5 year old son has this book memorized. He laughs everytime he reads it. It has also been very helpful in teaching him the alphabet. It is an especially fun book for us since our pet is a Weimeraner.

As much for grown ups as for children.......1999-01-09

Funny with a different sense of humor. Characters become quickly familiar. My two-year old's favorite (and I don't even like dogs!).

Excellent Choice.......2005-10-05

I am looking to purchase a Weimaraner in the near future, and this book is by far the most informative book I have found yet. I wanted to be sure that I know as much as I can about the proper care for a Weimaraner, and this book is it. From what to do when you first get the puppy, until it becomes an old dog, this book has it. Highly reccommended for anyone looking to buy or learn more about Weimaraners.

Good basic info..........2002-01-25

As a soon-to-be puppy parent I enjoyed reading this book, it had a lot of good information about the breed, but it shouldn't be the only one you read if you plan to get a Weim. In addition to other dog books, I would strongly recommend the one called "How to Speak Dog" to anyone who plans to get a dog or already has one.

Book Review.......2000-09-15

My husband and I purcahaced this book when we were getting ready to bring home our first Wiemariner. We were looking for guidance on things to expect, how to make the dog feel at home, behaviors of most dogs, training this breed, and other general guidelines to follow. The book targeted itself to all these areas, and in addition, helped us greatly in bringing our new family member home. Riley did an excellent job at describing the breed in general and gave many pointers on supplies, training, health, and what owners need to expect. It is a great book if you are a first time owner and have a lot of questions.

This book tells you everything you nned to know about Weims'. We have owned Weims before but needed a refresher on the puppy training. I found all that was said to be very accurate. The information was complete and easy to apply.

A Good Base Knowledge.......2006-03-09

After owning Weimaraners for several years, I decided to see what was out there that was being said about them. This book is a general good base knowledge of the breed. I think that it does encapsulate the disposition of a Weimaraner. However, it appears to focus on all the hard stuff and none of the satisfaction points from owning a dog of this breed. It is a good book for someone who has already gotten a pup or dog, but if you are looking for knowledge prior to purchase, it might scare you away.

My Weimaraner Thanks Me for Reading this Great Book!.......2005-03-01

If you're reading this review and have a Weimaraner, we already have something in common-that very special bond with a very special and unique breed of dog that really stands out from the crowd.

My life changed when I got my beautiful and loving dog, Savannah. While I was waiting for her to be old enough to pick up from the breeder, I purchased "Weimaraners: Everything About Housing, Care, Nutrition, Breeding and Health Care", written by Susan Fox. I had a Weimaraner, several years ago, but she was a senior Weimer and at 9 years of age I was pretty sure I wasn't going to change too many of her habits. I took her from a shelter and we share a beautiful and exciting life together until she passed away.

I wanted to do everything right and I found all of the answers to my questions when I read this book. It really IS a "Complete Pet Owner's Manual" and I suggest that all Weimaraner parents purchase this or check it out from your local library.

It's filled with eveything from what to feed them, to how to successfully exercise them, to housing them properly, breeding and much, much more. Susan Fox deserves a great deal of credit for writing a manual that has been a sort of "Weimaraner Bible" for me. And my life with Savannah is going just fantastic. I owe a great deal of credit to the book and to Savannah.

It's a really good read for Weimaraner lovers. You'll relate to so much and there is plenty of information in there for everyone! It's organized well and the index makes sense and will direct you to the precise area you're looking for.

Happy Reading and Happy Raising of your Weimaraner. It's a great experience.

Thanks..

If you are looking to get a Weimaraner, this is a must have.
It has great information on what to expect from your dog, how to choose from the litter, Understanding your Weimaraner, Care of, and tips on house-training.
It also has great photos. Recommended !!

Extremely Informative.......2001-01-22

This book has not only information you would expect in any dog book but also provides information specific to the traits of a Weimaraner. The chapter, "Understanding Your Weimaraner," sets the tone for the rest of the book. These dogs need special people who will take the time to understand them. The chapter, "Sharing Your Life With a Weimaraner," provided numerous suggestions for harnessing the fantastic energy and love of this breed. In between, I learned a lot about Weimaraners. All in all, I would suggest this book for anyone who is interested in acquiring a Weimaraner or for anyone who already has one and wants to know more about the breed.

Book Description

The famed "gray ghost" of the dog world, the Weimaraner is a robust, proud hunting dog of German origin. As a family dog, the Weimaraner is protective and affectionate; as a sporting dog, he is multi-talented and highly trainable; and as a show dog, he is aristocratic and eye-catching. The "gray ghost" has fascinated dog lovers for centuries and continues to be a distinctive companion animal, revered for both his friendly disposition and his natural aptitude as a watchdog. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Weimaraners and their ancestry, character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training and preventative health care. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.

In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text written by an experienced breeder and fancier, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Weim from puppyhood to the senior years.

Product Description

How did we evolve? Did we have help? In a world torn apart by cataclysmic climate changes, survivors learn answers to these immortal questions as they join together based on their love of various dog breeds. Two voices, the weimaraner Haint and his mistress Amanda, tell the story of how each in their own way come to the realization of what they mean to each other. Along the way, Haint explains how his species came to help humans along in their evolutionary development. Haint also reveals that the world is becoming inhabitable for humans and dogs so he and his kind must make the decision whether to save themselves and what they have learned over the thousands of years on Earth or stay and take their chances with the doomed humans. Amanda, accompanied by her friends Kern and Liddy and their canine familiars Haint and Cloudy, travel across a landscape with violent weather and competing tribes as they look for a way to save their "breed" from drought. During the trip they take on an enigmatic young girl who is much more than she appears. Haint is the story of lives entangled over thousands of years and hundreds of lifetimes as dogs and humans discover the depths of their love for each other.

Beautiful.......2006-04-12

I have to admit, I'm not a dog lover. I feel more attached to cats, so I don't know where I would fit in Ward's world where dogs have become the ultimate companions (as some would say they already are).

However, I still found this a wonderful and deeply moving book. As the mysterious "they" always say, a dog is a man's best friend and this book takes that cliche and turns it into something much deeper.

I recommend this book to anyone.

It really explains a lot..........2005-10-27

As a person who has two Weimaraners I am a bit biased, but I thought that this book answered a lot of questions about these "grey ghosts" and their haunting expressions. The story was engaging and believable (and very scary). Told from two viewpoints, one a human and one a Weimaraner named Haint, the story came together beautifully. I only wish that there had been time to get to know the characters more fully, it left me wanting more.

Literary Risk Paid Off.......2005-08-13

Even for dog lovers, the idea of a book written from the POV of a dog is a risky concept. In the hands of a less accomplished writer it could have been flat out sappy. But Haint is flat out wonderful. The story takes place in the future when global warming and warfare have taken their toll on the human race and the relatively small number of human beings who have survived have reorganized themselves around the breeds of their companions, their dogs. OK so far so good, pretty interesting stuff and believable, given current realities. But the most fascinating portions of the book (to me anyway) were the portions told in the voice of a very wise old soul, Haint, a weimeraner. How the dogs directed their own evolution to appeal to the human beings they chose to be their companions and watched the human beings themselves evolve is fascinating and also believable. The author is clearly scientifically knowlegeable as all good writers of science fiction should be. The reader does not so much suspend disbelief as get drawn into some truly fascinating speculation about possibilities that have not actually been ruled out. I am recommending this book to everyone I know who is interested in animals, in the environment, in spirituality and in science (as well as science fiction). One expects a book about dogs and humans to appeal on an emotional level but Haint appeals as well on intellectual and philosophical levels. On a scale of one to five I would like to give this one a six.

Unique and different.......2005-08-11

Unique and different concept, portraying men & women as attempting to achieve the heights reached by our faithful companions.

I found the writing & story interesting at times, but I found the same few ideas & thoughts repeated so often it was distracting.

The bitter sweet ending was to be expected. Love between man & dog are the highest of priorities.

I would guess the author worships the Weimaraner breed.

Admit it, you've seen it, too ..........2005-06-22

Any one who has ever loved a dog has seen it. You know, that look. That look that makes you wonder for a moment who is in charge here. and who really is the one who knows the truth. You know, the deeper truth of life. Admit it, we have all felt it.

Sometimes we feel guilty because we are so inadequate to measure up to their love. But there is more. Something else just beyond our grasp, that bothers us a little bit, because we feel they might know something they are not letting on.

Joy Ward's Haint exposes these head-cocked wonderings. Our hunches were correct.

We also know instinctively that dogs make us more human. We don't know how true that is. Haint tells the story of a transforming love that gave form to hope for humanity.

In the words of Haint, a Weimaraner,

"Our essence changed their matter. Every time a human petted us or sat with us or let us sleep on their bed, we were changing them. We exchanged our cells for theirs. It was slow, achingly slow sometimes as we watched them wage wars against each other, but we persisted. But over the centuries, humans evolved and became more like us.

They learned to love more deeply and they learned how to trust one another. They learned that to achieve anything of size or depth takes sharing and working together. We gave them that. We brought our older, more evolved natures into contact with their newer ones, and they learned and grew." - Haint p. 92"

Two voices alternate to tell this tale. One, a human with extrasensory gifts, and the other, an ancient extraterrestrial spirit now choosing the form of a dog. Together these two voices show the intertwined fates of two species at the edge of disaster. The earth is dying because of the foolish hubris of man, despite all the efforts of his best friend. Weather has become wild and inhospitable to the species that has abused his environment. The end of the world is imminent. Hot winds tear the air, spawning tornados that destroy buildings as the melting poles raise the sea level. The wells of fresh water are drying up, and skin cancer and other diseases are epidemic.

As the human civilization crumbles, man and dog revert to their earlier symbiosis. New tribal groups emerge called Breeds because they are centered on distinct breeds of dog that each specialize in a distinct skill with their partner humans. Territories ruled by Weimaraners, Airedales, Danes and such hold civilization from the brink of anarchy.

This is not like "Animal Farm," it feels believable, maybe even likely. Suspension of disbelief is not as difficult as one might imagine, in fact, the reader feels drawn in naturally to this world. It explains a lot.

In this crisis time the best and worst of both species appears and becomes prominent, as it does in any time of crisis. It is a question of survival. It is a question of survival for both species bound together inextricably. Maybe the ancient Latin warning, "cave canem" was merely misunderstood. We should listen to their warnings when they ...speak.

An 'Essential' insight into the world of the weimaraner,As a weimaraner owner/breeder/exhibitor I still refer to this book on a regular basis.Handy hints and tips about how your dog thinks and acts from a person who trully understands this most rewarding and demanding breed.OK so it doesn't tell you what to do every step of the way or hold your hand throughout your dog's life, but if that's what you want maybe the Weimaraner isn't for you. I find this book informative and helpful in a number of areas,Even as an 'Experienced'Weimaraner owner. So it is a must read for those serious about owning and rearing a happy healthy pet.Recommended reading for all our new puppy owners.

Disappointing - Aimed at Breeders.......2000-10-12

I am thinking of taking on a weimaraner for the first time. I live in the UK and am planning on an older dog, one needing to be rehomed. I ordered this book thinking it would be full of useful facts for a 'novice' such as myself. However, it was smaller in size than I had expected, and was not easy to read due to design. Content was made up mostly of history (deep stuff most people would not need to know), and lists of breeders/bloodlines. Useful to potential breeders but disappointing for myself. Especially since I had waited so long to receive it. Would get my money back if that were possible. £20 sterling is a lot for such a book.

Only get if into history lessons and breeding!!.......2000-09-09

Going by the reviews for this book on this site I thought this was a must have book as I am considering getting a Weimaraner puppy. This book is not for someone like me. I am looking for info that a pet owner who spayeds and neuters all their pets would need. This book does not fill that bill. It covers history of the breed, standards and so on... Only two chapters could I use and due to the fact the Author is British and so uses British terms which I found some what confusing. If you plan to get a Weimaraner for a pet and don't wish to add to the population by breeding, don't plan to show for conformation, or want a history lesson close to Biblical terms, then get a book I found very useful and very informativ. A New Owners Guide To Weimaraners by Judythe Coffman, it's easier to read, very informative esp. the diet and I will keep it handy for my puppy.I really hate the fact I spent over $20 for this book and can't use it, good things about on-line buying is savings, bad thing is sending back and hoping you get your money.

an essential read BEFORE you get a weim.......2000-06-28

Weimaraners are not the right dog for everyone. This book does a good job of honestly portraying the personality of the typical Weim. If you read this book before choosing a dog, it will either confirm that a Weimaraner is the addition to your family that you have been looking for, or get you to reconsider. If you have chosen a Weimaraner, it gives great insights that make training much easier and a more natural process.

Happy owner of a Weimaraner!.......2000-04-14

We are the happy owner of a one and a half year old weimaraner that my son received for his 4th birthday. We had been looking for a book that covered everything one needed to know to raise a weimaraner. This one definetly has plenty of helpful information. It covers development, purchasing, care, breed standards, showing, hunting and working, breeding and whelping, and common diseases and health care. We are now looking forward to puppies in seven weeks. This book gave me information to select a mate and breed my dog. I loved it!

We just brought home a weimaraner puppy. This book is good for basics but did not go into specifics in regards to the breed. For example, the training section of the book was very simple, basic instruction. No specifics in that portion, nor did I feel that other sections had too much detail. On the plus side, the section on the breed's history was very informative. Good pictures.

This was excellent for us, it covers the dogs origin, characteristics, feeding & bathing, housebraking & training, health care, dental care, traveling, behavior, plus what to look for in a show dog and sports companion. I really learned a lot with this book. The only thing it does not cover is breeding her (it does cover what to look for in a good breeder).
