how can i stop my weimaraners puppies fighting over the same toyand should i let them sort their own leader of the pack out and not interfere

Are we talking about a litter of babies (you being the breeder)? or two puppies of same age that you have bought & therefore over 8 weeks & to live together for life?

no they are all from different litters and age two at six months one at seven months and will not share or play with the toys they seem to challenging each other

no the pups are all from different litters and will not share at all they seem to be challenging all the time

Welcome to the forum Susan :-) Leigh

What made you want to have 3 pups all at once! Seriously, cometiton, or sibling rivalry is normal, and would be kept in bounds by the mother, and other senior pack members, so thats you! You will need to ensure that you can take toys away, and distract the pups when they get too rough. I feel having 3 is not a good thing, as it may mean two ganging up on one.

You should also take each one on its own for training, as being together like this will mean they will bond more strongly with each other than you. Training will also establish you in the Alpha position, and they will respond to you telling them to cut it out. If they won;t shre, take the item away, then offer it back only so long as peace remains, if not away again. You really must be boss if you want to avoid serious conflict between them. In the wild the alph animals would break up any bickering by asserting their authority.

Gosh, 3 weimaraners, different litters-where did you get them from? Did you actually let each breeder know you were doing this? Are they all the same sex? You really MUST establish your leadership now, or you are really in for trouble as they become older. By now they should be respecting you absolutly, if not you are going to have some FIGHTS! I would strongly suggest you enlist the help of a breed expert, if you don't feel any of the breeders can give you this help, then contact a rescue advisor, they have more experience of dealing with the problem end of Weimaraners. And i would strongly suggest you do this now! This is a wonderful breed, that can be difficult in knowledgable hands on a one to one basis, never mind 3 at once! I say all this for the sake of the dogs, not to slag you off, and if you love the dogs then please do it.

Hi Susan, I have been following your questions on your weimaraner pups. The advice you have been given so far is good advice. I agree that you must get help. The weimaraner is not a breed that is an easy pet. I have gone thru having 2 pups together... but I bred them and kept them as there were only 2 in the litter. I had 30 yrs experience of dogs and 8 yrs experience of weims and I found it hard. If you need to speak to anyone please feel free to ring me or e mail me and I will help you if I can or I will be able to put you in touch with someone who is nearer to you who might be able to help. my e mail addy is kidmal.weimaraners@ntlworld.com

Best regards
