all of a sudden my weim elle has started to really bite me hard with her back teeth and she drew blood told her no and she did it again why she doing this
What could have changed? Have hormones kicked in? Could she be in pain? Have her circumstances or relationships changed. IMHO dogs rarely bit for no reason at all. So tell us more...

How old is she? How come bits of you were so far in her mouth she could 'get' you with her back teeth?
WE need much more information i am afraid.

What context did this happen in ellex? Were you at home? Were you playing with her? Had you asked her to get off the sofa or your bed? Was she mouthing you anyway and just bit hard with her back teeth?

she lunged at my hand and i thought she was playing but she wasnt shes nearly 11 months now i was just walking past her in the hallway worried cause of the kids
My dog did this with his back teeth aswell the same and we found out he had a rash on his belly that was causing him pain, I think it was frustration but im only guessing. He also made a funny noise though, it wasnt a growl more of a moan. We have treated his belly and he hasnt done it since. Just something to think about.

Ellex - you say you've owned Weims for 15 years - did you breed her yourself? Or did you buy her in? What does her breeder say about her behaviour - you do seem to be having a lot of problems for an experienced owner - poor you! :(
I would be looking at checking out the rest of the litter with the breeder, to see if there are problems with any of the others, and bringing in a behavourist - she is obvioulsy worrying you a lot!

I agree with your post 100% Margot.

At 11 months she may be experiencing some pain from her adult teeth settling in the jaw - is she chewing more than normal as well?
I agree with Margot. You make it sound on the one hand like you know a lot about the breed, yet on the other hand you keep posting about your Weim on here and having different problems with her. You also don't seem to take on board anything which anyone says...
There are many explanations for what happened. Perhaps she was playing, but she doesn't have good bite inhibition because you didn't help her to develop it when she was a pup. Perhaps she was guarding something she had found, or a location. Perhaps there was something about the way you moved or something you were carrying which seemed threatening to her, because she was badly socialised. Perhaps her parents had a poor temperament and its genetic. Perhaps it was something which is physically wrong with her and causing her pain and this is how she reacts to that.
If you really want to solve it, you need someone to watch you with the dog and tell you what is happening. You should go to your vet and get a referral to an APBC accredited behaviourist. They only work on vet referrals, but you need to go to the vet first so that vet can rule out anything physically wrong with her.
