Boweimar

amazing cool nice

We’ve had BamBam since he was 8 weeks. He’s almost 7 now and is literally the family dog. From my wife’s mother to my mother. Her nieces nephews and siblings and even old neighbors love to be around him. Every family phone call we get, “how’s Bam?” Is always a topic of discussion. He’s even made family members who were previously afraid of all dogs fall in love with him. He’s calm down some in his age but still always ready to play. Every morning we spend at least an hour at the park with his frisbee. He’s very protective of my wife and all the kids in her extended family.

Very energetic, friendly,sometimes reactive.Intelligent , need challenges.

Stole my heart the day he came home

he is very possesive and if i leave him will do anything to be with me, his worst habbit is stealing my prized possesions, mobile phone etc, and food if im not there will dissapear and he hides the wrappers under his dog bed. very intelligent and knows if im having a bad day will bring a toy for play to cheer me up and act the fool, very clumsy treads on your feet and knocks people over not intentionally hes a big dog and acts the fool, good watch dog.

He is very energetic, affectionate, and very protective of hiss G-dad who has had some health challenges as of late. When his therapists come to the home he will attempt to block them. I have to give him a strict command to sit on the coach and he intensely watches like a hawk and let's a low grumble showing his disapproval. He's a little slickster. If I turn my attention away for too long he will begin to creep closer and close. Besides protecting his grandfather, he is the most compassionate and loving creature I have ever encountered. Great with kids and has a bubbly personality all fall in love with when they encounter him.

My boweimar Beaker was on the larger size, 110lbs and very tall. He was all black with a single white star on his big chest. Beaker was a pound puppy, adopted in May 2008, he was initially believed to be a lab/beagle mix, but quickly grow well beyond average sizes for both labs and beagle. We did an at home DNA test which confirmed the Boxer/Weimaraner mix. When he was a pup, I had a hard time finding information about this mix, but recently I am finding much more and here to share my experience. Beaker passed away 2 weeks ago (Dec. 2019) due to hemangiosarcoma, he had been living with cancer since 2015 when we found a dermal lesion on his left ear which was removed to help slow metastasis. Beyond his cancer, he was a perfectly healthy dog when he wasn't clumsy or putting something in his mouth. Our vet trips were limited to simple routine check ups or emergency surgeries due to injury or his cancer. Beaker had the sweetest temperament and loved his family very intensely. Beaker and I instantly pair bonded and were inseparable for his whole life. He was so attached to me and his other humans that he suffered separation anxiety and was destructive when he was young. His separation anxiety was managed with training, medication and his dog brother (a black lab named Watson) and dog sister (Risa). Beaker was extremely smart and eager to please which made training very easy. He graduated top of his class in all his obedience training, we even auditioned for agility competitions but he was barred in our region due to not being a pure-bred dog. Beaker was high energy when he was a pup through about age 9, we spent many days of the week out hiking or running on the beach or dog park. He slowed down with age but we still made long walks our morning routine until the day he died. He was a great dog around my young nephews and let them climb all over him. The cancer that took my sweet boy was stealthy, even with routine monitoring with our vet (blood work, biopsy, ultrasound and x-ray) after his first cancer scare, we did not know we would loose him so soon. He showed no symptoms of his illness and his loss was very sudden. The cancer grows very slowly and shows no symptoms and causes no pain (indolent) until the tumor ruptures and is too late. His last check up was May 2019 (was given clean bill of health) and he passed in Dec 2019. We had no idea he was sick or going to pass until about 12hrs before having to put him to sleep due to severe hemorrhaging in abdomen. I have had a lot of dogs in my life, but Beaker was by far the most loving, caring eager and sweetest pup. He had a great memory and would be so excited to see my extended family when they visited from out of town but cautious of new people. For some strange reason, a handshake between me and a stranger was enough to calm Beaker, once he knew I was not in danger, he became your best friend. I miss my boy terribly, he was constantly by my side, very intuitive and very caring. When my wife would start to cry during a movie, he would instantly come lay on her and lick her tears away. If he saw how sad we are now, he would be doing the same thing now. After finding more information about this designer breed, it sounds like many of the traits Beaker had are shared and common. If you are looking for a family dog that does not shed much, is incredibly loving, easy to train and willing to make accommodations to their high energy and separation anxiety, I would strongly recommend looking into this new breed.
