    I never realised just how unhappy Nooch was being part of a doggie “pack”.  When I had the 3 dogs he never wagged his tail – he has always been a serious dog – not much of a sense of humour  :-\ but since I have had him to myself and without the girls he is such a happy pooch. 

    He never interacted with the girls much – a bit when BB was a pupster but not really when she became she devil dog  >:D  they would work well as a team together (especially when stealing food was involved) but he never wanted to sit with her and moved when she came near.  He would sleep on own or near me rather than be with her.  😉  He is quite unsociable at the best of times.

    So it got me thinking are there certain breeds or just certain dogs that are happier on their own rather than as a “pack animal” does nooch see me as the pack and doggies as annoyance  ???

    BB and Elsa formed a coven  >:D

    BB loves everyone – Elsa once her confidence was back was the same  ;D  Both very vocal – Nacho big silent serious man  🙂  Tremendously loyal and intuiative – but if he was a human he would wear a flat cap and slippers and smoke a pipe  ;D

    Weims are not only different from other HPRs but they are also different in that they are generally not that interested in other dogs IME; they are not like Labs etc who love being part of a crowd; Weims are much more into their owners.

    I used a rarely used Rough Collie at stud who had that temperament some years ago.  He’d rather have gone to bed with a hot chocolate!  😉 ;D

    I don’t have much experience with Weims but the ones I have met seem less than playful with other dogs and very much into their owners or just doing their own thing

    “but if he was a human he would wear a flat cap and slippers and smoke a pipe  ”  ;D :-*

    Buster would be happy on his own with no doggy pack. He tolerates Honey and is happy to be bossed about, but he dont give two figs when shes not there.

    Honey on the other hand needs doggy company – she misses him terribly when we not at home and I think if he was more that way shed love to snuggle up with him etc – but he not like that.
