About 4 months after having Shammy, we knew we could never be a one Weim home. With the help of some dog friends we had made, we started the search for our next family member. This time we would research and use the knowledge we had so recently gained. When we found out that Polo and Cadey were having a repeat litter, we called Chris Grisell (Nani's) to see if she would let us have a boy. We eagerly awaited the arrival, hoping that there would be boys. There were 5 of them!Am/Can Ch. Nani's Water Off A Duck's Back

NRD, CGC
Sept 2, 1995 - August 6, 2004
This time we flew to Indiana, met Chris and Ted in person
for the first time, and picked up Drake. Being fairly novice still, this
was a tough job. The boys were all so nice! Crossing our fingers,
we made our pick and flew out with our new grey baby.
Drake grew up to be the comedian of the family.
He made an art of getting
what he wants by playing dumb. He was by far our best water retriever
and an all around great companion to both his Humans and his Dog family.
Drake also had an opportunity to really put his acting skills to use.
He had loads of fun playing all roles in a television commercial for the
local Octoberfest Celebration. His mottos was "anything for a cookie"! Below are a few pics of his acting Debut. (Photos

Drake finished his American and Canadian Championships
before the age of 2. He went on to obtain his Novice Retrieving
Dog (WCA) and Canine Good Citizen (AKC).
Drake leaves behind a legacy in his Children,
Grandchildren and Great-grandchildren. Click below to view a few of Drake's Children
and see their accomplishments.
