The Weimaraner is a medium size member of the
sporting group. Weimaraner was
originally bred in Germany to assist in bird hunting. Weimar is the name of the
city where the first of the breed were created. The Duke of Weimar bred several
pointers with a bloodhound. Since the
Duke kept no records the exact paper trail is unclear. It may be a cross between an English Pointer yellow
pointer and a Bloodhound.
As a sporting dog this breed is exceptional. It is fast and retrieves birds from the most extreme
terrain imaginable
Weimaraners are often referred to as the “Gray
Ghost” due to their Silver-Grey color. This
is a very people friendly dog that gets very attached to their owner and
family. An Owner must be prepared to spend a lot of
time with the dog. They get along well with teenagers. The breed’s energy, size and speed can be over
physical with children. This is a high energy dog. It is not suitable for apartment living. This breed needs a lot of room to exercise and
should frequently be taken on very long walks.
Weimaraner’s are a maximum of 27 inches and
can weigh up to 80 pounds.
