The Weimaraner

A medium-sized gray-blue dog, with fine aristocratic features. He should present a picture of grace, speed, stamina, alertness and balance. The dog's conformation must indicate the ability to work with great speed and endurance in the field.

The Weimaraner should be friendly, fearless, alert and obedient, bold and loyal, but he is also headstrong, giving the dog a loving attitude with a willingness to take the upper paw in the family if the opportunity presents itself.

Like most large hunting breeds, the Weimaraner needs lots of exercise and must be kept in a fenced yard to prevent him from ranging in search of game. Because he was developed as a hunting dog and still maintains those instincts, he may be dangerous to birds and small mammals. Unlike many hunting breeds, however, the Weimaraner is a house dog and does poorly when confined to a kennel.
