Weimaraner Dog Breed Information

The Weimaraner is considered a “country dog.” They need plenty of room to run and play, therefore, a well-fenced yard is a must! This is not a dog that does well in confined spaces so an apartment dog he is not! If you are an out-door type who enjoys long walks and hiking, the Weimaraner might just be the dog for you!

The Weimaraner is a medium to large, lean, muscular dog. They are 25 to 27 inches in height and weigh approximately 55 to 85 pounds. They usually live 10 to 13 years. The Weimaraner’s original purpose was hunting, pointing, and retrieving game.

The Weimaraner has an easy-care coat which is usually silver/gray in color. They are intelligent, energetic and fun-loving. This dog requires an active, experienced owner as they are very strong-willed, protective and powerful. The Weimaraner can be a challenging breed but they can be trained to a very high standard by an owner who is patient, firm and consistent. If socialized early, the Weimaraner is generally good with other dogs, however, they tend to dominate and will not back down quickly if challenged.
