The Weimaraner, Germany’s sleek and swift “Gray Ghost,” is beloved by hunters and pet owners alike for their friendliness, obedience, and beauty. They enjoy exercise, and plenty of it, along with lots of quality time with their humans. They present as a medium-sized gray dog, with fine aristocratic features. They should present a picture of grace, speed, stamina, alertness and balance. Above all, the dog’s conformation must indicate the ability to work with great speed and endurance in the field.

Choosing a Weimaraner should not be taken lightly as they require lots of exercise and attention.  They should not be left alone or crated for long spans. If left alone or not exercised adequately, a Weimaraner will develop destructive habits and anxiety. They love to be included as part of the family.  They are extremely loyal and intelligent companions.
