Weimaraner information
The Weimaraner is a
moderately large, athletic, working dog. The medium sized head
has a moderate stop with a medial line going down the forehead.
The nose is gray and the teeth meet in a scissors bite. The
somewhat wide-set eyes come in shades of light amber, gray or
blue-gray. The high-set ears are long and pendant, folded
forward hanging down along the sides of the head. The front legs
are straight with webbed, compact feet. The toenails are gray or
amber in color. The tail is customarily docked to 1 ½ inches
(4cm) when the dog is two days old. Note: docking tails is
illegal in most parts of Europe. Dewclaws are usually removed.
The topline slopes gently downward from the shoulders to the
rump. The short, smooth coat is tight to the whole body and
comes in shades of mouse-gray to silver-gray, blending with
darker shades on the body and lighter shades on the head and
ears. It also comes in a rarer longhaired variety (FCI Group 7).
All shades of gray are accepted. There is sometimes a small
white marking on the chest.
Temperament
Happy, loving, intelligent,
cheerful, and affectionate. Good with children. Without the
proper exercise they will be very rambunctious and difficult to
control. They learn quickly but will get bored if the training
is the same thing over and over again. This breed needs firm,
experienced training starting at puppyhood, with an owner who
understands how to be a dog's pack leader, or they can become
stubborn and willful. Without this proper leadership, they can
become combative with other dogs. This hunting dog has a strong
prey instinct and should not be trusted with small non-canine
animals such as hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. Socialized
well with people, places, things and other animals. Brave,
protective and loyal, makes a good guard and watchdog.
Weimaraners absolutely crave leadership. They want to know what
is expected of them and for how long. If this is not made
consistently clear in their head they will not be stable minded,
may be stressed, possibly developing separation anxiety,
becoming destructive and restless. Owners should not be harsh,
but calm with a natural air of authority to their demeanor.
These things are instinctually essential to having a happy,
behaved, balanced dog. Give your Weim plenty of extensive
exercise, or he will become very restless and over excited.
Because this breed is so full of energy, the first thing they
need to learn is sit. This will help prevent jumping, as they
are strong dogs and will knock over elderly or children by
accident. This breed especially should not be hit to discipline,
they become wary easily. Once they have a fear of
someone/something, they look to avoid and training is difficult.
They are so eager to please, and motivated by reward (food or
praise) Once a trick is learned, the dog will leap to repeat for
praise. Although they are often mistaken as dumb, because they
have such focus, if the trick or owners request isn't their
focus at the time, it will not occur! Spend a lot of time with
short leash walk, next to you. If left to run ahead they will
pull like a train and start to believe they are alpha, as pack
leader goes first. This breed likes to bark, and needs to be
corrected if it becomes excessive. Very hardy, with a good sense
of smell, and a passionate worker, the Weimaraner can be used
for all kinds of hunting.

Needs
These are powerful working
dogs with great stamina. They need to be taken for a daily, long
walk or jog. In addition, they need plenty of opportunities to
run free. Do not exercise them after meals. It is best to feed a
dog after a long walk, as soon as they cool down.
Weimaraners will do okay in an apartment if
it is sufficiently exercised. They are relatively inactive
indoors and will do best with at least a large yard. They are
not suited to outdoor kennel life.
Grooming
The smooth, short-haired coat
is easy to keep in peak condition. Brush with a firm bristle
brush, and dry shampoo occasionally. Bathe in mild soap only
when necessary. A rub over with a chamois will make the coat
gleam. Inspect the feet and mouth for damage after work or
exercise sessions. Keep the nails trimmed. This breed is an
average shedder..
Weimaraner Origins
The breed is several
centuries old and is derived from the same selective stock as
other German hunting breeds and is a descendant of the
Bloodhound. The Weimaraner is a good all-around hunting dog and
an excellent pointer. They were originally used as big game
hunters such as bear, deer and wolves, but is used more today as
a bird dog and even a water retriever. A Weimaraner appeared in
a Van Dyck painting of the early 1600's. Howard Knight, who
founded the first American Weimaraner breed club, imported the
dogs to the United States in 1929. The popular children's TV
show Sesame Street has been known to plays skits with this breed
dressed up in human clothes. The Weimaraner was first recognized
by the AKC in 1943. Some of its talents include: hunting,
tracking, retrieving, pointing, watchdog, guarding, police work,
service dogs for the disabled, search & rescue, and agility.
