Weimaraners
The
Weimaraner is an excellent gundog. These well-defined, well-muscled,
medium to large-sized dogs, posses a natural athletic hunting talent.
They are bred to have speed and quickness when pointing, flushing or retrieving.
The Weimaraners' high endurance level and loyalty enables them to function
well as a great pointing and
retrieving dog. These dogs will work hard and long for their owners,
because they are so willing to please. The distinguishing characteristics
that make a Weimaraner different than other bird dog breeds is its short,
sleek, soft, and shiny silver or blue coat. This makes them
a very beautiful dog! The Weimaraners' temperament and loyalty
make them exceptional house dogs, and great watch dogs. The biggest difference
between the Weimaraner and most other versatile gundogs is that Weimaraners
cannot be kept in the backyard kennel between hunting seasons. They
require human companionship because hunting is only one facet of their total
partnership with people. Most Weimaraners hunt because it is absolutely
the best activity they can share with the people they love.
Weimaraners
are very loyal, enthusiastic, hard working, bird dogs. Most require
large amounts of attention, exercise, and training. Their speed and
agility will be demonstrated when playing or training in a field or large
yard. Most need increased amounts of exercise to keep from becoming
out-of-shape and obese.
The
Weimaraner's intelligence allows them to excel in obedience and respond well
to training. Daily training techniques in pointing, flushing and retrieving
are second nature to these dogs. They are easily trained because they
are so willing to please their owner. They love to work hard for you,
and play hard with you.
The
male dog usually measure approximately 25 to 27 inches in height at the shoulder.
They weigh between 75 and 90 pounds. The female measures slightly less
at 23 to 25 inches and weighs up to 80 pounds. Both sexes are sturdy and well
defined, making them great gundogs.
Weimaraners
are solid colors coming in shades of mouse-grey, silver-gray, or blue-steel.
The
Weimaraners' temperament is outstanding. They are well-mannered, loyal
dogs. You will be proud of their natural instinct to be a watchdog.
You can trust these dogs around children as well. They make exceptional
housedogs, unless left to become bored. You can count on these dogs
to be a perfect addition to the family.
