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. Instantly recognized by a distinctive silvery-gray coat. A properly bred Weimaraner will be solid colored, with maybe a small white spot on the chest. The face, with its blue eyes when born will very likely turn amber or blue-gray eyes framed by long velvety ears. They turn heads, they are graceful, muscular, medium sized dogs. They were born to run! They have a very keen sense of smell..but the most appealing thing about them is their coat. Short, sleek, silvery gray most times… makes for easy grooming! Which is always a big plus! They are very sociable. They make wonderful family pets because of their love for people! Weimaraners are excellent with kids and yearn to be full-fledged family members. Overall very family-friendly nature. How enthusiastic about play a Weim is likely to be, even past the age of puppyhood. Some Weims will continue wanting to play tug-of-war or fetch well into their adult years, while others will be happy to just relax on the couch with you most of the time. As one longtime breeder says, 'The good news is that Weimaraner are smart; the bad news is that Weimaraners are smart.' We recommend training class and be consistent with your training methods, at a young age! Early socialization and puppy training are vital and help to ensure that the Weimaraner grows into a well-adjusted, well-mannered loyal companion.
