Weimaraner Characteristics
The Weimaraner is an obedient, attentive, friendly and brave breed. They are very intelligent and are motivated when a reward awaits them, although they can also be stubborn and capricious. They are happy and a little unruly dog. They are also very affectionate and need to feel like one more in their human family.
This breed was originally bred as hunting dogs for large animals such as wolves, bears or deer. They were known as “the silver ghost” and were a highly desired breed in their native Germany. Today, Weimaraner’s are independent and love to test their owners’ limits. Protective by nature, they are reserved with strangers and can be somewhat combative with other dogs. Training when they are puppies is very necessary for those who want a true family dog.
This breed is a high-energy, very trainable dog that enjoys both physical and mental challenges.
