Common Name(s)
Weimaraner, Gray Ghost, Weim
Breed Type
Weimaraners are a sporting breed. Used to hunt a variety of game, they were favorites of royalty in the nineteenth century.
Background
The Weimaraner has been around for centuries. There is much debate about its ancestry, but the breed is believed to have originated in Europe. Breed standards were developed in the 1800s.
There is a rare long-haired variety of the Weimaraner, but it is not recognized by North American kennel clubs. Popular hybrids include the Weimardoodle (Weimaraner and Poodle mix) and the Labmaraner (Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix).
Description
The Short-Haired Weimaraner is a slender yet muscular dog with a sleek, fine gray coat. The head and ears are slightly lighter in color. The ears are long, and they eyes are gray, bluish-gray, or amber. The breed has webbed feet and a docked tail. Males are 24-27 inches in height and weigh 55-70 pounds. Females are 22-25 inches tall and weigh 50-65 pounds.
Care and Feeding
Weimaraners need a diet high in animal fat. The diet should include poultry, lamb, potato, and grains. This breed is very prone to bloat, so it is advisable to feed two or three small meals each day.
The Weimaraner’s coat requires little care. Regular brushing and occasional dry shampooing are all that is necessary. It is important to keep an eye on the dog’s feet and mouth, and to keep its nails trimmed. It is standard procedure to dock the short-haired Weimaraner’s tail to 1 ½ inches at two days of age. Dewclaws are also removed during puppyhood.
Weimaraners need yearly checkups to stay healthy. Vaccinations are due on the following schedule:
•6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
•10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
•14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
•Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
Weimaraners shed moderately, so regular vacuuming is a must if they are to be kept inside.
Housing Your Dog
Weimaraners can live indoors in small spaces, but only if they get plenty of exercise. They do best with a large yard.
Social Behaviors
Weimaraners are affectionate with their families. They tolerate children fairly well, but may be too rambunctious for small children. They may be aggressive with other dogs, and should not be trusted with small pets.
Handling and Training
This breed should be trained with a firm but gentle hand. They are very sensitive to any form of physical punishment and are nearly impossible to train if they are afraid of their trainers. Weimaraners may be slow to housebreak.
