So you want a Weimaraner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t blame you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weims are such beautiful, elegant looking dogs that stand out wherever they go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they\u2019re not for everyone as there\u2019s much more to this large breed than meets the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in this blog post, we\u2019ll introduce you to the good, the bad & the ugly of Weimaraners so you can decide whether or not they\u2019d make the right pet for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because although they\u2019re a large breed, they have a life expectancy of 10-14 years you should plan for. <\/p>\n\n\n

10 Facts Good & Bad About Weimaraners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Weimaraners Originally Hail From Germany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re familiar with Germany, you may have heard of the town of Weimar in eastern Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where Weimaraners are from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were originally bred as hunting dogs for German aristocracy in the early 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, they were used to hunt large game like wild hogs, bears and deer, and later on they helped hunt foxes and birds like quail, pheasants and ducks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, they were used as guard dogs of the noble premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Weimaraners Are Diluted Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While Weimaraners officially come in the three main colors gray, silver and blue, they carry a gene that\u2019s responsible for their washed out coat color look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping that in mind, Gray and Silver Weimaraners are actually different shades of a diluted chocolate and Blue Weimaraners are a diluted black!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. They\u2019re Also Known As \u201cGray Ghosts\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s this washed out look that contributed to their nickname \u201cGray Ghost\u201d.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their gray or amber eyes and stealthy hunting mode when they stand still and point complete the ghastly picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, pointing is when the dog lifts a paw to signal the presence of prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the dog stares ahead in the direction of where the prey is located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the picture below, Weim Sydney points her yard prey, one of her Chuckit toys<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n

4. They\u2019re Classified As Sporting Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In AKC (American Kennel Club) classification terms, Weimaraners are Pointers who are part of the Sporting Group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It consists of the 4 following types of breeds that enjoy hunting and similar field activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Spaniels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Pointers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Retrievers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Setters <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These dogs all spot, flush and retrieve game including waterfowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Weims Need to Run<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As sporting dogs, Weimaraners have tons of energy<\/a> they need to burn on a daily basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just so you get an idea of what they\u2019re capable of speed-wise, they can do up to 50 kmh in pursuit of their prey! That\u2019s 32 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So yeah, these pups definitely need more than a 30 minute walk around the block and, most importantly, they really need to run and stretch their legs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ve seen first hand what an under-exercised Weimaraner is capable of, and have spent lots of time cleaning up shredded dog beds, magazines and toilet paper\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Weim
    Weim Sydney found a way of entertaining herself<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    That was back when I worked as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and had clients who didn\u2019t always understand the physical needs of their dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So think twice before you decide to bring this high energy breed home to live with you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That said, you can do right by your Weimaraner even if you don\u2019t have a large yard where they can stretch their legs in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An alternative would be a dog park or a doggie daycare place if they get along with other dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also take them to large open fields on an extra long leash<\/a> like a 30\u2019 check cord<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But as always, there\u2019s an exception to the rule, and this one applies to Weimaraner puppies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They shouldn\u2019t run hard until they\u2019re about 12 months old to prevent damage to their growing joints, so they\u2019ll need a lot of leashed and controlled activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. They\u2019re (Mostly) Easy to Groom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While their exercise needs are high, their grooming needs are low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s because most Weimaraners have a short coat that\u2019s easy to wash, dry and brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019ll appreciate this info when your Weim starts rolling around in stinky stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t blame him for it, it\u2019s in his hunting dog genes to disguise his smell! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just make sure you have a nice smelling dog shampoo like this Lavender and Mint from Buddy Wash<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, there\u2019s also a few Weimaraners that are long-haired AND have an undercoat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They\u2019re less common in the US because they\u2019re not acceptable show dog material in the States, but you\u2019ll see them regularly in other parts of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, in their home country Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Long-haired Weimaraners obviously have more intense grooming needs than their short-haired siblings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7. Weimaraners Need Supervision Around Other Pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While Weims are good with kids<\/a>, they don\u2019t love all other dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s why it\u2019s super important to properly socialize Weimaraners to as many dogs as possible when they\u2019re in their impressionable puppy phase (2-4 months)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of my pet sitting clients had a Weimaraner and a Mutt puppy who dearly loved one another and even shared a crate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That said, Weims CAN coexist with other dogs, but they need to be introduced to the concept early on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to their strong prey drive, they typically don\u2019t do well with cats, ferrets and birds in the same home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8. Weimaraners Are Prone to Bloat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Just like Boxers, Rottweilers, German Shorthaired Pointers, St. Bernards and Great Danes, Weimaraners are deep-chested dogs who are prone to bloating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This condition is also known as GDV (Gastric Dilatation Volvulus) and can be fatal even when it\u2019s treated right away, so don\u2019t take it lightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bloating happens when the stomach traps air, turns on itself and then closes off the esophagus and cuts off the blood flow to vital organs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Symptoms are pacing, retching and an enlarged belly that looks like a drum. So when you notice these, take your pup to an (emergency) vet right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Causes of bloat can be large (dry) meals fed from elevated dog feeders, drinking large amounts of water as well as exercise right after eating and drinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s why it\u2019s important NOT to exercise your Weimaraner for at least an hour after their food and water intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When in doubt, waiting 2 hours is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    9. A Tired Weimaraner Wants To Sleep Next to You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Of course a tired Weimaraner is a good Weimaraner, but Weims also love to snuggle up next to you at the end of a long day as they sleep their adventures off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Weimaraner Bean, one of my former pet sitting clients, loved snuggling up next to my feet UNDER the sheets whenever I had an overnight stay with him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I remember having to uncover him partially a few hours into the night to make sure he could breathe properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Silly pup!<\/p>\n\n\n

    10. Weimaraners Rank 41st in Popularity in the US<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    These days, Weimaraners are nowhere near the top 10 dog breeds in the US. Maybe it\u2019s because of their high exercise needs? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This was different in the 1950s when female Weimaraner Heidi became known as First Dog<\/a> under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a letter to Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield who gifted Heidi to Eisenhower, the President wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cHeidi is definitely an asset to life in the White House.<\/strong> She cavorts on the South Lawn at a great rate, with such important projects as chasing squirrels and investigating what might be under bushes. She is beautiful and well-behaved (occasionally she tends toward stubbornness but is then immediately apologetic about it). And she is extremely affectionate and seemingly happy. I am constantly indebted to you [and your son Bud] both for giving her to me.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    (Letter from President Eisenhower to Arthur Summerfield, January 27, 1958<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eisenhower Papers as President, Administration Series, Box 36, Summerfield, Arthur Jr.)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That said, Heidi ended up moving from the White House to the President\u2019s farm in Pennsylvania after she peed on an expensive rug and enjoyed jumping on White House photographers a little too much\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    So, you (still) want a Weimaraner? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your main motivation is to own a Weimaraner as a status symbol, please rethink your decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Weims are highly active dogs with a very strong prey drive who need several hours of physical daily exercise as well as mental stimulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Left to their own devices, they\u2019ll come up with strategies to burn their pent up energy, and I guarantee you won\u2019t like any of them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the flipside, if you\u2019re an active outdoorsman or -woman, a Weimaraner can easily be your new best adventure buddy for many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Weimaraner Club of America (WCA) offers a breeder referral for Weimaraner puppies<\/a> you may want to check out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On that note, don\u2019t be put off if Weimaraner breeders screen your home and lifestyle – they just want to make sure that they place their high energy puppies with the right forever humans! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now, we\u2019d love to hear from you if you share your active lifestyle with a Weimaraner (or two or three) or if you\u2019re contemplating getting a Weim to help you train for marathons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
