The Weimaraner


The Weimaraner is a loyal, protective, and energetic breed. The origin of this breed is a little fuzzy but what we do know is that the weim was used as a retrieving and hunting dog. Today this breed is used as a family dog. Training these dogs is a little bit challenging because Weims have a short attention span and they are distracted easily. A firm trainer is needed for these breeds. Weims need a lot of exercise because they are an extremely energetic breed. A daily long walk and some off leash time are best for them. Weims are moderate shedders so grooming is an easy job. Most importantly weimaraners are very sociable and lovable dogs when they are socialized at a young age. Weims do make good family pets but they need to be watched with young children. Since they are very large they tend to knock kids over, so if you have kids with this breed watch out for that. Overall, the Weimaraner makes a great family pet for a family who can exercise him, patiently train him, and most importantly love him right.
