Weimaraner

The Weimaraner is a beautiful, sweet, large dog. They need to be exercised regularly but are smart and can be trained to be good walkers. However they can be slightly skiddish and jumpy but are not mean. They have sweet personalities and enjoy being pet. Weimaraners do tend to have a lot of nervous energy and you have to be careful when feeding them food or water because the bread is prone to eating too fast which can cause their stomach to flip. To keep them happy they need a lot of walks and attention.

What energy! He was very hyper and moved and walked very fast. I think he could have benefitted from a 60min vs 30min walk.

Weimaraners are very sweet dogs, origianlly breed for Royalty. They are super family oriented and caring of any childern in their families. Weinmaraners attach easily when cared for, they are friendly and typically play well with other dogs They are short, smooth haired and easy to groom. Beautiful amber colored eyes. They are a larger breed, orignailly bred for hunting, so they love to sniff around and to be off the beaten path when walking.They are athletic, have webbed feet and typically thier tails are docked.

The Weimaraner that I walked was absolutely regal- beautiful golden eyes. Listened extremely well to command- especially when I made adjustments in my walking pace- this dog wanted to keep up with me. Short haired coat, very tall, and maintained constant eye contact. These dogs are good for people who want a dog that can be calm, and yet fit enough to hike for quite a bit.

The Weimaraner I walked was a sweet and gentle ball of energy. She was quite excited to walk but maintained a calm and attentive demeanor. She remained by my side the entire walk and responded well to commands. This dog had a 4 month old puppy roommate who was a constant source of playfulness that the Weimaraner was happy to put up with. This dog's ability to play with a very young puppy says a lot about the temperament and patience of this breed. Weimaraners are very smart and well mannered dogs who are easily trained. They are bigger dogs with a need for exercise daily, but make for a wonderful family dog. As long as they get proper exercise each day, they will be a happy and cuddly breed to share life with. I thoroughly enjoyed walking this Weimaraner and would recommend this breed to anyone!

Super stellar Breed. Love Love Love this dog and all it’s beauty. I would love to someday own this puppy as well. Super active athletic and big love bugs. They are a bit cooky as it’s just in their breed. Not the smartest of the breeds lol, but they make up for it with all their fun personality traits and pure characters they are as dogs. They will keep you busy, and will constantly need attention. They love the water and just getting out and breathing now in the earth around them. This is probably my second favorite breed I would love to one day own. Zero aggression in my experience with this breed. Just a happy go lucky doggy.

The Weimaraner I walked was a puppy and still being socialized and leash trained. He was shy and hesitant throughout the thirty minute walk. He was easily scared by loud noises from cars, trucks and places of business. I was stubborn and did not want to walk too far away from his home. There was a nearby dog park that he wanted to stay by, but I couldn’t take him in due to Wag’s rules concerning sociable meetings with other dogs. He seemed intent on staying by the park and trying to play with the other dogs than walking. He loved greeting other people. When he didn’t want to walk anymore he would stop and hold his ground so we couldn’t go any further. He did have lots of energy and loved to chase a ball I brought with us. It seemed he would have benefited from being able to run around and chase things rather than be walking on a leash.

This type of dog is energetic, playful, and very curious. It is marked by it’s beautiful gray coat, light colored eyes, and strong athletic build when fully grown. It may tug on your leash a bit in an effort to explore the world more, so you will certainly build some strong arm muscles walking it. It will take a great interest in other dogs, even from afar, so if you have them on a leash and spot another dog in the distance, it may be helpful to cross the street for manageability purposes. The Weimaraner I walked was full of life and liked to stop and smell every little thing - leaves, acorns, whatever might be on the ground. This breed grows very quickly, so expect to see a big change in size from week to week while they are young! It is an athletic breed so even if you aren’t a runner, you might consider throwing a little jog into your walk from time to time just to keep things interesting for the dog.

They are full of energy. No matter how much you would run/walk them, an hour later, they are full of energy again. Very active, silly, lovable. Can continue bad habits if not addressed early, like chewing and jumping. Love to pull on walks, a harness or friendly leader work well.

Benson was an incredible dog! He has lots of energy and moved fast. He definitely needed to go on runs and didn't like just walking. He worked well using a lead that allowed me to steer his nose away and a harness that had the lead clipped to the front. If the lead was clipped to the back it would give him too much power. Once on soft ground (like the beach) he'd want to run and get some energy out. He could have walked for more than an hour if allowed to do so. He had triggers like birds and squirrels, and wanted to stop to sniff everything. He was very good at sitting when instructed and laying down, but he was also very strong, so when crossing the street he had to be held tight.

The Weimeraner I walk is quite the goofball. He loves to be the center of attention and will jump right in front of his sister to get the love first. At first, he is very excitable and will jump up but once he settles, he is relatively calm. He will sniff anything and everything on our walks, especially if the other dog is sniffing it. He is quite easily distractible and hardly walks in a straight line. He loves to please so he constantly looks back for approval. Quite headstrong, so the owner chose to train him for walks with a pinch collar, and it seemed to work very quickly. He never pulls too much, even when he becomes distracted by another dog, person, or small animal.

I have had several experiences with the same Weimaraner. I had heard very little of the breed prior to my encounters but have been fascinated since. They are incredibly wise and well-behaved. The one I met seemed to be middle aged and this might have had an effect on her demeanor, but overall she struck me as highly intelligent, reserved but friendly and independent but not aloof. Many dogs bark and yelp, but this Weimaraner was the first dog I met in general who exhibited above average rudimentary vocal articulations. If she wanted to explore a few more square feet, if she was done with one part of the park and we were visibly near an exit or staircase, if she expected treats or desired attention, she would use her voice to let me know. Quite often dogs look as if they have so much to say and this Weimaraner was the first to show me that it is possible that they can share to some extent. The Weimaraner breed is also stereotyped as hyperactive, however this one in particular was incredibly well composed and conducted herself accordingly. She also lived with two young children, and she kept her composure consistent: at home with the kids, freely roaming the park, out in the cold or surrounded by warm smells of food. I was really impressed with her behavior and I loved being introduced to another highly intelligent and reliable breed.

These great dogs are very very full of energy. They are meant to run and if kept in a crate or apartment be ready to run, run and run fast when he is let out. They must have walks often and for a long time, so if you find yourself walking one these dogs that has not been walked, or given the proper amount of time to let the energy out you will have your hands full. After an initial time for running they can be a great walk. They are lovable and are trainable. They are extremely smart and friendly and will really want to say hello to anyone you pass. Their distinctive grey color, short, sleek coat, make it very easy to recognize and a beautiful companion. Just remember they are bred for speed, good scenting ability, courage and intelligence, they are an excellent game hunter and active participant in other dog sports, so a dog park is a great option.

she is the best girl we got her when my mom was pregnant with me, she is kinda my security blanket.

My favorite dogs that I’ve owned so far. I have owned 3 in my life so far. As of right now, I have two, they are both sisters. Their names are Biscuit and Gravy. We sent them off to be trained by a professional when they were very young, so they are very well trained. We used both praise and discipline to maintain good behavior. They are not afraid of much, but they sometimes get anxious during storms. They are so sweet and friendly. All of our friends love them, and wish their dogs were as good as our Weims. While they do have a lot of energy, they can be calmed down pretty easily if need be. Gravy loves to snuggle, give kisses, and play games. Biscuit is a little grumpy with her sister, but nice to everyone else. Strangely, neither of them like to swim. We don’t have to groom them much at all (a bath and a brush every once in a while is good enough). They are beautiful dogs, and get compliments all of the time. Ours do not have separation anxiety, and have never been destructive. Gravy is extremely healthy and fit. Biscuit is doing just fine, she is still very happy and gets exercise, but she has a cherry eye, and we suspect hip problems. This is a little more personal, but Gravy is so precious and gentle. Rather than tearing up stuffed animals, she is very careful with them, and snuggles them. (Which I think really shows a lot about her personality and temperament). To conclude, I would absolutely recommend this breed as long as you have space to run them. You will create a beautiful bond, and treated right, they will love you for life.
