Weimaraner
Large · 55–90 lbs
Developed in 19th-century Germany for the Weimar aristocracy to hunt large game including deer, bear, and wild boar, the Weimaraner was a closely guarded breed — club members had to agree never to breed them with other breeds and to put down litters not meeting the standard. President Dwight Eisenhower owned a Weimaraner, and photographer William Wegman made the breed internationally famous through his iconic portraits of Weimaraners dressed in human clothing.
The Weimaraner is a sleek, powerful sporting dog with extreme energy (90/100) and a strong prey drive (80/100) — demanding 90 minutes of daily exercise and an experienced owner who can provide structure. Known for serious separation anxiety and a need for constant companionship, this breed is not suitable for owners who are away from home for long hours.

Weimaraner Buyer's Guide
Common questions answered before you buy
With some preparation, yes. The Weimaraner is trainable (80/100) but has a moderate stubborn streak (45/100) — meaning they'll learn commands, but may decide not to follow them if they don't see the point. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. Puppy classes are strongly recommended.
A lot. The Weimaraner needs at least 90 minutes of vigorous exercise every day — not a 20-minute walk. With an energy level of 90/100, they were built to work, run, or perform demanding tasks. Without proper physical and mental stimulation, they become destructive, anxious, or develop behavioural problems. This is a working dog in a family pet's body.
Lightly. The Weimaraner is a relatively low shedder by dog standards, though no dog is truly zero-shed. Occasional brushing keeps the coat neat and minimizes stray hairs. Grooming effort for this breed is relatively low. The Weimaraner coat is easy to maintain with basic weekly brushing and an occasional bath.
Generally yes. The Weimaraner scores 75/100 on friendliness — warm with people they know, though they may take time to warm up to strangers. They do reasonably well with children when raised with them. Early socialisation and proper introductions are key.
The most frequently reported health concerns in the Weimaraner include Bloat, Hip dysplasia and Hypothyroidism. Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file. Budget for annual vet visits and consider pet health insurance from puppyhood.
Not ideally. The Weimaraner is a high-energy breed (90/100) that needs at least 90 minutes of vigorous exercise every day and room to move. Without outdoor space to release energy, they become restless, destructive, or develop anxiety. A house with a yard — or a very committed owner who can provide multiple outdoor sessions daily — is a much better fit.
Not reliably. The Weimaraner has a strong prey drive (80/100), meaning a squirrel, cat, or interesting smell can override even solid recall training in an instant. Off-leash time is best reserved for fully enclosed areas. This is not a trainability failure — it's a hardwired instinct that even experienced trainers respect.
