The Weimaraner is a striking German gun dog with a distinctive silver-grey coat and pale amber or blue eyes. Nicknamed the Grey Ghost, Weimaraners are powerful, athletic, and highly intelligent sporting dogs with strong personalities. They are devoted to their owners but require experienced handling and substantial daily exercise to prevent problem behaviours.
My Weimaraner picks up training commands faster than any dog I have worked with. She learned a complex tracking sequence in two sessions that took my previous dog two months. She is motivated, responsive, and genuinely engaged in working with me. The challenge is directing all that intelligence prod…
Read full review →My Weimaraner is the most strikingly beautiful dog I have ever owned. His silver coat and pale amber eyes turn heads everywhere we go. He is also the most devoted dog I have had, following me everywhere with quiet intensity. He needs a huge amount of exercise but when that need is met he is calm, ob…

We have a dog walker on work days and she copes, but the attachment is real. With adequate exercise and company she is wonderful. Sh…

She works a field with confidence and style. Off season she is my devoted family companion who shares the sofa and follows my children around…
Read full review →My Weimaraner considers all four members of my family to be her people and distributes her devotion equally and generously. She greets each of us with the same whole-body joy every time we enter. She sleeps nearest whoever came home last. She is completely integrated into our family life and I canno…
Read full review →I thought I was active enough for a Weimaraner. I was not. He needs more than two hours of vigorous exercise daily. On the days I provide it he is manageable. On the days I cannot he becomes a grey ghost of destruction, methodically dismantling everything he can reach. He is a brilliant dog but the …
