The Weimaraner is a specially equipped with dog as a dog collector.

The history of Weimaraner begins with Grand Duke Carl August and the nobles of the court of Weimar, known as the hunter among kings and the king among hunters, you have selected the gray race silver for hunting in forests. According to German tradition, not only the time annulled the traces of the origin of the breed, but they were perhaps cancelled deliberately by the nobles of the time, so that this magnificent specimen is exclusive to the court of Weimar. The theory today proves that it comes from France and indirectly from North Africa.. It is thought this because of the colour of the fur, similar to the race of Saint Louis.

Gray color is a recessive inherited trait, so it follows that it was selected to obtain it. We know today as the Silver ghosts or grey ghosts thanks to the American soldiers who watched them move gracefully through the German camps.

Head with slightly pronounced occipital bone, similar to the implant of the ears, are also present in the Grey Saint Louis Hound.

If you are buying a puppy, find a good breeder who will show you the health clearances of the puppy's parents. Health clearances show that a dog has been tested and cleared for a particular condition.

The first thing to know about him Weimaraner is that it is a domestic dog. Not made for the kennel or backyard life, and it's not made for apartment living either. This highly active dog needs a large, safe yard where he can run, and an active family that gives you the exercise and mental stimulation you need.

A sense of humor also helps, especially when you see how you Weimaraner has remodeled your garden in its efforts to get rid of mice, moles and bugs. You will be proud of yourself for your good efforts, so don't forget to praise him while you calculate in your head how long, money and effort it will take to put the garden back the way you like it. You may want to monitor him more closely and provide him with additional exercise..

The Weimaraner they need a couple of hours of daily exercise if they want to avoid barking, recreational chewing and digging. Play fetch and other running games, take him for a jog or a walk, teach him to run alongside his bike or get him involved in a dog sport like agility or flyball.

The Weimaraner of any age with separation anxiety, which is not unusual for this breed, They can become destructive and can "dig" on their carpet or sofa in an attempt to create a safe nest.

The Weimaraner they are very intelligent, and they are also independent thinkers. That combination can make them a challenge when it comes to training.. Be consistent and firm, but soft. The Weimaraner is sensitive and does not respond well to anger, But he must be able to say "no" and say it seriously. Keep training sessions short and interesting, and always end them when you've done something right so I can praise you for a job well done. Last, but not less important, keep your sense of humor. Its Weimaraner may or may not do what I ask, depending on many factors, but will always disobey with style.

Start getting used to your Weimaraner to have it brushed and examined when it's a puppy. Handle your feet frequently – dogs are sensitive to their feet – and look inside your mouth and your ears.
