The WEIMARANER is an outstanding hunting dog, adept at all aspects of the sport, and if the German Weimaraner Club has its way, this is the way the breed will stay.

The Weimaraner is one of the most elegant dogs, large, self-confident, very intelligent and with a keen nose. It requires an owner with special talents, and has to be trained well because it is stubborn and headstrong, and will keep testing how much it can get away with. But because the Weimaraner has such irresistible charm, the owner may find it difficult to remain firm, especially in the case of puppies. Any prospective buyer who will be unable to train the dog in obedience and subordination on a regular basis should mentally add the cost of a professional trainer to the purchase price of the puppy. An ill-behaved Weimaraner is unbearable, turning everyone in the house into its slaves. A well-brought-up Weimaraner, on the other hand, enriches the life of the entire family, which it loves and defends. The Weimaraner is a merry and attentive companion with a great sense of humor. It is also a fantastic playmate for children because it loves racing around and chasing balls, and puts up patiently with having Lego pieces stuck in its ears. It needs to be close to its master, and therefore should not be kept in a run or kennel.

The Weimaraner is one of the few hunting breeds that can also be used as a watchdog or guard dog; in fact, some individuals have a tendency to be aggressive. This is a dog that is extremely active, and therefore needs a daily walk of at least two and a half hours.
