Dog Breed Characteristics
for Weimaraner Dogs

Knowing the dog breed characteristics for Weimaraner dogs is important for breeders who want to maintain the pure blood lines, for people who want to pick a healthy pet, and for those who want to show their Weimaraners.

The Weimaraner breed description used today, was published by the AKC in 1971, after much debate about the disqualification of a “distinctly blue or black coat” on Weimaraners. (We know them as Blue Weimaraners.)

Here is the quick and dirty version of the Weimaraner breed description, for those who are just looking for a Weimaraner puppy that will be a family pet:

A keen sense of smell should also be included in the Weimaraner breed description. Although that probably goes without saying since they are a sporting/hunting dog. They are also known for pointing, guarding, and are used as police dogs and search & rescue dogs.

If you plan to get a Weimaraner puppy or rescue dog that will be a pet, then you can look at the more relaxed Weimaraner breed description in the table above. You will also want to consider carefully the Weimaraner temperament before you decide to get a Weim.

A dog meeting these dog breed characteristics standards will still be a fine pet. However, if you are planning to breed or show your dog, you will need to adhere to the AKC breed standards for Weimaraner dogs.
