Dog Breed Characteristics
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. |
| Country of Origin: | Germany |
| Size: | Medium-Large |
| Weight: | Males typically range between 60 to 85 lbs. Females between 50-70 lbs. |
| Color: | Gray, Silver, and Blue. Although Blue is a disqualifying factor surrounded by much debate. |
| Coat: | Short (smooth) and Long Haired. They do shed but the short hair is not as noticeable as the long haired Weims. |
| Tails: | Short hair Weims should have docked tails. Long tails are preferred with Long Haired Weimaraners. |
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.
