Weimaraners
Long Haired Weimaraner
1.- They have a very smooth short coat that comes in all shades of gray.
2.- There is also a rare long haired variety that has a gorgeous silky coat, with an undocked, feathered tail.
3.- Females can weigh between 55 to 70 lbs, and males can weigh between 70 to 80 pounds.
4.- If you have a Weimaraner, you better have a big back yard and be quite athletic, since these dogs need tons of exercise. If they don’t exercise and play they can become very destructive.
5.- The Weimaraner temperament is cheerful and affectionate, but they do need to be well socialized from puppyhood. They are very protective of their family and very territorial.
6.- They are good with children, but they need to be controled because they have a tendency to knock kids over with their rambouciousness. They can also be too rough for elderly people.
7.- The Weimaraner are also known as the “Velcro Dogs”. They get totally attached to their owners and won’t separate from them.
8.- They can suffer from severe separation anxiety, and cannot be left alone too long. This is not a dog to keep in the back yard. They have to be members of the family.
9.- They suffer from gastric problems. They are prone to bloat or suffer from gastric torsion, which is a serious condition that needs to be treated right away.
10.- They need to be trained well to become the wonderful gentle and protective companions that they can be.
