Weimaraner

Weimaraners originated in Germany and are one of the most beautiful, stealthy dogs with their grayish-brown coats and large gray or blue-gray or amber eyes. It is considered a large dog with a sleek shape and short or long hair. The tail is usually docked to 1 1/2 inches when the dog is two days old.

If considering Weimaraner adoption for your family you are making a good choice if you have room for him to run and are willing to walk it daily. They need lots of attention and exercise or they may seem much more rambunctious. When they are being trained, they need a firm hand and consistency for training to be successful. They learn very quickly and should be given a variety of things to do because repetitiveness will be a turn off for them and they may become resistant to the same old routine. Be sure that one of the first things you teach your dog is to sit. Praise him often whenever sitting, so it becomes natural. It can hurt young children or elderly people if he jumps on them.

They are fun-loving dogs with good temperaments. They may be reserved around strangers, but with early socialized behavior training, can be good with family members. Family members need to be assertive, so that the Weimaraner doesn’t take advantage of them. Weimaraner adoption is a good consideration if you don’t have other non-canine pets, as the Weimaraner may attack those pets as prey to be hunted and captured. They are very protective of their territory and family.

When considering Weimaraner adoption, be prepared to make him a part of the family. The Weimaraner loves to be inside with the family and play with them in and out of doors. They need a lot of companionship and leadership from the family members. He must be aware of boundaries and limits of what is acceptable. Those things must be adhered to and followed through with all family members.

The Weimaraner is very eager to please and once he learns a trick and is rewarded with treats, he will continue to perform for praise and more treats. If your Weimaraner barks without letting up, training will be required to set the limits on barking. You must be firm to get good results; however, you don’t want the dog to fear you. You should be firm, but loving. You and your newly adopted dog will be better off and happier with good training.
