The Weimaraner is a very people-oriented breed. They have a strong desire to work, making the breed a good choice for the novice hunter. It requires a gentle touch when training to hunt and it often learns best from a seasoned hunting dog.

 

Weimaraner’s are not an independent breed and love to be with their owner, never leaving them alone. This can create very severe separation anxiety in the breed.

 

The eyes of a Weimaraner may be light amber, grey or blue-grey. This breeds short coat and unusual eyes give it a distinctive regal appearance.
