Observing the sleek, statuesque Weimaraner
This dog was originally developed as a hunting dog for both small and large prey. It is immediately recognizable by its stunning coat. The coat is a greyish-silver color with no markings and looks metallic in the sunlight. Its color, muscular body, and aristocratic posture make it look like a statue.
In the early part of the 19th century, Grand Duke Karl August, of Weimar, Germany, created this dog for hunting large game such as deer, bear, and boar. Hence the name. The dog later rpoved to be as accomplished bird dog as well.
Early in Germany this breed was guarded as a sign of nobility, it was not until 1941 that the dog sound its way to America, and the American Weimaraner Club was established. The club ordered that none of the animals would be sold to non-members and all unsuitable puppies to be destroyed.
Inevitably, the breed's popularity has gotten so great, it was impossible to control who obtained the animals. By the 1950's the breed had reached England. Now, the unique dog can be seen in dog shows all around the world.
