Weimaraners are rather large sporting dogs of an aristocratic appearance. They are always gray (from mouse gray to silver gray), blending to somewhat lighter hues on the ears and the head. The Weimaraner's coat is short and smooth. A long-coated variety of Weimaraners is not accepted in the breed standard. However, some admirers of long-coated Weimaraners made some attempts to get this type accepted before the Second World War. Longhaired Weimaraners sometimes appear in the litters nowadays. Nevertheless, most long-coated Weimaraners are culled once they are born.
As the standard goes, male Weimaraners should weigh up to 85 pounds and females up to 65 pounds. The Weimaraner's appearance is strikingly intelligent and gracious. Amber eyes are always sparkling with loyalty and eagerness to cooperate.

The Weimaraner Dog is the breed developed in Germany around the 19th century. It was initially bred as a hunting and companion dog. These dogs are very active, smart and versatile. The German court of Weimar is known as the place where the Weimaraner first appeared around 125 years ago. The old red Schweisshunde crossed with the German Shorthaired Pointer and some other German hunting breeds resulted in the Weimaraner Dog breed. The Vizsla, the English and Spanish Pointers and the Great Dane are considered to be the Weimaraner's ancestors.
The Grand Duke Carl August is known to have played a significant role in the development of the Weimaraner breed. By the end of the 19th century the breed was thought one of the best and most popular hunting breeds in Germany. In the early 1900s the Weimaraner Dogs appeared in Europe. The wars prevented the breed from gaining the popularity it might have got then.
The Weimaraner was bred to hunt wild boar and bear. According to the AKC breed standard, the Weimaraner belongs to the sporting group of dogs. After the Second World War the Weimaraner gained popularity in the US and Canada. The AKC first registered the Weimaraner Dog in 1943. The breed became popular in the UK in the 1950s.
