History of Weimaraner dogs

The Weimaraner breed was originally developed by the Germans to meet the needs of foresters. They included the functions of bird hunting and retrieving. The breed was born and raised in Germany. In the mid-20th century, they were brought to United States where they became really popular. Though it is considered as slower dogs over other hunting dogs, Weimaraners hunting powers made them popular among others. The breed is very challenged with intellectual games. They are also good as family dogs but their excitement could be a problem to children.

Some say that Weimaraner is the result of albinism of an old German pointing dog while others believe that they see the traces of the Bloodhound breed in the Weims. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1943. Since then, it’s popularity is inevitable.
