Weimaraners- Germany's Dog for Royalty

Weimaraner

Weimaraner With a Mouth Full

Jim Arndt
The Weimaraner is unique in that is was a hunting dog but also a family pet. Weimaraners are lovely dogs who got their name from the Grand Duke of Weimar, Charles August. The Weimearaners were one of the only dogs that was bred to be both a family dog and a hunting dog so they require a lot of attention and need to associate with people. Learn more about Weimaraners from the AKC Weimaraner Web site.
