Weimaraners were bred in Germany in the early 19th century for their courage, intelligence, and excellent sense of smell to hunt large prey. They developed a dog with the stamina, speed, and hunting versatility to track down prey of any size. This breed hunted deer and bears. The stunning image of this distinctive gray breed was immortalized by photographer William Wegman. This breed is so loyal that it almost suffocates a human. That means Weimaraners hate being alone and they will be very vocal about it. As high-energy dogs, they need lots of outdoor air. If you have the time to have a very active dog that wants to be with you all day, you might say you have found the perfect pet. Because this breed is so attached, separation anxiety is a common problem. According to VetStreet, "Some Weimaraners become upset when left to themselves and will bark, dig, run away, or hurt themselves." On top of that, they can be difficult to housetrain, stubborn, and demanding.
