Weimaraner - All About the Weimaraner

Although the Weimaraner has existed since the seventeenth century, today's breed was developed in the nineteenth century. Silver-grey, with a short smooth coat, it is a hunting dog that was used for its tracking skills, especially with larger game. Weimaraners can make excellent household pets, but they are known to be easily excitable, which means that they require a lot of walks and exercise.

One of the most appealing aspects of the Weimaraner is the color of its coat. Silver-gray is quite rare in the dog world. In fact, the color was obtained after generations of controlled breeding. This breed's unique color and blue eyes have led it to be nicknamed the silver ghost. It has what may be described as a proud appearance, which is also in part due to its breeding, as the Weimaraner was initially destined to be available only to nobles.

Initially bred in Germany, the Weimaraner is now bred in a variety of European countries and the United States. They are generally considered to be loyal and playful dogs, but some require professional training. As with many other breeds, it is important to set specific boundaries with these dogs, otherwise their temperament is such that they could rapidly end up running the household.

At eBay, fans of the Weimaraner have access to numerous items that include pictures, books, training CDs, and keychains--all of which revolve around the popular breed. Although the dogs themselves are not available via the website, almost everything related to them is. With new items being added on a regular basis, dog lovers have a good chance of finding the Weimaraner items and collectibles they're looking for.
