The ''Gray Ghost'' is definitely one of the most striking gundog breeds. He has a beautiful metallic gray coat and light-colored eyes. A superb working dog, he is intelligent, keen, and devoted to his owner. He is also a high powered dog with endless energy and dominant character who needs extensive socialization, training, attention, and affection from an experienced and equally strong-willed handler. In the right hands, he is a marvelous dog, but he must have employment. An bored, under-exercised Weimaraner can be a nightmare-possessive, over protected, noisy, restless, and destructive.
German hunters employed dogs of Weimaraner type as early 17th century, but by the 19th century the Weimaraner was kept exclusively at the German court of Weimar. Introduced to the U.S. in 1929 and to the U.K. in 1952, it is now renowned worldwide as a working gundog. A long-haired variety appeared in 1973, but remains uncommon.
