Description: Weimaraners were bred to be personal hunting companions, retrievers and tracking dogs. When the breed was developed initially by the noblemen of the Court of Weimar, it was to hunt and track big game. When the land holdings in Weimar diminished, pointing dog stock was introduced into the breed and they evolved into a bird dog. They have very keen noses, and although not big running field dogs, they excel in their ability to find birds and to be a true personal hunting companion; pointing birds and retrieving birds.
