#7 In the 20s of the last century, interest in gray hounds from the Old World arose in the United States, but the first individuals sent overseas were pre-sterilized, making it impossible to breed them in America.
In 1929, the Club accepted the first foreigner into its ranks - the American Howard Knight, who managed to convince his German colleagues to sell several pedigree dogs for breeding in the New World. In 1941, he created the Weimaraner Club in the United States and became its president. In the 50s, Weimaraners gained incredible popularity overseas, becoming pets of such famous people as President Eisenhower and movie star Grace Kelly. Later, additional public interest in them was fueled by photographer and artist William Wegman, who, by the way, became world-famous for his successful images of these dogs.
#8 The massive, literally agiotage, fascination with elegant Weimaraners – both in the United States and in Europe – has led to the fact that today they are increasingly considered as companion dogs, pets, participants in exhibitions and prestigious championships.
At the same time, the hunting qualities of many of them are very ordinary. However, you can find a good working dog. They mainly represent the German and American lines, since, in Germany and the USA, breeders still prioritize the working qualities of the animal, however, sometimes to the detriment of the exterior.
#9 Weimaraners are energetic, cheerful and friendly dogs.
They are selflessly devoted to the family in which they live and need constant contact with the person. You should not keep these animals in an aviary, like other hunting dogs, because this makes them suffer. Loneliness in the home walls of Weimaraners is also difficult, and the company of another pet does not relieve them of longing for the owner. It is worth considering that a dog, left to itself for a long time, can panic, "smash" furniture in the apartment and even harm itself in an attempt to escape from the house. Worried, the Weimaraner begins to bark, whine, howl, and even dig. The dog will calm down only when the household appears on the doorstep. These pets love to follow their beloved owners, adore to be located at their feet, and conduct "conversations" with them, to which they are very inclined.
