Have you ever heard of the ‘Gray Ghost’? That’s the nickname of the Weimaraner, a gray shorthaired dog with an especially sleek coat. This breed is known for their ability to hunt and run with exceptional speed. They are great with agility and endurance competitions and are one of the more popular sporting breeds. The typical Weimaraner stands between 23 to 27 inches. Weight can also run between 55 and 90 pounds. They are known to be extremely alert and obedient as well as friendly. Despite their size, they make excellent dogs for families with small children. They also play well with other dogs, but require supervision. Also, because of their size and sporting agility, they require a large area to run and do well in homes rather than apartments. They shed seasonally and require little brushing or grooming.
