Here are some Frequently Asked Questions that we have about the Weimaraner Breed (Our answers are based on our experience and A LOT of research)
1.) Does Weimaraners make good house/apartment dogs?
Weimaraners make wonderful house pets, although they can be known to be on the HYPER side. Weims are very smart loving dogs known for their loyalty to their family. They love to be around people, always on your heels. Weims need exercise daily such as long jogs or playing in the yard. They will do ok in apartments only if he/she is being excised and receiving A LOT of attention. Leaving a weim alone all day nor exercising them properly is NOT A GOOD THING for pet or owner. They will act out most all of the time. So always remember to give your puppy/dog plenty of attention and exercise
