Living with a Weimaraner: What to Expect
The day-to-day reality of sharing your home with this large breed for the next 10-13 yrs - routine, grooming, money and temperament.
โก Daily routine
Top-tier energy. The Weimaraner expects 2+ hours of serious work every day - running, hiking, dog sports. Skip it for a week and your house will pay the bill.
