Dogumentary TV, caught Up with the good folks at the Weimaraner Western Regional Field test in California City, California. With interviews from Anne Taguchi, president of the Southern California Weimaraner Club and other breed experts, this video goes over the breed with a insightful and warm heart.
The Weimaraner is a large dog that was originally bred for hunting in the early 19th century. Early Weimaraners were used by royalty for hunting large game such as boar, bear and deer. As the popularity of large game hunting began to decline, Weimaraners were used for hunting smaller animals like fowl, rabbits and foxes.
The Weimaraner is an all-purpose gun dog. The name comes from the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Karl August, whose court, based in the city of Weimar, enjoyed hunting.

Just lost our 17 year old Weimaraner... He’d been diagnosed with a slow growing cancer and our vet honestly thought Blue would have died of old age before the cancer returned. He unexpectedly underwent *GENUINE* service dog training when he was 7 years old and acted like he’d always done the job since puppy hood. He was the dog of my heart and lifetime.😘

[@600conormc]

Wow thats a very good age for a weim

[@mhunt7093]

I agree when the lady says you are either a Weimaraner person or you are not. We are obsessed with ours but some people don't like how "in your face" he is. He just wants you to love him and he wants to be with you 24/7 which is why I love Weims so much.

I love their look. It's sleek, toned, and refined.

[@hunterthedon19]

I had one growing up. Her name was spirit she lived to 14 years old and I’ll never have another breed. The smartest and the most affectionate dog ever. I’ll always miss spirit and running around with her my whole childhood. Please know this though, don’t get one of these dogs if you can’t get it’s energy out on a daily basis! But outside of that so amazing.

Finding a good Weim is NOT easy. It's great to see so many nice ones in this video! Typically, they go to "flavor-of-the-month" or "I love how they look" homes where-by they never get to do what they were designed and cultivated to do, for centuries! Kudos to your club and those attendees that give their Weims a sense of purpose, pride, fitness and satisfaction. Oh....and it looks like fun for the owners to. ;)

[@ginger1549]

We had 2weims ( not together - one at a time) and they REQUIRE both mental stimulation and a lot of exercise. Even though we both had jobs outside the home, in the evenings - winter & summer - we took them where they could run free and chase the wildlife every day. Our one dog had an absolute hated for squirrels and if she saw one she'd go crazy. She was able to open the doors and would often run out into the yard if she saw a squirrel in the bird feeder. Thus , if we were not home we had to be absolutely certain the doors were all locked, esp. the sliding door to the backyard.They are extremely intelligent and easy to train.

I liked the multiple interviews at the major trial. I like that there were different perspectives from different people in one event. Only thing which we see in other videos from single breeders is the info on the dogs in the videos. Would have been nice to get the stats on the individual dogs, ages, weight, height, titles. That's what I was waiting for. But otherwise nice to see a new type of video. This is how new people would meet a breed and breeders.

Love your videos should do one on a Working Bandog would be great

[@bun3867]

When it comes to hunting/flushing upland game, how do these guys compare to Vizslas or Brittanys? Looking for a good hunting dog currently.

[@dariarylkova5720]

Is there really a breed that can just be left out in the yard? Or that won't have behavioral problems if they dont get sufficient mental and physical exercise? Even flock guardians do better when they're well socialized/integrated with their human family. Sad to see any family dog left out in the yard alone all day. Could you please do a video on supplements for highly active or working dogs. Like what do different people use as preventatives or treatments for arthritis.

[@janedobiesix6588]

Livestock guardian dogs are a lot more independent and prefer to spend some time by themselves roaming outside, but of course they also want to spend some time with people too. Weimaraners are not happy unless they spend ALL their time with their people...you cannot go to the bathroom to pee without them coming with you lol

[@dariarylkova5720]

Jane Dobiesix the bathroom thing can also be true of any breed. Just depends on how the dog is raised. I have huskies, which are a very independent breed. They follow me to the bathroom. All dogs will be more well-rounded if raised as part of a human family.

[@janedobiesix6588]

Daria Rylkova Definitely, all dogs will benefit from human contact, but different breeds have varying requirements for how much is enough. A Great Pyrenees will be totally happy to roam by himself during the day, provided you have enough acreage and livestock for him to protect. That doesn't mean you can totally ignore them, but they need far less human contact since they're relatively independent. Whereas "velcro" dogs will become neurotic if they are consistently left alone all day. Weimaraners are extreme velcro dogs and their human social needs are far greater than just about any other breed. Viszlas are the same, and Great Danes are close but still have some independence. Weimaraners/Viszlas have zero independence and as working dogs are happier not just being by your side but having a job to do.

[@laurenhartso]

I knew someone who had a Labrador who just loved hanging out outside all day. They'd try to bring him in but he just wanted to spend his days outside. He slept inside and was a pet. But. I guess it does happen.

[@chambers1123]

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

Great video about the breed. I have a Weimaraner as my explosives detection partner, he's simply amazing! The ONLY thing I wish the AKC hadn't done to this breed was docking their tails. My Weim was purchased by the Federal Gov't straight from a top breeder in Germany and they don't dock the tails. It's not needed and to tell you the truth, I wouldn't want him any other way. I absolutely LOVE his "happy meter"! The breed standards in Europe are far superior to our AKC standards and I really wish America would get on board and make our standards respectable.

[@shug2795]

I have to disagree. Tail docking was never initiated for "looks" or "aesthetics". It has been done for centuries to many HUNTING breeds, and for good reason. I own a setter and a pointer (long tails). I have come out of the grouse woods on occasion with my dog's exuberantly happy tail throwing blood! They LIVE/LOVE to hunt more than anything else, but that tail takes a beating now and again. Not the case with the docked tails. I wouldn't own anything but a setter or pointer but when I had Brittanys, I never had this issue. Of course, those against hunting or that don't hunt their BIRD dogs are beyond reason.

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

@@shug2795 Although I do understand your reasoning, the AKC does not have docking as a standard because of hunters like yourself. The vast majority of hunting dog owners never use their dog for hunting, it's simply the truth. In my case, my bird dog hunted bombs....not birds.... and 90% of all of his training was indoors or in a parking lot searching vehicles. So yeah, I LOVE his tail and thank God he came from Europe (you know, the place the breed was made) with a tail....which is of course the standard over there and they actually hunt with their dogs with tails intact. If I hunted like you did, I would 100% agree with docking after I saw just one pup come out of the bush bleeding!

[@shug2795]

@@8654ZuluFoxtrot "The vast majority of hunting dog owners never use their dog for hunting..." Do I need to repeat that? "The vast majority of HUNTING dog owners...." "HUNTING....." There are hundreds of non-hunting dogs to choose from! Stop messing up hunting dogs.

[@Delightful_Addition]

Did she say "extra eyelashes" at four minutes and 16 seconds in? That is interesting, but would that really be a problem/concern to make sure a dog does not have that? Also, at six minutes and 19 seconds, it was said that the colors blue and black are disqualifications to the American Weimaraners. Does this mean that thorough-bred/fully-red, standard Weimaraners can be blue or black in other places? If so, I feel it is odd to try to judge based on a specific color, even when there are other colors that are known and accepted in the breed. That sounds more like a show-ring standard which does little, or nothing, to judge the actual quality or legitimacy of a dog.

[@JattAnmoli]

Delightful Addition dogs cant get eyelashes out of their eyes if they fall in.

[@Delightful_Addition]

Anmol S Well, dogs are able to rub their eyes. They may not be able to specifically pluck something that has fallen into or onto their eyes, but they are able to address it and movie it out by rubbing. Also, eyes are fascinating parts of the body that have self-cleaning and lubricating methods.

[@AnnaStarseedOracle]

Eyelashes can turn inwards into the eye and cause irritation and potentially damage. Also thoroughbred is a breed of horse, it doesn't mean purebred.

[@K9queen1220]

I believe distichiasis is the name of extra eyelashes which don't grow on the normal eyelash hairline and can cause problems long term and could go undetected. There are some breeders of blue (and they didn't mention longhair) Weimaraners in Europe that can trial for hunting but not conformation. Black is a dominant color, so anyone attempting to pass off a black "Weimaraner" as pure would have a crossbreed mix. Breed standard has nothing to do with breeders. People believe that non-show dogs are exempt from following breed standard and that's not true.

[@Janeway1269]

Are you sure about that with the black? Loads of breeds have colors that have been carried in lines from far back in their history and just pop up from time to time. Also there are dominant and non-dominant forms of black genetically. However not sure how it works when up against genes for the grey. THere are legitimate black and tan labradors for example that are not crosses.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

How come people cut there tail ? I often wonder who and why did my dog have a cut tail. these dogs are awsome

[@zacharyyeagler7262]

Tales get docked to prevent injuries that can later in life be extremely damaging, painful, parilyzing or even cause death.

[@franksmith8210]

[@groooah]

As far as I know, blue or black weimaraner are not included in the standard for breeding. (There might be exceptions) Also many blue or black weimaraner come from illegal breeding. (Again there might be exceptions) It just saddens me that there are so many people who buy them simply for their coat. I find the coat rather boring-ish? Maybe it's because I grew up with weimaraner. We got our Gustav for hunting and after his death, we took in a female long hair weimaraner, we intend to train for mantrailing. They are definitely not the kind of dog you will have an easy ride with. Especially if you are inexperienced. Personality-wise these dogs are a perfect match for our family.

[@AnneTaguchi]

That is the case in all countries other than the US. In the US, they are a disqualifying fault in the standard but are registerable. They can participate in all performance events.

[@ByronGraham]

why is the blue and black not classified?

[@mrsvirgotiger]

They are with UKC but not AKC however they used to be. The blues were beating the grays in the show ring and the gray owners had the money so they basically paid the AKC to ban them. You can have AKC registered blues but you can't show them. Blues can compete in all other events as far as I know and definitely can do field trials just no show ring.

[@alisha7224]

Does anybody know why weimaraners are not used for protection work? They are fiercely protective but I never see them being used in that capacity. These dogs not only point and retrieve, they literally hunt down animals. I have a Weimarane that is the most Protective and courageous dog that I have ever owned and it is not unique this is a breed characteristic. Do they get too aggressive and that is why they are not used? The Doberman (The breed created for purpose to protect humans) was CREATED with Weimaraners. The doberman intelligence and protection is exactly like Weims, & Weims are bigger & have SUPERIOR athleticism.

[@igmugleska966]

Shh. It’s a secret that they are great protectors! Better for the unsuspecting home invaders. 🤫

[@semper7717]

I also don't understand why she said the world is split between Weimaraner people and non Weimaraner people. I have a beautiful Ridgeback male and would love to pair him up with a male Weimaraner because they are both smart energetic breeds that love to run. I think it would be fun to have them both in the house. I also love labs, pointers and Dutch Shepherds. So where do I fall in on her spectrum? This is what happens when you breed for 40 years and you start believing in your own mind that you can only have and accept on type of dog. lol

We had one that was a dangerously amazing gaud dog. That was not the intention but, what he became. He was an alpha as well. We spent a lot of money in the beginning for him in a well know(to the area) obedience school that was spacifc to shepherds. They said he was the smartest dog they've ever seen and would never try to train another. Very dangerously protective of the family. He was extremely smart and stubborn. Anyways yes an amazing guard dog but required a very high level of caution when anyone outside family was around.

The Weimaraners I know are unstable. My uncles one is so unpredictable it’s attacked people he knows and hates dogs. Really weird because he was brought up in an amazing environment. Socialised, exercised well, mentally stimulated.

DWC my in-laws got theirs at 6 months and he’s been socialized and has two older sisters (different breeds) but he does not like other dogs/people. He’s aggressive towards people he doesn’t know, especially in his territory. I learned it was because my In-laws let him run the house... so I did some training with him and he knows I’m alpha and behaves around me.

My first was unpredictable around other animals. Would never hurt a child though. He got in a fight with 3 pitts killed one I shot one and the other ran away. He was 120 pounds larger for the breed but a very sweet soul. The one I have now is also animal aggressive. They hunt other animals it's in there blood. But would never hurt a child, but very weary of strangers.

Probably show bloodline?

I can't take people serious who are cutting their pets tails. Poor world..

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

VB31 To be fair, if you are hunting with your dog it can be beneficial as a long tail can get trapped or injured. If you have ever been in the unfortunate position of dealing with an injured tail, you’ll known that those things do not mend easily. For pets and show however, I have to agree with you. Here in Australia the practice of ‘docking’ a tail on a weimaraner is banned and I believe the same now in the UK. My weim had a full whip-like tail that could clear the coffee table with one happy wag. 😆

I have one and he’s a pain in the ass

[@benwakefield93]

I wish you wouldn't dock their tales. No need mine was happy with his whole tale all his life

This past February our pure breed Weimaraner just passed away. We pet rescued a Blue Weimaraner just recently. The only difference between the so called pure breed and the Blue are his blue eye's and his coat has some blue in it. There is nothing else different. I even looked up the difference and their color is the only difference. I have come to the conclusion that your pure breed industry is "Racist" to Blue Weimaraners. Very sad!

Paul Frank my Blue Weim female is a big sweetie! I don’t care if she’s not grey.
