Weimaraners are friendly, fearless, and obedient. Known as the 'Grey Ghost' for their striking silver-grey coat, they are high-energy hunting dogs that need extensive daily exercise. They suffer from severe separation anxiety and are best suited for active families where someone is home most of the time.
