The weimaraner is a sporting and gun dog that originated from Germany. It instantly draws fans and admirers through either its elegant form and profile, or through its hunting abilities. Its refined bearing enables it to be a formidable entry in dog shows. If you think your weim is competitive enough to join a dog show (and most especially if it has underwent weimaraner training), check and ensure that it is in line with breed standards.
The height and weight of your potential show dog is one of the main considerations in checking your dog for breed conformity. The height up to the top of the shoulders need to be around twenty three to twenty seven inches. As regards weight, a weim needs to be between fifty five to seventy five pounds.
Coat color is the next important concern for your weim. The only two colors permissible are mouse or gray. White markings on the chest are fine, but larger white marks will not make the dog eligible for show. Other markings on the dog’s body besides those mentioned are treated as faults. The coat needs to be short and sleek. Possible coat type variations are the long-haired weim and the blue weim. These types are sought after by some weim fanciers. Nevertheless, these are not acceptable for show. Admirers of the long-haired and blue weims are doing their best to get these two coat types given due acknowledgment, but acceptance is still dim.
Other traits or features the weimaraner will get judged on include the head which needs to display courage and nobility. The proper eye colors are gray, blue-gray, and light amber. The long, folded ears are set high on the head. The ideal nose color is gray, and to those who are contemplating having their dog’s tail docked, the ideal tail length is six inches.
Lastly, your weimaraner’s exterior behavior should show the dog’s stamina, speed, grace and other fine points. Imagine also the impact of weimaraner training on your dog!Your dog’s personality and character also need to be active players when it comes to increasing its chances of winning, since it is in this area that winning dogs differ from others. In the end, it is also how well your weim bears itself on stage.
