Weimaraner
The Weimaraner is a silver-grey breed of dog developed originally both for tracking large game, such as bears, and as a pointing breed. The name comes from the Grand Duke of Weimar, Charles August, whose court enjoyed hunting. It has a lean, athletic build with a short, silver-coloured coat. It is very active, intelligent, and friendly in temperament. There is also a rare long-coated version which is the same except for coat length.
