The Weimaraner is a family dog that enjoys being part of the family - every part. Don't leave it outside or out of the family circle. Needs firm training and socializing in early puppyhood, and consistent handling thereafter. A very energetic dog who needs a regular exercise routine. OK for the apartment if properly exercised, but probably better off if given a fenced yard in which to run and play. Good with children but the dog's energy may overcome a younger child. Should be OK with other canines, but be careful about non-canine pets. Their smooth coat is easily maintained.
