A breed known to have been commissioned and developed for German nobles, the Weimaraner is a mixture of pointer breeds and Mastiff breed.  The breed was closely controlled, that none-noble citizenry can only wish just the sight of a "silver-ghost". This moniker given to this breed for its silvery-gray tinge; likening it to an image of a ghost, luminous and demanding fear. The first dogs were larger and tapered down as the breed regenerated.  The Wiemaraners are superb all-utility dogs when it comes to the hunt. This breed of dog is not confined to fur and feather game but to bigger and fiercer or stronger game like boars, deer and bears. In a bear hunting session, the Weim exhibits one of a king bravery and valor; never ceasing the hunt despite how much the odds may be against it. Often than not, a well trained Weimaraner succeeds in making its hunter proud.

Unlike most dogs, the Weimaraner requires training at a very early age of three weeks to fully bring about the characteristics it was bred for. A Weimaraner not trained the way it must be is a great injustice to the breed, often causing the dog's deterioration and destruction. A Weimaraner is a hunting dog, used to recognizing itself as the best of all (even its litter-mates) and bundle of kinetic energy waiting to be released.

Referring to a study made by Dr. Scott and Fuller, both known for documenting the stages of development this breed must experience to fully realize its inherent potential. Three years from its being brought to the United States; this 1953 study is the guideline for the Weimaraner breeder when it comes to producing superior and manageable Weimaraner Gundogs.

Likened to a human's formative years, the Weimaraner's formative period start at birth and peak at the 6th to 8th week. An imprint concerning its environment and socialization is carried long into maturity. It is in this period that breeders invest time and effort in providing socialization and experiences that will mold and serve as foundation for the increase of training intensity.
