If you’ve long been a Weimaraner-adoring fan, we’ve got some fun facts to pull out the next time you see one of these gorgeous pets.
#1 You might hear the Weimaraner called the “gray ghost.”
#2 According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), they get this spooky nickname because of their silver-gray fur and sleek appearance.
#3 Purebred Weimaraners often have a splotch of white on their chest, velvety ears, and a lean and muscular build.
#4 When puppies are born, the AKC notes, they have a distinctive tiger-stripe pattern and light blue eyes.
#5 As the puppies mature, their eyes change color from light blue to a striking shade of gray or amber.
#6 The Weimaraner began as a sporting dog for German nobility.
