Da li je Vajmarski pticar pas za Vas?

Standard opisuje temperament vajmarskog pticara kao prijateljskog, neustrasivog, pozornog i poslusnog psa, no to je samo polovina njegove osobnosti. Vajmarac je i asertivan, srcan, odvazan, odan ali i tvrdoglav. On ce vrlo brzo preuzeti ulogu vodje copora, ako mu se ukaze prilika za to. Kucni odgoj moze biti problematican, jer su skloni destruktivnom ponasanju.

Kao sve ostale velike lovacke pasmine, vajmarski pticar zahtjeva puno kretanja i aktivnosti. Dvoriste u kojem zivi mora biti ogradjeno kako ne bi odlutao u potrazi za divljaci. Buduci da je lovacka pasmina, potencijalno je opasan za ptice i male sisavce. Za razliku od ostalih lovackih pasa, vajmarski pticar je kucni pas i stoga ne podnasa zivot u kucici za psa.  

Ovo je pasmina koja zahtijeva trening poslusnosti, kako bi se moglo kontrolirati njegovu burnu (bucnu i naprasitu) narav. Vlasnicima se odmah u startu nabavke steneta preporuca box (metalni ili plasticni). Tako ce stene brze i lakse nauciti biti cisto u kuci, a i namjestaj ce ostati zasticen od ostrih zubica vaseg steneta dok ste odsutni. Puppy classes or control exercises at home are essential for the Weimaraner the moment he enters the family. He must be taught all members of the family are to be obeyed. Training methods must be gentle and firm, for harsh treatment will sour his attitude.

1. Weimaraners are very energetic animals... they are bred to hunt all day with their master.
Changing this behavior changes the essential Weim. If you can not deal with this behavior, you should look at other breeds less rambunctious!

2. Weims are not soft mouthed like a Golden Retriever or Irish Setter. They are still the game hunter and some Weims have a low tolerance for small fur bearing animals including cats and small dogs. Changing this behavior again changes the basic temperament of the dog.

3. Weims can bark and if you are away from them too much and they are left to themselves, Weimaraners are like any other lonely dog, they will bark incessantly and develop bad habits or try escaping their surroundings.

4. Although Weimaraners are hunting dogs, they do not like living outdoors.
They require your attention. They are the true, loyal, hunting companions in every respect, needing your friendship. Chaining a Weim outside will not work!

5. Inspite of the folklore and myth surrounding the breed, the Weimaraner is not a wonder dog.
Given the opportunity, he will still steal the pot roast off the dining room table when no one is looking!

This may seem like a lot of work, but a good owner/dog relationship could last around fifteen years. Longer than some marriages! The time and effort put into finding a dog that suits your needs and personality, whether it a Weimaraner or some other breed, will provide a rewarding experience for both of you over the life of the dog
