Summary
About Weimaraner
Large, athletic German gundog with a sleek silver-grey coat and amber eyes. Energetic, intelligent and strongly people-oriented “Velcro dog” needing 1.5–2 hours of daily exercise plus training. Versatile in dog sports; without stimulation may become noisy, destructive or escape-prone.
About Field Spaniel
Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
