Weimaraner Breed Profile

Breed Overview

The Weimaraner, often called the “Grey Ghost” for its sleek silver-grey coat, originated in Germany during the early 19th century. Bred as a hunting companion for nobility, the breed excelled in tracking large game such as deer and boar, later becoming skilled bird dogs. Known for their intelligence, speed, and stamina, Weimaraners remain active, loyal, and affectionate companions today.

These dogs are highly energetic and thrive on human interaction, making them excellent family pets for active households. They are intelligent problem-solvers and can be strong-willed, so consistent training and plenty of physical and mental exercise are essential.

Size Category and Why Growth Tracking Matters

The Weimaraner is a large breed, with males typically weighing 70–90 lbs and females 55–75 lbs. Because of their size and rapid growth in puppyhood, careful monitoring is crucial. Overfeeding or rapid weight gain can put stress on developing bones and joints, while underfeeding may hinder healthy muscle development. Tracking their growth helps ensure they stay lean, strong, and structurally sound as they mature.

Weimaraner Growth Chart & Weight Ranges

Below is a general guideline for average Weimaraner puppy growth. Individual dogs may grow slightly faster or slower depending on genetics, nutrition, and activity.

Age	Average Male Weight (lbs)	Average Female Weight (lbs)
4 weeks	7 – 10	6 – 9
8 weeks	16 – 20	14 – 18
3 months	28 – 35	25 – 32
4 months	38 – 46	32 – 40
6 months	55 – 65	45 – 55
9 months	65 – 80	55 – 65
12 months	70 – 90	55 – 75

Note: Males typically weigh 5–10 lbs more than females and may take slightly longer to finish filling out.

How Much Bigger Will My Weimaraner Puppy Get?

Weimaraners grow quickly during the first year:

• Most reach 50% of their adult weight by 4–5 months.
• By 6 months, they typically reach about 70% of their adult size.
• Full adult weight is usually achieved by 12–15 months, though muscle development and chest broadening may continue until 18 months.

Rule of thumb: To estimate your Weimaraner’s adult size, double their weight at 16 weeks. For example, a 40 lb puppy at 4 months may reach about 80 lbs as an adult.

Weimaraner Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a large-breed puppy food to support steady growth and reduce the risk of joint issues.
• Feeding schedule:
  • 8–12 weeks: 3–4 meals daily
  • 3–6 months: 3 meals daily
  • 6–12 months: 2 meals daily
• Transition to adult food at 12–15 months when growth slows.
  Avoid free-feeding, as Weimaraners are prone to overeating, which may lead to obesity and bloat.

Exercise

Weimaraners are high-energy dogs and need daily activity, but puppies require age-appropriate exercise.

• Young puppies: Short, frequent walks and gentle playtime.
• 6+ months: Gradually increase exercise with longer walks, basic training, and play.
• Avoid long-distance running or high-impact activities for at least 12–15 months to protect their joints.

Health Watch

Growth-related health considerations for Weimaraners include:

• Hip dysplasia – common in large breeds; monitor weight closely.
• Gastric torsion (bloat) – avoid vigorous activity immediately before or after meals.
• Obesity – ensure portion control and daily exercise.
