Due to its development as a hunting dog intended to chase big game like deer, wolves, and boars, it’s no wonder that the Weimaraner is built for speed.
These energetic dogs can attain speeds of up to 35 mph. Only a few other breeds can outpace them.
A Rhode Island hunter named Howard Knight was the first to import Weimaraners to the United States from Germany in 1929, but the breed didn’t catch on stateside until World War II.
