What comes naturally is retrieving, pointing and hunting. The Weimaraner breed was developed as a hunting breed. Weimaraners of the 19th century performed the tasks of guarding against poachers on the estates of Germany and hunted for such large animals as deer and boar. The Weimaraner is also used for fox hunting and bird hunting.

The Weimaraner's majestic look makes it a splendid show dog. A keen nose and a natural hunting instinct turn tracking into quite an easy sport for the Weim.

Serving as a search and rescue dog, the Weimaraner has an opportunity to display a wide range of his talents and natural skills. Weimaraners do well as therapy dogs, as well. They have a natural desire to be in close interaction with people. Weims tend to be patient and gentle with the old and disabled.

Obedience and agility trials are definitely the activities Weimaraners can do very well in. They are fast, athletic and energetic.

Weimaraners are excellent guard dogs. Naturally aloof with strangers, alert and intimidating, the Weimaraner will sound the alarm in case the intruder is around and will take further action if necessary.
