The Weimaraner[a] is a German breed of hunting dog of medium to large size, with history going back at least to the nineteenth century.[3]

It originated in the area of the city of Weimar (then in Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, now in the state of Thuringia), for which it is named.[4] It was recognised as a breed in 1891. It is an all-purpose gun dog, characterised by its speed and stamina, its good nose and eye, and its courage and intelligence;[5] in Germany it is not considered suitable for keeping as a companion dog.[4]
