Say Hello to Athena
Weimaraner, 5 years old
Athena
was adopted!
My favourite thing about Athena is...
She is a proper Velcro dog and I feel very protected by her.
The biggest challenge with Athena is...
Nothing she is a good all rounder.
The most surprising thing about owning a Weimaraner is...
They are just what you expect and need in a gundog.
What I wish I’d known about Weimaraners is...
Nothing.
Did you know?
Often known as the Silver Ghost, the Weimaraner has, in his past, been used for a variety of hunting tasks and became an all-around gundog, although he was originally bred as a pointer. It is said that when hunting, this dog’s instinctive hunting method is to attack the prey’s genitals to bring it down. Interestingly the same instinct is seen in hyenas.
