Shiloh Nevada Last updated: 18th October 2022The Weimardoodle is a cross between the Poodle and the Weimaraner. However, apart from this first generation cross, producing a backcross is also possible by crossing the purebred poodle or the Weimaraner with a Weimardoodle. These typically friendly dogs often vary in size, depending upon the size of its poodle parent in the sense that, a small-size poodle would produce a small weimardoodle, and a standard-size, larger.
The weimardoodle might either inherit the curly coat of the Poodle, or the coarse, short coat of the weimaraner. They are hardy dogs with a sturdy, muscular structure. Their elongated faces, adorned with long, hanging ears, round eyes and a dark muzzle render an intelligent expression.

Temperament and Behavior
These dogs are marked by affection and intelligence, which is often revealed in the faces and demeanor. They love children and are good with them and all other pets in the family, including dogs. However, their love and affection might reach to such an extent that they might fall jealous if new pets or children are introduced to its family. At this time, it is always advisable to give them some extra attention.
They are usually reserved when strangers are around, and would even alert their families if they come across strange noises or suspicious activities. They are good for apartment life, although, large-sized weimardoodles are not advisable for families with small children in order to avoid possible accidents because of their high energy levels.
Because of their family-oriented nature, they do not enjoy solitude, and hence, should not be left alone for long periods of time, which might frequently lead to separation anxiety. Also, too much loneliness might indulge them into destructive or disruptive behavior.
Care
Exercise
In order to keep their energy at bay, these canines need some robust amount of exercise every day. Take them out on a leash at least once every day for a walk or jog. Larger weimardoodles need longer walks, smallers short. However, the shorties can even meet their daily needs through a couple of vigorous play sessions at home. The larger dogs need to go out to play.
Grooming
Grooming your weimardoodle mostly depends on coat type. Longer coats need frequent brushing, or at least thrice a week. But do consult a professional, if you would like to trim its hair. Bathing your dog should be done only when you find them dirty. You should also take their ear health seriously, since dogs with long hanging ears are more vulnerable to ear infections. Clean up their ears frequently, and cut their nails when they grow too long to hurt themselves or others.
Health Problems
Like most other cross breeds, the weimardoodle is much less prone to developing diseases, except for general dog diseases or those that are carried forward genetically. Some of these might include: bloating, hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), Von Willebrand’s disease, etc. Get them vet-checked regularly.
Training
Because your dog is already brilliant and clever, you wouldn’t need much effort to educate it up. But do begin socializing your puppy since childhood, right from the time you bring it home from your breeder.
Early socialization would effectively keep future issues at bay. Socialize them with your neighbors, pets, children, etc. Let them also perceive who the real leader of its ‘pack’ is. However, a positive reinforcement-based approach is recommended.
Diet/Feeding
Considering the size of your dog, provide them with the same amount of daily diet as the other dogs of their size need. But insist of high-energy, good quality dog foods that would provide them with the respective amount of nutrition they need to meet their zealous and enthusiastic lifestyle.
Disgusting… this is not right this is shameful and all about money. The Weimaraner is an exceptional breed & crossing with a poodle totally degrades the breed the behaviour and the intelligence of the Weimaraner…I as a Weimaraner owner I am utterly appalled by this money-making exercise ????????????
I am curious about your Weimaraner-Standard Poodle mixes. I have a 7-year old Weimaraner-Standard Poodle mix. She looks more Weimaraner-like than the other siblings from her litter. My vet keeps telling me she needs to loose weight but reading about your dogs she is in the same weight range as yours. She runs and plays with my 2 younger male Standard Poodles. Do you have any recommendations on ideal weight for a mix like her?
