4. Which of the following is NOT something you need to consider if you are thinking of getting a Weimaraner as a pet?

Answer: The breed is typically aggressive and not good with children.

A well-trained Weimaraner can make a wonderful pet for the person who is willing to provide the dog with companion status and plenty of daily exercise. The typical Weimaraner is not aggressive and can be a good family pet.
5. More than half of the Weimaraner's brain is devoted to his sense of smell.

Answer: False

Approximately one-eighth of his brain, and over half of the Weimaraner's internal nose is utilized for the sense of smell.
6. Which of the following are common health problems in Weimaraners?

Answer: Stomach bloat and hip displasia

The chances of stomach bloat can be reduced by feeding Weimaraners two or three small meals a day instead of one larger meal. This keeps them from getting too hungry and eating too fast.
7. Weimaraners originally came to the United States from Austria.

Answer: False

The breed came to the United States from Germany. Howard Knight began trying to acquire Weimaraners from the Weimaraner Club of Germany in 1928. However, he was only allowed to purchase two neutered dogs. It wasn't until 1938 that the Club sent Knight four Weimaraner puppies that he could use for breeding purposes.
8. Which of the following was a major factor in the Weimaraner Club of Germany's decision to send Weimaraners to the United States?

Answer: The outbreak of World War II

The German club was worried about the safety of Weimaraners with the onset of the war. There was a fear that, if the kennels were bombed, the breed might die out. This, combined with Howard Knight's promise to keep the Weimaraner bloodline pure, encouraged Germany to export Weimaraners to the United States.
9. Which of the following was not an early use of the Weimaraner?

Answer: As a guard dog

Weimaraners, originally from Germany, served their masters as hunters and companions.
10. A common complaint among Weimaraner owners is that the dogs are often able to open various types of cabinets and help themselves to the food found there.

Answer: True

Weimaraners are considered to be fairly high in canine intelligence. Owners often resort to using child-proof locks on their cabinets to keep their dogs from eating all the food in the house!
