There are two kids in the house, we have all been around dogs before we were a day old and have been taught from then to command the respect and obedience of dogs and respect the dogs in turn, however the youngest has yet to learn respect for the dogs boundaries. all the databases said they are energetic if they don't receive exercise, but what dog isn't? Anyways, we looked at what dogs had the characteristics we were looking for and found weimaraners, my mom really likes them and she'd spent time around them so she knew they were a good breed, that's why we want a weimaraner. However, if anyone has a good breed that fits what we want in a dog I'd love to know.
I have yet to meet a young Weimaraner that was calm or gentle, and they don't tend to be the most intelligent breed, either. Try checking out Viszlas. They are a little smaller, but still a good-sized dog, and very loyal to their family.
