What are Blue Weimaraners?
The blue coat color of the Weimaraner is similar to the blue/black coat of the Great Dane. The color is traceable to one imported German dog bred under controversial circumstances. Blue is a disqualifying fault in the official AKC standard. Blue Weimaraners cannot be shown. They are NOT considered “rare”. Some believe the blue coloring is a result of a genetic mutation caused by severe inbreeding. Other’s believe it was the result of mixed breeding between an Doberman and a Weimaraner. It is a common belief that a blue Weimaraner is prone to health & temperment issues due to severe inbreeding.
