believed
to have

bred
by members
of a
club

Weimaraner
Club,
which
imposed
rigid
breeding
standards.The
breed
was
imported
into
the
United

in 1929
and
has
steadily
become
more
popular.
The
dog runs
with great
speed, having
been known
to exceed 61
km/h (38 mph);
thus, with
the Whippet,
it is one
of the fastest
of domesticated animals.

the
Weimaraner
was
used
for

later
for
hunting
birds.
