A Weimaraner Keeps Her Cool Beside a Tempting Gingerbread House

AI imageweimaranergingerbread housekitchen

The silver-grey Weimaraner sits as straight as a statue, her amber eyes aimed at something off to the side while a decorated gingerbread house rests on the wooden table beside her. The roof is covered in white icing and red and green candies, and the table holds a damp towel and a few leftover pine sprigs. A lamp glows in the kitchen behind her, and her smooth coat looks almost metallic in the light.

Weimaraners are athletic, intelligent dogs with a famous silvery coat and light eyes. They were bred as hunting dogs, so they have high energy and a strong urge to follow their noses. They need plenty of exercise and attention, and bored Weimaraners may help themselves to whatever is on the counter. A gingerbread house is full of sugar and candy that dogs shouldn't have, and some icing or candy can contain xylitol. Keep it high on a shelf. A training game or a chew can give a Weimaraner something better to do.

Let's call her Ghost. She sits there with great self-control, though her nose is probably working at top speed. The gingerbread house survives the holiday intact, and she'll get a dog-safe treat for being so well-behaved. Good manners around such tempting treats are worth celebrating, and a gentle pat is a great way to say thank you for such calm, polite behavior at the table.
