A Silver Weimaraner General Meets the Viewer With Amber Eyes
Pale amber eyes and long silvery ears give a Weimaraner general a calm, steady look. His navy coat is covered in elaborate gold embroidery, heavy gold epaulettes sit on both shoulders, and a cluster of medals and a star gleam on his chest. A little gray fur trim shows at the collar, and the wall behind him is a deep red damask pattern that makes his silvery coat glow like moonlight on metal.
Weimaraners are athletic, intelligent dogs bred for hunting, and they often have a lot of stamina and a strong desire to be with their people. They need daily vigorous exercise, training and plenty of company, and many do not enjoy being left alone for long. Their sleek gray coat is easy to care for, though they can be prone to bloat, so ask your vet about feeding and care for deep-chested dogs.
The gray coat is a gift to a portrait painter. Against the red wall and blue coat, the Weimaraner's fur has a soft shine, and the amber eyes stand out like two small lanterns. The embroidery looks heavy and precise, as though every leaf and flower had been stitched by hand. A general should look composed under pressure, and this dog has the poised stare and quiet confidence of one who has seen it all.
If medals were earned for patience and good manners, this one would have the most.
