What is the difference between a blue Weimaraner and a regular one?
To make it short: practically nothing.
The commonly known Weimaraner is called gray, the blue Weimaraner is considered rare, and is quite controversial. However, the breed is the same, only the colors differ, the Weimaraner Club of America voted to disqualify the blue coat color in 1971.
But why? How did it all start?
The first blue Weimaraner, Tell was imported from Germany to the US in the late 1940’s. First, the German Weimaraner Club considered him as purebred, so the AKC accepted it too, but not long after, the GWC changed their point of view. Most of the papers have disappeared through the World War, and it is still controversial if Tell was crossbred, or simply a strongly dark-colored Weimaraner. They can take part in AKC events, but aren’t recognized as purebred Weimaraners.
