Weimaraners are great water dogs as evidenced by their webbed paws. This breed's short coat and unusual eyes give it a distinctive regal appearance. The coat is extremely low-maintenance, short, hard, and smooth to the touch, and may range from charcoal-blue to mouse-grey to silver-grey or even blue-grey. While their coat is short, this breed does shed. The Weimaraner's coat color led to its nickname of 'the Grey Ghost'.
