When does a Weimaraner stop growing?

A typical adult Weimaraner (70 lb, average activity) needs roughly 1498 kcal/day — about 0.9 lb (3.5 cups) of dry kibble per day, which works out to around $53/month at typical kibble prices. Fresh or subscription-style food usually costs more, around $599/month for the same dog. These are population-level estimates — use the calculator below for a number based on your dog's actual weight and food type, or see the Weimaraner feeding chart for puppy amounts by month.

Larger breeds carry more weight on developing joints. Many owners start a glucosamine/chondroitin or omega-3 supplement during the growth phase rather than waiting for stiffness to appear.

When does a Weimaraner stop growing?
As a large breed, Weimaraners typically reach adult weight by 12-18 months. Height typically levels off a bit before this; larger breeds like this one keep adding muscle and body mass for months after they stop getting taller.
Is a Weimaraner a good first dog?
The Weimaraner is usually better suited to an owner with some prior dog experience. That doesn't rule out a well-prepared first-time owner, but the breed's needs are less forgiving of a learn-as-you-go approach.
How much exercise does a Weimaraner need?
A lot. The Weimaraner needs serious daily exercise — 60-90+ minutes, ideally with a job to do (training, fetch, hiking) rather than just a walk. An under-exercised Weimaraner is a common source of destructive or restless behavior.
Is a Weimaraner good with kids?
Can do fine with kids, particularly older or calmer ones, but it's more situational than a clear yes — a lot depends on the individual dog's temperament and how it was raised.
How much grooming does a Weimaraner need?
About as wash-and-go as it gets. The Weimaraner needs minimal brushing and rarely requires professional grooming.
