Weim-Pei

Weim-Pei History

The Weim-Pei is a fairly new hybrid or designer mix between a Weimaraner and a Pekingese. The Weim-Pei is relatively new, having been developed in the 1990s, but its origin dates back to the 1940s. In 1944, a brown and white female poodle was owned by a Hungarian named Gyula Loy. Loy was a well-known artist, composer, and teacher, and was also vice-president of the Hungarian Kennel Club. At the time, Loy was taking lessons with a famous American decorator named Elsie de Wolfe, who had a passion for the Pekingese. When Loy purchased his poodle, it was with the intention of breeding for a smaller version of the Pekingese. The two animals mated, and six puppies were born. Three of them were solid white, while three were black and white. After observing the pups closely, Elsie suggested that the two black dogs should be crossed with the white dogs, and that the resulting offspring should be bred with this in mind. After several years, several litters of Weim-Pei puppies were produced, and these litters were carefully studied. By the time the last litter was born in 1948, the dogs were well-established as a distinct breed.

Weim-Pei Activity Requirements

Weimaraners are a high-energy, intelligent breed of dog. They are known to be extremely loyal, and they love being around their people. They are also very athletic, making them a great match for an active family. Weimaraners do best in a home with an active owner who can give them the exercise and attention they require. They are happiest when they are out and about, so they need regular training and activities. A daily walk or jog, plus some outdoor games, will keep your Weimaraner happy. A Weimaraner is best suited to an active family or someone who enjoys spending time outside. They are a good choice for families who live in an apartment, as long as they get adequate physical and mental stimulation. If you are thinking about adopting a Weimaraner, be sure that you are prepared for the energy this active, intelligent dog requires.
