Send Us Your #FormFollowsFunction Photos!

All dog breeds were bred to perform a specific purpose. We want to see our readers’ dogs doing the work they were bred to do to be shared on The Canine Chronicle!

Thank you Linda Hartheimer for sharing this Form Follows Function photo of your Weimaraner, “BeeGee” (GCH Grayhart’s You Should be Dancing BN RN JH CGC TKN NSD), doing what she was bred to do! BeeGee is currently training in Agility as well as for her Senior Hunter title. She was recently awarded Select & NOHS Best Of Breed at the 2025 Weimaraner Club Of America National Specialty and is 9 points away from her Bronze Grand Championship title. What a versatile girl!

According to the American Kennel Club, “The key figure of the Weimaraner’s early history was Germany’s Grand Duke Karl August, who held court in the town of Weimar. The duke, like so many European nobles of the age, was an avid sportsman. His dream was to develop the perfect hunting dog. The duke and his fellow noblemen at first used these unique-looking dogs as big-game hunters, in pursuit like bear, mountain lion, and wolves. As Europe’s population of these predators decreased, the Weimaraner found new work as an all-purpose hunter who points and retrieves gamebirds.”

Was your dog bred to hunt? Bred to herd cattle? Was he bred to rescue or guard? Was he bred to hunt rats? Please share your best Form Follows Function photos with us! We want to see them! Email Gia at Gia.Garofalo@caninechronicle.com with your photos!
