Weimaraners are often compared to perpetual two-year-olds, full of endless energy and always craving attention.
Their lively and affectionate nature makes them quite the handful, but itโs also what endears them to so many people.
For anyone whoโs had the pleasure of living with a Weimaraner, itโs clear that their boundless enthusiasm is both a challenge and a joy.
Gus, a rescued Weimaraner, is a prime example of this breedโs characteristic traits.
With his expressive eyes and undeniable charm, Gus knows exactly how to get what he wants from his owners.
His persistence in seeking attention is both adorable and impressive, showcasing the breedโs well-known people-centric personality.
According to the Weimaraner Club of America, one key trait that all Weimaraners share is their deep love for people.
They note,
โItโs hard to generalize about the Weimaraner personality, but a core trait, that runs in the veins of all of them, is that they are people-centric. They love the company of humans to the point that they will follow you around your house like a second shadow. Weimaraners are always underfoot, curious, wanting to be involved in your activities.โ
This love for companionship is precisely what makes them such devoted pets.
One day, Gusโs owner decided to test just how far Gus would go to get some attention by pretending to ignore him.
As soon as the game began, it was clear that Gus wasnโt pleased with this new development.
Standing on his hind legs with his front paws resting on his ownerโs lap, Gus made his presence known, waiting for the attention he believed was rightfully his.
Every now and then, Gusโs owner would glance in his direction, which only seemed to increase Gusโs determination.
He tried everythingโplacing a paw on his ownerโs shoulder, maintaining eye contact, and more.
But despite his best efforts, all he received were fleeting looks with no petting or interaction.
Gus was undeterred, however, as he continued his attempts to engage his owner.
In a surprising twist, Gus decided to change his tactics.
Instead of demanding attention, he chose to ignore his owner back, though he remained close by, showing that he was still very much invested in the outcome of this game.
This new strategy highlighted Gusโs cleverness and adaptability, traits that are common in Weimaraners.
However, this mutual ignoring didnโt last long.
Gus, being the attention-loving dog that he is, couldnโt resist the urge to break the silence.
His tail wagged excitedly throughout the entire exchange, a clear sign that he was far from genuinely ignoring his owner.
It was only a matter of time before Gus made another move to capture his dadโs attention.
When all else failed, Gus resorted to barking, a tactic that briefly caught his ownerโs attention.
But when even this didnโt work, Gus decided his dad wasnโt worth his time anymore.
Despite his ownerโs attempts to win him back, Gus turned his focus to his human mom, who was behind the camera, offering him a new opportunity for the affection he craved.
Gus was determined to get the affection he craved from his mom.
His interest was piqued when she started whispering to him, asking, โDo you want food? Are you hungry? What do you want? Go get your dish.โ
The mere mention of food was enough to catch Gusโs attention.
Without much hesitation, Gus likely scampered off to get his dish, ready for a well-deserved meal.
