Golden Retriever Versus Weimaraner: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Golden Retriever and for the Weimaraner. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Golden Retriever or the Weimaraner.
Golden Retriever versus Weimaraner: Overview
A very important difference between the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Golden Retriever is a medium-sized dog while the Weimaraner is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, both the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner are Sporting Dogs. This means both the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.
Golden Retriever versus Weimaraner: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Golden Retriever to the Weimaraner based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner
| Factor | Golden Retriever | Weimaraner |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerates Being Alone | 1/5 | 1/5 |

| Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests |
|
|
| Popularity out of 200 Dog Breeds | 3 | 35 |
| Intelligence Rank (out of 130 Dog Breeds) | 4 | 21 |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Golden Retriever in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Weimaraner. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Golden Retriever is 73 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Weimaraner is 67 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Golden Retriever is a better pet than the Weimaraner. So, you should get the Golden Retriever!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
The Most Remarkable Differences Between the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner
Below is a list of where the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner are most different:
The Similarities Between the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner
The Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner are very similar in certain aspects. Below is the list of where the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner are most similar:
Size (Weight and Height) of Golden Retriever versus Weimaraner
Now, let us discuss the difference in size between the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner.
Golden Retrievers weigh 55 to 75 pounds when fully grown. Golden Retrievers are 21 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown.
On the other hand, Weimaraners weigh 55 to 85 pounds when fully grown. Weimaraners are 23 to 27 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown.
Lifespan of Golden Retriever versus Weimaraner

Weimaraners live longer than Golden Retrievers.
Temperament of the Weimaraner Versus the Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever has a better temperament than the Weimaraner.
This is because the temperament score for the Golden Retriever is 85.6 percent while the temperament score for the Weimaraner is 80.8 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).
The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 85.6 percent, the Golden Retriever has an above-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 80.8 percent, the Weimaraner has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner by measuring the temperaments of 813 Golden Retrievers and 224 Weimaraners.
Price of Golden Retriever versus Price of Weimaraner
The average price of the Golden Retriever puppy is $1870. The price of the Golden Retriever typically ranges from $1500 – $2200. However, the price of a Golden Retriever can be as low as $100 and as high as $6500. We obtained this price information by reviewing the prices of 2668 Golden Retriever puppies listed for sale from various sources.

We obtained this price information by collecting and reviewing the prices of 114 Weimaraner puppies listed for sale from various sources.
The Golden Retriever is more expensive than the Weimaraner.
| Golden Retriever | Weimaraner | |
|---|---|---|
| Average Price | $1870 | $1080 |
| Price Range | $1500 to $2200 | $950 to $1250 |
The charts below show the price distribution for the Golden Retriever and Weimaraner. For different price points, the charts show how many Golden Retriever puppies or how many Weimaraner puppies are listed for sale at those price points.
A breakdown of the prices of Golden Retrievers. The typical price range is shaded Green.
A breakdown of the prices of Weimaraners?
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Golden Retriever puppy or the Weimaraner puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.
Adopting the Golden Retriever versus Adopting the Weimaraner
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Golden Retrievers and many Weimaraners are currently available for adoption.
These adorable and cute dogs are waiting in dog shelters hoping that someday someone will rescue them. Furthermore, adoption costs are lesser than the cost of a new puppy. Dog adoption costs are usually around $300. In addition to your local dog shelter, a good place online to see dogs that are available for adoption is petfinder.com.
Below is an adorable Male Golden Retriever named Rocky that is currently available for adoption on Petfinder.com. You can find other lovely adoptable Golden Retrievers like Rocky on pefinder.com.
Also, like Golden Retrievers, Weimaraners are also available for adoption. For example, Ash is a Male Weimaraner that is currently available for adoption on petfinder.com. You can find more Weimaraners like Ash that are up for adoption on petfinder.com.

The Intelligence of the Golden Retriever versus the Intelligence of the Weimaraner
| Golden Retriever | Weimaraner | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 4 out of 130 dog breeds | 21 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After Fewer Than 5 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 5 To 15 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Golden Retriever has an obedience intelligence rank of 4 out of 130 dog breeds. The Golden Retriever belongs to the `Brightest Dogs` category. This means that Golden Retrievers tend to learn new commands after fewer than 5 repetitions.
The Weimaraner has an obedience intelligence rank of 21 out of 130 dog breeds. The Weimaraner belongs to the `Excellent Working Dogs` category. This means that Weimaraners tend to learn new commands after 5 to 15 repetitions.
The Golden Retriever is more intelligent than the Weimaraner.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Golden Retriever versus Popularity of Weimaraner
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Golden Retriever is more popular with dog owners than the Weimaraner. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Golden Retriever is 3 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Weimaraner is 35 out of about 200 dog breeds.
Popularity of Golden Retriever
Popularity of Weimaraner

Health Problems of Golden Retriever versus Health Problems of Weimaraner
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Weimaraner is prone to more genetic health problems than the Golden Retriever.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Weimaraner than for the Golden Retriever.
4 health tests are recommended for Golden Retriever while 5 tests are recommended for the Weimaraner.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Golden Retrievers and in Weimaraners.
Golden Retriever Health Problems
Golden Retrievers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Golden Retriever puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Golden Retriever puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Golden Retriever breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Golden Retrievers for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Golden Retrievers here.
Weimaraner Health Problems
Weimaraners are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Weimaraner puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Weimaraner puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Weimaraner breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Weimaraners for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Golden Retrievers and Weimaraners
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Golden Retriever Breed is Ichthyosis problems.
This is because the Golden Retriever ranks 1 out of 1 dog breeds for Ichthyosis problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 1770 Golden Retrievers, 33 of them had Ichthyosis problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Golden Retrievers, and how common these diseases are in Golden Retrievers relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Weimaraner Breed is Dentition Database problems.
This is because the Weimaraner ranks 44 out of 49 dog breeds for Dentition Database problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 62 Weimaraners, 0 of them had Dentition Database problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Weimaraners, and how common these diseases are in Weimaraners relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Golden Retriever and in Weimaraner and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Golden Retriever and the Weimaraner:
| Disease | Golden Retriever Rank | Weimaraner Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Ichthyosis problems | 1 out of 1 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Shoulder problems | 11 out of 22 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Progressive Retinal Atrophy problems | 17 out of 32 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Thyroid problems | 33 out of 115 dog breeds | 62 out of 115 dog breeds |
| Elbow problems | 36 out of 144 dog breeds | 113 out of 144 dog breeds |
| Dentition Database problems | 39 out of 49 dog breeds | 44 out of 49 dog breeds |
| Advanced Cardiac problems | 40 out of 71 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Hips problems | 45 out of 198 dog breeds | 127 out of 198 dog breeds |
| Congenital Cardiac problems | 56 out of 159 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Degenerative Myelopathy problems | 56 out of 70 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Eyes problems | 58 out of 182 dog breeds | 125 out of 182 dog breeds |
| Patella problems | 112 out of 145 dog breeds | 80 out of 145 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
