This hybrid dog is very easy to train and take care of, as it needs a simple diet of dry dog food, three times a day.
The dog is capable of feeling separation anxiety and needs a lot of exercise due to its high energy. Since it is a domestic dog breed, its conservation status is not listed by the IUCN.

For a Weimardoodle to stay in shape, it must be given plenty of opportunities to exercise. This helps the dog stay happy and healthy.
