From what I've read the GSP and Weimeraner were originally breed from V's which is why they look similar, but I think that's were the similarity ends I have a friend who has 3 GSP and they are very friendly and hyper like V's but more head strong and independent, they don't have to be next to you 24/7 like V's.
When I was looking into buying our pup it was going to be between a V and a Weimer' we were advised by our breeder (who bred both breeds) that the V was the better choice for us (we have 2 young boys) because when Weimer's get to about 18mths they can become very possessive so although they would be great with our kids they wouldn't tolerate their friends. So on that advise we chose a V ( the BEST decision ever)
Since we've been out and about I've spoken to quite a few other dog owners who have had Weimer's before and they have all confirmed what we were told that for no real reason around 18mths 2yrs there dog/bitch changed some sadly had to re-homed or muzzled. I realise that alot depends on breeding and handling but it does seem to a common problem. V's every time!!
