I have a kennels myself and have had a good bit of experience with Weimaraner's and would not recommend them esp if you have young kids, they usually come in two types, either dominant or nervous which make them difficult to handle. Lots of better breeds out there.

I to have one a male. And he is top dog here has no time for play with any of my other dog's. And if any of my pup's get's to cloce he will snap. so i'd keep him away from my little boy. Is it a pointing breed pup your after.

I have dog and bitch weim aswell as male doberman and my goddaughter(8) and her younger brother(5) are over most w ends and are wired to the moon and they get on grand. I would never leave them unsupervised with any dog, doesnt matter what breed. My wife is expecting our first at the minute and all going well as child grows it will have interaction with the dogs.
The one thing id say about the weims is they are very affectionate dogs but I dont think they would tolerate too much poking by a young toddler. Im not saying they would snap prob just go out of there way to avoid child as they are a very intelligent dog.
Even with lots of exercise (and I mean lots) the weims are bursting with energy so Id be more concerned about them knocking over child when they are running round.
I hope im not painting a bad picture of the breed, as I write this the dog is asleep on couch with his head on my lap and the bitch and Dobe are curled up infront of fire. If I were getting one id get a bitch as they are that bit more relaxed than the dogs and if you put in the training they will work all day for you

The dog is nearly 4 and the bitch is 15 months. Shes working well on blood trails so hope to have her out come sept for deer. The dog is a dinger for pheasants but very headstrong. I didnt get out much last season due to work so found he was working too far ahead when on a scent but so recall long line training got him back right again. Good luck with pup hope work out well for you. They are a fantastic dog and do well in most dog shows too
