I have never been around a Griffon but have been around GWP, GSP and English pointer, also extensively around brittany spaniels. I would argue that a dog being "high strung" is more dependent on the particular breeding the pup came from and the goals the particular breeder are striving to accomplish.
Do yourself a favor and visit the breeder of whatever dog you decide to get, and look at the parents and ask for references. It may cost some time and money but you will thank yourself when you avoid a crazy animal that so many people end up with when they don't do their homework

Griffons are way, way more relaxed than the typical pointing breeds in general. I do agree that it depends on breeder/line, though. I mean, a lab bred and trained for field trials acts quite a bit different than my lazy fatass lab who is from good lines but could lay around all day until we get near a body of water.
AS to a griffon in a blind: same thing. They're nothing like other pointing breeds (especially not GSPs) as far as that goes. They like to chill out next to their owner from what I've seen. Like I said earlier, they're used a lot in really rugged terrain for upland game because they like to work close to their owner instead of ranging far afield.
