Do you have any comments on their temperment, upkeep, barker, etc? I've read they're much more docile and laid back than GSP.

I've never been around a GSP for an extended amount of time so I can't really comment on the differences but from what I've been told, the GWP is a little more laid back and the differences basically stop at the appearance. As far as my pup goes, he's not really hyper, just adventurous and likes to nose around a lot. He's in his kennel for most of the day so he's got a lot of energy when I get home and let him run around in the evenings. He doesn't chew anything and rarely barks unless he gets really worked up by our female lab at the house when they play. Upkeep is pretty nonexistent as I have probably bathed him 4 or 5 times since I got him in January. Really an awesome dog with a ton of drive for anything fur and feather and listens pretty well for his age. Also, this dude would probably die of fetching before he gave it up. He's relentless in his pursuit and sometimes stubborn, but he's a male and that's what I wanted out of him. Can't wait to get him started on training for the various hunt tests that the VDD will put him through. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.
