Bred to work in the fields all day, the Weim's energy level is high and consistent. Highly driven and forceful whether playing or working, Weims are not recommended for families with either small children or elderly people. They would not deliberately hurt anyone, but the dog's exuberance could result in injurious accidents. Older, considerate children, trained to treat a dog with respect, and supervised to make sure they do, could find the Weim a loving companion.
