They are very much people dogs, and Shiloh is my shadow, wherever I go, he goes. Sometimes it gets ridiculous, but I know he just thinks I'm his mother! Very often I'll have to tell him "stay here, I'm just getting a drink of water, you don't have to come too." Sometimes he'll listen, other time he tags along anyway.
They don't shed much, at least our two haven't. And we've never had a problem with ticks or fleas either. Probably due to their short fur.
They're so good with children. Our first Weim we had before our kids we born. We were a bit concerned how he'd react when we brought the new baby home, but he did fine and loved him as if he were his own!
They are a highly intelligent breed. I know everyone probably thinks this of their dog, but Weims really are a notch above the rest, IMHO. They are known for being able to get out of crates, gated yards, etc. They are called the "houdini dog" for a reason! Both of our Weims did not like being confined, and would scratch and tear his way out of someplace, or even trying to get into someplace.
Other than being a great family pet, they are very protective too, I guess like most dogs are of their families and homes. Nothing unusual there I suppose.
I always tell people that are pondering a Weim that if they are looking for a dog that will sit happily curled up in the corner with very little to no interraction from their owners, this is NOT the breed for you. They want and love to be included in everything and you'll feel their wrath if you don't!
He also has to be in the middle of whatever is going on. He never goes off into a room alone - always has to be by one of us. 
A weim sounds like just the breed for us
