I have two Weimaraners who weigh a total 12 stone (168 pounds)...
There is indeed a distinct resemblance between Weimaraners and Great Danes (size aside), especially with Danes who happen to be solid grey, and whose ears are left natural. Some Weimaraner authorities say that Weims are related to Great Danes, in addition to the more obvious German Shorthair Pointer, Vizsla, and Doberman kinships. Great Danes are not Danish, as the name seems to imply, but German.
Weimaraners, like George, they have an affinity for sofas.
