I always thought they were the same breed, but simply "papered" differently.. Anybody care to elaborate on the differences?


The difference is unregulated vs regulated breeding.

The GWP has no testing requirement for the breeding stock sick wink

To be a breeding dog in the VDD you have to pass to performance/ability tests, hardness test, coat and conformation test, and be certified hip dysplasia free by the folks in Germany. So you have the proven and the best breeding.
