And so I've heard. A neighbor told me he had a Weimeraner that was "college educated", definitely too smart for it's own good.

My sister also took one of the male pups. She named hers RUSH LIMBARK.

Weimaraners run in my family; parents and siblings have had 12 of them since the '60s. Some say it's a congenital defect (us, not the dogs). They can definitely be a handful, but always in an exuberant way. Absolutely great with kids.

My current Weim, just over a year old, also has a name with a conservative origin: Atlas, as in Atlas Shrugged. The breed was not imported into the US until 1946, but quickly gained a small but intensely loyal following. GOP credentials: Dwight Eisenhower had one (Heidi) at the White House, and another one was in a movie with Ronald Reagan (sorry, I don't know which one).

Next time you see Rush Limbark, pass along greetings from Atlas.
