Did you know that there are a number of celebrities that also have a soft spot for the gray ghost? Grace Kelly, Dwight D. Eisenhower*, Dick Clark, Brad Pitt, Esai Morales, and Trent Reznor, just to name a few.

Weimaraner's have also been featured in movies and on tv including: Best in Show (Beatrice); Maid in Manhattan (Rufus); Seven; Fever Pitch; Sesame Street; Honda Odyssey Commercials; and Cymbalta Commercials.
* Fun fact: The "I Like Ike" slogan helped secure Dwight D. Eisenhower's place as the 34th president of the United States, and while his dog Heidi was also definitely among his supporters, Heidi felt quite the opposite about Ike's wife Mamie. The feisty Weimaraner would jump on Mrs. Eisenhower anytime she approached the president, and went on to demonstrate its disregard by "decorating" a diplomatic reception room rug worth $20,000. Mamie and the housekeeping staff spent the entire night trying to get the stain out to no avail, so both the rug and the dog were banished – one permanently, and the other until it learned how to mind its manners.
