In February a TV crew came to our coursing to film us (Click here to read about the coursing), but at that time I didn't know what they were filming for. All I was told was that the crew came from Christchurch, so I thought they were filming for a local television there. But, it was actually for a popular animal programme on a county-wide channel.
At the time of filming, Cinnamon was not allowed to run, only a few of weeks after she had a mysterious sickness (My very first blog post was about it), so she stayed in a crate while we were there on the New Zealand Kennel Club Auckland Exhibition Centre Grounds that day.
The TV crew were interviewing some members of the club, but they didn't talk to us at all, so I thought we wouldn't appear on the screen. But, Cookie and I actually did! If you are in New Zealand, you can watch the programme online here (The Hound Racing Club appears in the latter half of the section 1).
You can only see us briefly several times. But, we can say that we were on the screen, can't we?
As many of you know, our blog friend Honey the Great Dane appeared on TV and showed dancing performance with her human in July (Click here to see her post about it). But, it was not the only TV appearance of our friends.
Our agility club mates Buffy the Miniature Schnauzer and her human (They were our partners in an agility relay competition in July) were also on TV a while ago! In the programme they were taught how to solve her separation anxiety. You can watch the programme here (I don't know whether you can view it from outside New Zealand or not. If you can't, you can read the full story here).
Are all our doggy friends appearing on TV in turn?

Woo hoo! Beagle celebrities. Pity we can't catch the programme here.
ReplyDeleteI don't really want to be on TV. I hear the camera adds twenty pounds. That would put me at 250.

If Marge was ever on TV, if she were able to understand the fact that millions of people could potentially see her.. I think it'd freak her out!
ReplyDeleteThat said, since she can't know, I wouldn't mind being on TV with her one day at a dog event or something, not that it'll ever happen.
Very cool that you guys made it to the television, even if just for a little bit. :) Too bad we can't watch it.
Hey Cookie & Cinnamon! My human found a way for you to show your Hound Racing video! She's sent an email to your human - please check tell her to check it!
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
