I am sooooo excited.  I found out today that my youngest GSP, Halo, has been picked to be the cover girl on the new all natural dog food that Whole Foods is introducing.  Her picture (below) is going to be used on their bags of dog food.  The food should be out sometime before the end of the year, and will be carried in all the Whole Food stores. I can't wait to go to Whole Foods and see her on the shelf.

That is wonderful!!!! WOW how cool. I am sure you are very proud. It's good for us to, we can say we know a famous dog LOL

Congratulations - she is BEAUTIFUL!

Congratulations to Avery.  I just got that issue about a week ago and really enjoyed the article and all the pictures of the different GSPs.  She is a beautiful dog.

I just got the Dogfancy issue with Avery on the cover. Beautiful dog. I feel so proud seeing our breed on the covers. There was an issue of Gundog magazine last year that featured GSP's too. Lots and lots of them in that one!

Gail that is wonderful!! I get DogFancy every month and when I seen the cover I thought that was cool it was a GSP and read threw it.  Since it was a GSP I kept the magazine around a little longer. Congrats to Avery very nice cover picture!!

In Halo's case it was just coincidental. I had had a photographer take pictures of both my GSPs earlier this summer for my own personal use.  Whole Foods contacted the photographer and she let them look through her photos.  They picked Halo out of literally hundreds of pictures.  The photographer then contacted me and asked if they could use her.  I had to sign a models release as well. 

Even more interesting is my other GSP, Belle, just finished shooting a TV commercial.  Again it was coincidence as the lady that was producing the commercial new I trained dogs and called to see if I could help.  Belle had to walk across a room and lay down in a specific spot.  Drop on recall came in handy and she was perfect on the first three takes.  Now we wait to see if they use her. 

So, my furry kids have careers as models and TV stars.  Belle even got paid for her work.  Halo's was gratis.

The commercial is for National American University which is opening a branch in Austin, TX.  Right now the commericial is only supposed to run in the Austin market.  If it does well they may run it in some of their other markets (not sure where).  This also assumes they will actually use the footage they shot of Belle.  She could end up on the cutting room floor if the director decides to go a different way.   I won't know until we see the final commercial.  I really hope they use her.  They are supposed to give me a copy of the commercial and maybe I will be able to post it on YouTube.
