FOR THE FUN OF IT

Dogs 101 - GWP Segment By Richard Hirneisen

On April 26 several wirehair owners, including a contingent from the FDGWPC, attended the 1st anniversary party of the Ugly Dog Distillery, in Chelsea, Michigan. Ugly Dog makes only one product, Ugly Dog Vodka. An Animal Planet crew was on hand to tape the celebration for an upcoming segment about GWPs for their popular series, “Dogs 101.” Though we all drank a toast to the distillery’s owners, it was really just water in those cups. Our GWPs stayed sober throughout the entire celebration. For those who haven’t seen “Dogs 101,” each show consists of five brief segments, each on a different breed, highlighting the history of the breed, temperament, etc. It seems to be aimed at people who might be looking to buy a dog, and dog lovers in general. We encouraged them to depict our great dogs in field situations, but were not successful. They did film a field sequence somewhere; however, we weren’t asked to participate. We don’t have the air date for the GWP segment yet, but we‘ll let you know as soon as we do.

“Dogs 101”producer interviews FDGWPC members Pam Doyle and Trish Hirneisen, with Millie and Georgie, who couldn’t care less.

FDGWPC member Mike Braddock and his wire, Cash, get the TV star treatment.

Hey Doggy – this is a GWP segment!!! Beat it!! 50
