Peggy's filmwork debut.



I have been absolutely bursting to share this but wasn't allowed to until now.

A few weeks ago Peggy and I travelled all the way to Edinburgh (which is over 500 miles away!) where we took part in an advert for Sainsbury's bank 150th birthday.

The shoot actually took place on Peggy's first birthday, but I hadn't realised that until I got there!

Although Peggy shares the same wonderful temprament as her Mother, I knew that it would be a big ask for a such a young puppy to work with so many distractions.
When we arrived and saw the set, complete with a camera on a train rig, as well as the sheer volume of people present I must admit, I did worry a tad.
I needn't have however, because Peggy - or Marilyn as she was known for the purposes of the production; did everything that was asked of her and was a little superstar - taking everything in her stride. I can only put this down to her regular exposure to crowds and noises at dog shows. My dogs generally live a very quiet life here with me, so it always suprises me how great they are in new situations.

Peggy is very much an active young dog but is incredibly eager to please and like most poodles will do anything for food!
For the scene with the 'Pawsecco' she did not want to drink (I don't think she liked the smell of it) and the production company were desparate for the shot, so we added a few of her favourite treats to the bottle to encourage her interest.

Here is the video below:



We'd like to say a huge thank you to Greenroomfilms for accomodating us; we really did have a fantastic time on set and hope that you are as thrilled with the final cut as we are!
