Explore projects showcasing the talents of renowned dogs.

MONKEY

I’d like to introduce you to my dog, Monkey. He’s a Belgian Malinois and one of the most talented dogs I’ve ever worked with — and that’s saying a lot. Monkey started his career early in show business, landing roles in movies, TV shows, commercials, and even modeling gigs. He quickly became a standout with his intelligence, drive, and natural charisma. Over time, he became an internet sensation, gaining millions of fans around the world with his performances and videos.

But what truly sets Monkey apart is his artwork. Believe it or not, Monkey creates real acrylic paintings on canvas — abstract, colorful, and completely unique. I guide him using my hands and voice, but every brushstroke is his own. There’s no other dog in the world doing what Monkey does at this level. His paintings are not only beautiful — they’re authentic, and they carry the energy and spirit of a true artist.

Monkey’s journey has been nothing short of incredible, and now through our website, we’re able to share a piece of his art and story with the world.

LUCY

Now let me tell you about our girl Lucy. She’s a Labradoodle with a heart of gold and a resume that would make any actor jealous. Lucy knows just about every trick in the book — from the basics to the most advanced studio work. Her timing, expressions, and presence on set are truly something special.

Lucy has had a long and impressive career in show business. She’s starred in major movies like Night Bitch, Pups Alone, and The Aftermath. She’s also made her mark on TV with appearances in shows like Mayans, Pooch Perfect, and Unleashed. On top of that, she’s performed in countless national commercials and live shows. Honestly, there are too many to name — she’s been everywhere.

What makes Lucy special isn’t just her talent on camera, but her personality off it. She’s lovable, expressive, and always ready to work. Whether she’s making people laugh on set or wowing a crowd with her tricks, Lucy brings a spark that’s impossible to ignore.

Jumpy – The Greatest Dog Actor of All Time

Jumpy wasn’t just a great dog — he was, without a doubt, the best dog actor in history. And that’s not just my opinion — it’s what countless directors, both seasoned and new, have said time and time again. Jumpy could walk onto any movie or TV set and perform a scene flawlessly, with no rehearsal, no prep, and often no idea what was coming. He just knew how to read the moment and deliver.

He did it all — happy movies, sad movies, horror, drama, westerns — you name it. Jumpy performed in live shows, live TV, commercials, and dozens of TV shows and films. He knew every trick in the book and always brought something extra that you can’t train — true charisma.

Jumpy earned a Guinness World Record as the fastest skateboarding dog, and his most iconic film role was in In a Valley of Violence. But he really became a household name as Zippy, the main dog character in 74 episodes of Nickelodeon's Mutt & Stuff.

As incredible as he was on screen, Jumpy was even better off it — the most loyal, loving, and special friend anyone could ever ask for. He was one in a million, and I was lucky to call him mine.

Dash – The Fearless Jack Russell with a Star-Studded Career

Dash is a little dog with a big legacy. He first stepped into the spotlight as Uggie’s double in Water for Elephants and The Artist, and from that point on, his showbiz career skyrocketed. Dash quickly proved he wasn’t just a stand-in — he was a star in his own right.

Since then, he’s done it all: feature films, nonstop commercials, TV shows, and more. One of his biggest roles was playing Rocket, the lovable main dog character in 74 episodes of the Nickelodeon kids’ series Mutt & Stuff. His energy, focus, and versatility made him a favorite on every set.

But Dash isn’t just an actor — he’s an athlete too. He’s known for his incredible skateboarding skills and his ability to surf on water like a pro. Fast, fearless, and full of personality, Dash has been one of the most well-rounded and fun dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.

Popeye – The Gentle Giant with a Big Heart

Popeye was our incredible American Bulldog — powerful in appearance, but truly the sweetest soul you could ever meet. Because of his strong, tough look, he started his showbiz career playing the “bad guy,” often cast in intense attack roles. But anyone who met Popeye knew the truth: he was all love.

That lovable nature landed him the perfect role as “Cuddles” on the Nickelodeon series Mutt and Stuff, where he absolutely shone. Instead of growling or barking, he spent most of his time licking everyone’s faces and melting hearts on set. And behind the scenes, he was just as special — a gentle, playful big brother to our kids and a loyal part of the family.

Beyond his charm, Popeye had serious skills. He knew a wide range of tricks and behaviors and was hands down the best skateboarding American Bulldog we’ve ever seen. He brought power and grace together in a way that was unforgettable.

We miss him dearly, every single day. Popeye wasn’t just a great actor — he was family.

Uggie – The Legend Who Changed Everything

Uggie wasn’t just a dog — he was a global icon, a Hollywood star, and a beloved member of our family. He started his journey as a street performer on the Santa Monica Promenade, but his talent, charisma, and heart quickly launched him into worldwide stardom.

Uggie made history as the first dog to walk the stage at the Academy Awards, receiving the Best Picture Oscar for The Artist. That role earned him international recognition and made him the most celebrated canine actor of his time. He also received the Cannes Palm Dog Award, and many still call him the greatest winner ever. Uggie became the first dog to cement his paw prints at the legendary Chinese Theater in Hollywood — a true honor in film history.

His résumé spans across Golden Globe-winning films, including The Artist and Water for Elephants, and includes countless commercials, red carpet events, and global appearances. He was invited to some of the most prestigious events, including a Presidential Dinner and Betty White’s celebration, where he charmed everyone in the room.

Uggie even had his own personal float in the Rose Bowl Parade and the Hollywood Christmas Parade, riding in style while fans cheered him on from the sidewalks and television screens.

He was kissed by movie stars, celebrated by audiences everywhere, and loved by millions. But to us, he was so much more than all of that. Uggie was family.

What we miss the most isn't the lights, the awards, or the fame — it’s the sound of his peaceful snores as he slept in our bed. He was a legend, a pioneer, and the sweetest soul we’ve ever known.

Forever in our hearts.
