Media work

We get asked for and do work with film companies and the media and we have corgis who have gone out purposefully to be trained to do a role. We are available for people looking for that special dog.

Working in Show Dogs

Filmed in Cardiff at the Cardiff City Football Club. People were asked to bring their dogs and be a background for the film giving it credence. I took two dogs, Rosie and Merlyn and its Merlyn that can be seen being constantly groomed. Whilst he was on site he would be at the canteen where there was a table of goodies and he would just gently lift his body on his back legs so he was at table height. Such a character. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691024/

Griff Rhys Jones comfortable with four

We were asked if we would help out with a TV series where Griff had to walk a Pembroke Corgi. He did and Merlyn at just six months made Griff look rather, well shall we say “wanting”. Perhaps thats what Griff wanted. The filming really shows the quality and intelligence of our dogs. Corgis pictured left to right are Porscha, Michael, Merlyn and Angel.

From Modern TV A GREAT WELSH ADVENTURE WITH GRIFF RHYS JONES Monday 20th January 2014 on ITV Pictured: Griff Rhys Jones discovers, walking Merlyn, a young show corgi is no easy matterÉ Waking up in a Tipi in the ÒWild West of WalesÓ – Griff discovers his challenge is to walk a Pembrokeshire corgi! In a forgotten garage housing a dozen or more rusting Morris Minors, Griff canÕt believe his luck when he spies a pet corgi! But this one has never worn a collar, let alone accompanied anyone on a walk – so itÕs onwards and upwards. On his way along the sublime Pembrokeshire coast Griff visits Melin Tregwynt textile mill. Flemish weavers were rumoured to have introduced the corgi to Wales back in the Middle Ages – but there are none to be seen now! Encounters with dung beetles (the strongest creatures on the planet) and a lift with a vet bring Griff to the biggest corgi breeder in Pembrokeshire – but as he discovers, walking Merlyn, a young show corgi is no easy matterÉ © Modern TV For further information please contact Peter Gray 0207 157 3046 peter.gray@itv.com This photograph is © Modern TV and can only be reproduced for editorial purposes directly in connection with the programme A Great Welsh Adventure with Griff Rhys Jones or ITV.
