My two former standard-sized Australian Shepherds, Cheyenne and Tyler were featured in the movie "Black Point" starring David Caruso, Susan Haskell, Thomas Ian Griffith and Eileen Pedde. The dogs' small role included barking at a vehicle, running with Caruso into the cabin, following the actors towards the bedroom and then lying down as the door was slammed.  Tyler a.k.a. "Riley" also had to "play dead" when she was shot.  One of the actors said they were the best behaved dogs he had ever worked with on a set, and an additional short scene was added to include more of the dogs. The four days of filming were very long with not much sleep as the filming was done at night and we had to remain on site until the dogs were needed for their parts.  It was a very crowded set with over 150 people including the crew, make-up artists, stand ins, extras, etc. but the dogs were on their best behaviour and made lots of new friends.  Most of the actors and crew loved dogs and Cheyenne was continually dropping for belly rubs.

Director David Mackay (on far right) shared his beef jerky with the dogs.

I walk and train dogs for a living.  Our dogs are all used to going for off leash walks
with other dogs.  It's a great way to get exercise and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

Victoria doesn't get much snow, but at the beginning of January 2004
we received several inches.  Our dogs loved romping and wrestling in it.
