Top 10 finalists in the search for NZ’s Next Tux Dog

Top 10 finalists in the search for NZ’s Next Tux Dog have been announced!



Mark and Blue sniff out some winners


New Zealand is one step closer to finding the newest celebrity to follow in the paw prints of previous “fit as a fiddle, sharp as a knife” dogs from the iconic Tux advertisements.

Top animal trainer, Mark Vette, says that it was very difficult to choose the Top 10. However, after a lot of careful deliberation and a few tough decisions, we have our finalists:

• Amazon, a Huntaway from Ohakune
• Brodie, a Border Collie from Palmerston North
• Dixie, a Yorkshire Terrier from Lower Hutt
• Harley, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier from Kumeu, Auckland
• Jay, a Collie cross from Tuatapere, Western Southland
• Jess, an NZ Heading Dog from Taumaranui
• Patrick, a Bearded Collie from Christchurch
• Pesh, a Jack Russell from Beachlands, Auckland
• Sniper, a Boxer from Browns Bay, Auckland
• Sonny, a Golden Retriever Border Collie cross from New Lynn, Auckland

The judges are currently touring the length of New Zealand visiting and auditioning each dog at its home. The public will then be able to watch the audition videos and vote for their favourite star to feature in the new ads.
