Greatest American Dog Producers Speak out
By now we all now that CBS has gone to the dogs. It seems to be the catch phrase for everything written about the new reality TV show that CBS is offering up for it’s summer line up.
On July 10 and continual Thursdays throughout the summer we will get our chance to see the competitve sides of these dog owners and dogs as they compete in various challenges.
“It becomes more driven, intense and funny than you can imagine,” says producer R.J. Cutler.
Like many people, his relationship with dogs is at a distance. He fondly recalls a cocker spaniel from his boyhood.
Jarod Miller, the show’s host, recalls his golden retriever. “He was as wiry as I was. That dog was crazy.”
At 25, Miller ran the Binghamton Zoo in New York. He doesn’t have time for that now, though; now he’s too busy with projects like “Greatest American Dog,” which assembles a dozen dogs and their owners.
The people vary sharply. There’s a doctor, a bartender, a construction manager, a fashion designer and more.
Their dogs vary in:
• Size. “There’s a giant schnauzer and there’s a Pomeranian and a Maltese,” Miller said.
• Breeding. Some are purebred; Bella Starlet mixes Chihuahua, shih tzu, Labrador retriever, Pomeranian and more.
• Age: Bella Starlet is 10 and Galaxy is 9; some are only 1. “You can see their excitement and puppy-ness,” Miller said.
• Beauty. There are cuddly lap dogs; there’s also a boxer and a bulldog.
These mismatched dogs and people are thrown into one house, then given challenges. “In some cases, they don’t have any time to prepare,” Cutler said. “They just do it.”
This clicked with him instantly, he said. “CBS had the idea to do a reality show with dogs. I thought it was an awesome idea.”
We will all be the judge of that when July 10th rolls around and our Doggie friends and owners make their reality TV debut
