• 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,

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.
