Our concern and the concern of many club members was that these dogs in the movie might cause people to fall in love with and buy them without understanding the special characteristics and grooming requirements. Which might lead people to abandon the dogs and create a spate of unwanted Beardies.
The managment of the theatre and Disney Productions were kind enough to allow us to set up an information booth in the lobby to educate the public about the dogs and to collect donations for Bearded Collie Rescue. Our dogs took turns being petted and hugged and we were very gratified at the reception we received.
