I just saw the previews of the movie Marley and Me , coming out to the theaters Christmas Eve.... Anyone know who the breeder or dogs are they used in the movie? Also, where is the kennel they went to buy their pup?
That movie looks really cute, I can't wait to go see it. I'm pretty sure that the breeder they used is on this forum or Laura's. If I remember correctly they only used her Labs for the puppy parts.
I was perusing some sites recently and stumbled upon this site that claims they have labs in "an upcoming movie about a yellow lab" .
I did think that a breeder on the forum had pups in the movie but don't know about the adult playing Marley.

I'm pretty sure the adult Marley was a shelter dog. We had bunches of casting calls living in MIA, BUT I remember they only wanted a shelter or rescued dog for the adult Marley.
There were 22 dogs that portrayed Marley during the course of the movie. 11 were puppies under 6 months and there were 6 adult dogs (from 1 to 6 years) that were rescue dogs that played Marley.
Nancy, were you asking about the kennel portrayed in the movie, or the one the actual real-life Marley was from? I don't know about the one in the movie, but the real-life Marley came from a backyard breeder in Florida. The Grogans answered a newspaper ad.
Thanks for the information...... yes, I also wanted to know the site of the kennel.
It looked very nice, from a short shot of the the entrance. Anyone know what was the location ?
