Bullseye (mascot)

[2] Target also offers the dog as a stuffed toy for special events or employee recognition.

[citation needed] The original Target dog who debuted in a 1999 commercial[3] was American Kennel Club Champion Kingsmere Moondoggie, known as "Smudgie".

[4] The current mascot is a descendant from the breeder Skyline Bull Terriers, located in Massachusetts.

[2] Bullseye dogs live on a ranch just north of Los Angeles trained by David McMillan, operator of Worldwide Movie Animals (WMA).

[1] In 2004, American artist Amy Brazil was commissioned to paint an 8-foot by 8-foot portrait of Bullseye, which now hangs at Target corporate headquarters.
