Since Susan Sarao started Violet Meadow Farm in 1999 her puppies have been a part of popular media including tv shows, commercials, and magazine ads. Below we’ve listed just a few of these accomplishments. Stay tuned as we update periodically with our newest accomplishments!
NBC’s Third Watch (2004)
Aidan Quinn stars in Third Watch on NBC.
So do our IrishJacks Charlie, Hopper, Belle and Emma Joe. They aired on NBC on the October 22nd and on the 29th shows. One of the puppies, Hopper, kept climbing out of his pen and jumping around on the set. The crew were joking that he should get paid extra for being a stunt dog!!

Coach (2004)
One of our IrishJacks, Crystal of Waterford, graced the stage at one of Coach’s photo shoots. She used to be full of herself before this… but now there is no hope for her!!! These photos appeared in the 2004 Spring/Summer catalog.
Damages (2007)
We had a total of three IrishJack puppies on the set of Damages working up close and personal with Glenn Close and Ted Danson. Buster, the puppy pictured below with Close, traveled to Brooklyn, New York to “co-star” in this television show.
Sunsilk Hairapy (2008)
A few years back our most well known IrishJack, the Famous Elvis, participate in this Sunsilk commercial. The director rewrote the entire commercial to accommodate Elvis’s signature pose, exhibited during the second to last scene. They thought it was perfect!
ASPCA (2011)
In early 2011 Bella and Phoenix participated on the set of an ASPCA commercial. The commercial is part of the “Crusade Against Puppy Mills” campaign the ASPCA is sponsoring.
