Born on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1998 in the Santa Clarita Valley, California, to father, Lassie VIII, mother Star and Godfather Bob Weatherwax (owner and trainer of Lassie), Lulu, a full-sized Collie, was adopted at eight weeks old by actress, Marina Anderson who also trained Lulu. She was sister to the current Lassie (IX). Lulu passed away March 25, 2008 in the arms of her "mom".
The spitting image of her sable colored brother (Lassie IX), Lulu was hand-command, verbal and spelling trained to perform may tricks (go to a mark, recall, lie down, down stay, sit, sit stay, on your side, paw up/shake, sit up, speak, roll over, circle around, back up, fetch toys, 'go to', 'talks' on the phone and to people, is great in the car. Lulu was also a Service Dog with AKC Canine Good Citizen Program and Therapy Dog certification, which gave her entrée to hospitals, nursing homes and other places where a healing presence and friendly face was needed and welcomed.
A funny, loving personality and natural ham, hey, it runs (pardon the pun) in the family, Lulu was totally comfortable on set with noises and in front of the camera. Lulu loved grown-ups, babies, kids, horses, cats, other dogs, squirrels.
Marina was listed as an animal trainer with the Local 399 and worked in association with other animal companies such as A2Z Animals to suit production needs and requirements. Marina is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild and has worked on-camera with Lulu in many productions.
