It's an illusion. It only looks like they're sleeping. In actuality, they are fully cognizant and merely pretending to be asleep in order to lull their adversaries into a false sense of security. The official website policy is that "These animals have NOT been drugged; they are posed in Zen-like readiness for the kill."

Muttwatch is active whenever the humans on the estate are going to be absent and will have a chance to monitor activity. Normally, this is most weekdays from 0600 to 1800 hours MST.

Our mutts are free to wander the grounds of their estate at ALL times. They have many areas to protect. Also, some napping does occur off-camera, along with the regular stalking of small game and other prey.

Muttwatch is shot in low light levels. We don't want strong lights in the napping area. iGlasses light-enhancement software was added in late 2004. Google also "mac gamma".

No.

Because muttwatch is considered sleep terrorism by most western nations, the cast and crew are obliged to keep their whereabouts a secret. Please write to your local and national government representatives and express your concern about the recent clampdown on unauthorized napping.

You, sir, are a pervert and a boorish man. Please stop asking us this question.

Muttwatch was designed for access with a broadband internet connection. If you use dial-up access you need to be patient. Recently improved picture thumb-nailing techniques have also decreased page load times.

No...but it's a fair question. We appreciate your feelings on the worthiness of penguins as canine chums. Unfortunately, after consulting with the cast (and the groundskeeper) it has been determined that the addition of penguins would be an unwise choice at this time. When queried about penguins on Muttwatch the responses were:
Kali: "FOOD!"
Tosh: "Ummm...food?"
Groundskeeper Bill: "Wot? Pin-gwin? The wee felly'd be dooomed, wunnit?"
The official website policy is that "Muttwatch respects all non-human organisms and their place in our global ecosystem. We respectfully decline the addition of non-canis species at this time."
