Since 2006 Bonzer Productions has been making audiences laugh with our live shows featuring the comedy and mime of DIANE WASNAK, the music of singer, BARB POLK and the canine antics of Bonzer Productions’ AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS.
Bonzer Productions is the namesake of our first performing dog, BONZER, a one-of-a-kind canine who brought smiles to cruise ship audiences, praise from commercial producers and accolades from the Broadway stage. Today, Bonzer Productions continues our tradition of top-notch canine performance in a variety of areas!

Here’s one of our favorite videos we created for the Palo Alto Humane Society in California!
In 2015, Bonzer Productions began an exciting partnership with The Palo Alto Humane Society. Together our team won the coveted Telly Award for the video “It’s a Dog’s Day”. It’s filled with puppets, dog tricks, music and an important message for young children.

CAN YOU REALLY SLEEP WITH A BED FULL OF DOGS?
Barb Polk sings about it and Diane & the dogs answer the question in this comical music video. Our song brought home a big WIN in the Children’s Music Category at the International Songwriting Competition!
BIZZO
An active senior dog, Bizzo shares her years of experience with her younger performing partner, Bindi. Bizzo was featured in the AllTech TV spot during the World Equestrian Games and KY Lottery’s “Flying Hot Dog” commercial.
BINDI
Bindi’s sweet disposition and “doggy smile” always win the hearts of kids and grandparents alike. An exceptional learner, she is especially adept at mastering new behaviors for commercial projects.
CRIKEY
Hearing-impaired at birth, Crikey has shown us just how you overcome a challenge. He responds remarkably and is on his way to becoming a matinee idol with his striking “Bonzer style” half mask, a photographer favorite.
For your safety and the safety of our dogs Bonzer Productions is a USDA Licensed Exhibitor since 2001.
