Bullseye (formerly known as Spot) is a Miniature Bull Terrier and an official mascot of Target Corporation. These dogs are featured in Target's commercial campaigns and on store salesboards and used in various marketing campaigns. Dogs used in marketing campaigns are often women, but are used to play a male character. He has a clean white coat, and has a Target Corporation bullseye logo painted around his left eye because of it's name. The makeup used on bullseye is all natural and non-toxic. Target also offers dogs as toy dolls for special events or employee recognition. The original Target Dog is American Kennel Club Ch. Kingsmere Moondoggie, known as "Smudgie." The current mascot is descended from the breeder Skyline Bull Terriers, located in Massachusetts.
Bullseye lives on a farm north of Los Angeles, owned by the owner and his coach, David McMillan, the Worldwide Animals Film operator. The farm is home to the Targeted dog Nikki, although Target will not reveal whether this is the nickname of the current Bullseye or its predecessor.
In 2004, American artist Amy Brazil was commissioned to paint an 8-foot with 8-foot portrait of Bullseye, which now hangs at Target's corporate headquarters.
In July 2015, Bullseye was affectionately called "Gigi" by his photographer during the opening of the new Target City located in Massachusetts. The bullseye is rumored to have been flown from Minneapolis for the opening.
