Breed
Shetland Sheepdog
Characteristics
The Shetland Sheepdog, often known as the Sheltie, is a breed of herding dog that originated in the Shetland Islands of Scotland. The original name was Shetland Collie, but this caused controversy amongst Rough Collie breeders of the time, so the breed’s name was formally changed.
Breed
Shiba Inu
Characteristics
The Shiba Inu is a world-famous breed that hails from the land of the rising sun; Japan. It is a medium-sized dog but is on the smaller side. However, what isn’t small is the Shiba’s huge personality! It is a natural guard dog and is very protective over those it loves. Shibas make excellent companion dogs and are naturally full of beans. As dog models, these pooches have become prevalent in pop-culture, particularly after the rise of the “Doge” internet meme. In Japan, they’ve been used extensively in film and television productions. However, brands across the world can’t get enough of these smiley, high-energy dogs. Their short coat, curly tail, and fox-like features have seen them become a hit in countless productions. Additionally, they come in a variety of colours, though their most famous variation is red.
Breed
Shih Tzu
Characteristics
The Shih Tzu is a classic lapdog with a fantastic temperament and an adorable look. It is notable for its small size, round head, and prominent eyes, and it comes in a variety of colours. The breed is quite common in the UK, and it has somewhat become one of the poster children for the Toy breeding group along with the Chihuahua and Pomeranian. Shih Tzus are famously easy to work with and are often amenable to being handled and working with children and other animals.
Additionally, the breed is a dream for brands looking to groom their star and give it a stylish makeover.

Breed
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Characteristics
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier or “Staffie” is known for its fierce appearance, hiding a delightful personality. They are nicknamed the “nanny dog” due to their excellence with children and their docile and gentle nature. The Staffie was ironically bred as a fighting dog, which led to difficulties in getting the breed registered by the Kennel Club.
Now, however, the Staffie is seen as a wonderful family pet, while we at Urban Paws UK have top quality Staffie dog models on our books. This small breed is an excellent choice, particularly for major film and television productions thanks to its natural calmness.

Characteristics
The Swedish Valhund is a clever and attentive companion, true to their heritage as a working farm dog breed. They’re active canines who require pet owners who are just as active. The Swedish Valhund is a lively, playful, and affectionate dog. Combining their unique appearance and passion for work the Swedish Valhund is the perfect dog breed for staring in various acting and modelling briefs, helping to differentiate your brand from the competition along the way.
