Breed
Cockapoo
Characteristics
Cockapoos are a mix of Poodle and Cocker Spaniel breeds and are often voted the most beloved Mixed Breed. They are popular pets in part due to the Poodle’s hypoallergenic fur as well as both breeds’ lovely temperament. Cockapoos are typically sweet, friendly, and loving as well as intelligent and easy to train. The Cockapoo makes a fantastic animal actor and dog model and remains a popular pick with clients.
Breed
Cocker Spaniel
Characteristics
This medium-sized beauty was initially bred as a Gundog. The Cocker Spaniel became popular throughout the 20th century and has remained an archetypical family pet ever since. These dogs are often employed in the world of animal talent for their great personalities, as they tend to be affectionate, friendly, and trainable. Cocker Spaniels are popular with British brands and are often employed to portray house pets.
Breed
Corgi
Characteristics
This small breed is the most famous of all the Welsh dogs. The Corgi is well-known as the royal dog breed, and they are frequently seen in the company of Queen Elizabeth II. It is well-regarded in the world of animal talent for its good looks and unique body shape.
These dogs are tenacious, bold, and outgoing; traits that come across in every campaign they star in. Best of all, Corgis are naturally smart and easy to train as both dog models and animal actors. Recent years have even seen the Corgi become popular pet influencers.
Breed
Czechoslovakian Wolfdog
Characteristics
A unique dog breed in the sense that it boasts almost no history and has only really been around since the 1950s, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is one of the newest dog breeds you’re likely to find anywhere across the world. Due to their wolf-like appearance, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is often used within movies, tv shows and advertisements as an alternative to a regular wild wolf. This dog breed is known to be incredibly intelligent to the point where it can be a challenge for first time owners, however, this also allows the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog to learn incredibly complex tricks and partake in campaigns too challenging for many other dog breeds.
Breed
Dachshund
Characteristics
The Dachshund, or “sausage dog”, originated in Germany and was initially used for tracking wounded game. Since then, the breed has exploded in popularity, mainly thanks to its starring role in films like The Secret Life of Pets series.
Dachshunds make excellent pet influencers as well as animal talent as people love this small breed for its long body and signature waddle. They are known to be stubborn, devoted, and courageous and require excellent obedience training. We recommend hiring a Dachshund for briefs in the entertainment industry. There’s a reason this little fella is one of the most famous dog breeds.
Breed
Dalmatian
Characteristics
This spotted dog became one of the most iconic breeds of the 1960s thanks to Walt Disney Studios’ 101 Dalmatians. The Dalmatian dog breed is a medium-sized dog and takes its place as part of the Utility group. The breed has historically been synonymous with the fire service and owning one has been seen as a sign of wealth and status.
They are intelligent, sensitive, and friendly pooches. Clients will find the Dalmatian’s beautiful coat to be an excellent addition to any pet photography shoot.
Breed
Deerhound
Characteristics
Also commonly referred to as the Scottish Deerhound, this dog breed boasts a unique appearance paired with a large stature. Originally used to hunt deer, the Scottish Deerhound is a natural athlete and is more than happy to lend its impressive physical attributes to a wide range of acting and marketing briefs. Featuring as one of the largest dog breeds available to hire, care needs to be taken to ensure that the environment within which they are working is well suited toward the Deerhound.
Breed
Doberman
Characteristics
Dobermans are known to be fearless, alert, and confident. They are commonly thought of as fierce attack dogs and were originally bred for this purpose. Indeed, in the world of animal talent, Doberman animal actors often star as ruthless villains in both film and television productions.
However, recently we’ve seen clients tap into the more sensitive side of this large breed, as Dobermans have been used in pet photography shoots for fashion campaigns looking to exude absolute power and style.
