Bruce, a three-year-old red-yellow coloured Labrador, exudes a cheerful and friendly personality. He is known for his boundless energy and loving nature, typical of his breed. Despite having a short tail due to an infection when he was a puppy, Bruce’s spirit remains unbroken, and he is a picture of happiness and sociability.

Labradors are renowned for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. Originating from Newfoundland, these dogs were bred to assist fishermen, which honed their strong swimming abilities and retrieval skills. Over time, they have become one of the most popular breeds worldwide, celebrated for their gentle temperament and adaptability. Bruce’s unique colouring adds to his charm, as the red-yellow hue is a rare and striking variant within the breed.

In popular culture, Labradors are frequently depicted as loyal companions and service animals. Notable examples include Marley from “Marley & Me” and Buddy from “Air Bud,” both showcasing the breed’s affectionate and versatile nature. The red-yellow colouration, though less common, makes Bruce stand out even more, drawing admiration and attention wherever he goes.

Bruce’s amiable nature and broad skill set make him an excellent candidate for various acting roles in film, television and theatre. Given his ability to perform commands such as “Down,” “Eat on set,” “Give Paw,” “High Five,” “Jump up,” “Recall,” “Roll over,” “Shy,” “Sit,” “Stay,” and “Wear clothing & accessories,” Bruce can easily adapt to a range of scenes and settings.

His breed’s general personality traits—loyalty, intelligence, and trainability—suggest he would excel in roles that require interaction with humans or other animals. Bruce’s specific abilities make him suitable for roles that involve:

– Playing a family’s beloved pet in a heartwarming film or television series.

– Participating in dynamic and active scenes, showcasing his “Jump up” and “Recall” skills.

– Performing tricks like “Give Paw” and “High Five” in children’s shows or commercials.

– Acting in roles that require wearing costumes or accessories, thanks to his comfort with “Wear clothing & accessories.”

– Depicting service dogs or therapy animals, reflecting the Labrador’s real-world roles.

Bruce’s social nature means he thrives in large groups and big productions, making him perfect for ensemble casts or busy set environments.

Bruce’s big personality and striking appearance make him an ideal candidate for diverse modelling roles beyond the realm of pet products. His experience with Pets At Home studio shoots, where he modelled clothing, collars, and harnesses, showcases his versatility.

Given his unique look and extensive skill set, Bruce is well-suited for:

– Advertising campaigns for outdoor and adventure gear, highlighting his active and robust nature.

– Promotional material for family-oriented products, such as vehicles or home goods, emphasising his role as a loyal and friendly companion.

– Fashion shoots where he can model clothing and accessories, leveraging his comfort with wearing outfits.

– Campaigns for health and wellness products, portraying an image of vitality and happiness.

– Marketing materials for travel and leisure industries, showcasing his adaptability and ease in various environments.

Bruce’s vibrant personality and confident demeanour ensure he stands out in any promotional context, making him a valuable asset for a wide range of modelling opportunities.

Bruce has worked in a professional studio on a stills shoot modelling collars, leads and harnesses.  Here, he had to work alongside another dog model in a tight studio space.  We had excellent feedback from his shoot and know that he will have many more ahead of him.
