GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Ice is a three-year-old male Saint Bernard whose gentle presence immediately draws people in. This animal exudes a calm, steady energy that makes him a comforting and reassuring figure on any set. Exceptionally affectionate and fond of human interaction, he thrives on attention and adores being fussed over. Despite his impressive stature, Ice believes himself to be a lap dog at heart, often leaning in for affection with a soulful gaze and a soft demeanour. He is wonderfully well-mannered, rarely vocalising except to signal he’s ready to come back indoors, and has been carefully trained not to jump or offer a paw due to his size.

With his broad frame, noble head and striking tri-colour coat, Ice is a quintessential example of the Saint Bernard breed. His expressive dark eyes and dignified markings add to his visual appeal, making him particularly photogenic from every angle.

The Saint Bernard has a storied heritage as a rescue dog, famously originating in the Swiss Alps where they were bred by monks to locate lost travellers in snowbound conditions. Their strength, intelligence and highly developed sense of direction made them invaluable during alpine rescue missions. Popular culture has long celebrated the Saint Bernard – from Beethoven, the endearing family dog in the classic 90s film, to cartoons and storybooks that depict them as heroic and huggable giants. Their image is synonymous with loyalty, bravery and a touch of comic charm.

Ice is ideal for roles requiring a large, placid dog who can convey warmth, dependability and subtle emotion. His composed temperament and obedience make him an excellent fit for family dramas, period pieces or heartwarming storylines where a loyal canine companion supports the lead characters. He would also suit historical or alpine-themed productions that nod to the Saint Bernard’s working past.

Thanks to his ability to remain still and follow direction with ease, Ice is equally effective in more structured or comedic scenes, where his imposing size can be playfully contrasted with his docile behaviour. His natural rapport with people makes him perfect for roles involving interaction with actors of all ages, including children. He brings presence and authenticity to any set that needs a dependable dog with a strong visual identity.

Ice is particularly suited to high-end print campaigns and advertising shoots that benefit from his stately appearance and composed energy. His soft coat, strong bone structure and amiable expression lend themselves beautifully to fashion editorials, lifestyle brands and luxury homeware promotions.

With his calm nature and polished behaviour, he performs reliably in studio or location environments, easily settling into position and holding focus. Ice’s friendly disposition makes him a compelling ambassador for products promoting comfort, reliability or wellbeing – from outdoor gear and winter wear to family vehicles, home furnishings and even tech devices aimed at domestic users.

He also adapts seamlessly to promotional content for live events, exhibitions and experiential campaigns where approachability and control are paramount. Whether gracing the pages of a glossy magazine or quietly captivating onlookers at a trade show, Ice brings dignity, warmth and memorability to every project.
