Milo is an experienced dog model that has the stunning and unmistakable looks of a fit, athletic Hungarian vizsla.  His sleek fur, healthy build and soulful eyes make Milo a wonderful option for production teams and photographers alike.

While the vizsla’s exact origins are somewhat debated it is generally believed that the breed originated in Hungary.  It is thought to have descended from various hunting dogs brought to the Carpathian Basin by Magyar tribes around the 9th century. These dogs interbred with local breeds and were refined over time to create the Vizsla’s distinctive traits.

Originally bred as hunting dogs for falconers and nobility in medieval Hungary, they were prized for their exceptional hunting skills where they were used to track and retrieve game birds. The breed’s keen sense of smell, stamina, and natural pointing instincts made them highly effective in these roles.

Today, the vizsla is celebrated as an excellent hunting dog, known for its ability to track, point, and retrieve game in various terrains. Also a beloved family companion due to its friendly and affectionate nature, the breed’s striking reddish-gold coat and sleek build make it easily recognisable.

The vizsla’s journey from its origins as a noble hunting dog to its role as a cherished family pet showcases its adaptability, versatility, and enduring appeal. The dog remains a symbol of Hungarian heritage and an embodiment of the strong bond between humans and their canine companions.

A popular breed worldwide, these fabulous dogs have appeared in movies such as
The Truth About Cats & Dogs; in this romantic comedy, a vizsla named “Hank” plays a supporting role as the dog owned by the main character’s neighbour.  In  Must Love Dogs a vizsla named “Mother Theresa” is featured in this romantic comedy, adding a touch of charm to the storyline.  Other films featuring vizslas include Contagion, The Sweetest Thing, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and notably Firehouse Dog where a wirehaired vizsla named “Rexxx” takes on a significant role in this family comedy as a firehouse mascot.  We’re sure as can be that it won’t be long before we see Milo in such a role.Top of Form

Milo is a real outdoorsy dog which is not surprising considering is vizsla breeding.  They’re a dog renowned for their physical activity and their work in the countryside.  If you’re filming out on location, particularly in rural areas, Milo is the dog for you.  He has experience in location work having filmed for a promotional footage for Crufts where he worked with a full crew in a busy location.

This is a dog that is outgoing and has a confident personality; he warms up to crew members and the acting team quickly making him easy to work with on set.  He’s happy to work under strong lighting and has no fear of boom mics or other equipment.

Vizlas are an adaptable dog, best loved for their field work; film scenes that are packed with action are most suitable for this breed.  One of the ancient dog breeds with an impressive history, the Hungarian vizsla is a timeless dog with an unmistakable appearance that can be traced back centuries; for this reason, Milo is well suited to period dramas, historical programmes and more.

Having grown up in a busy family home, Milo is great with kids and can work with child actors where necessary.  He’s also great with other dogs and can work among a crowd.

Milo the vizsla  is a fine example of his pedigree and his image can therefore be used in breed specific merchandising, such as books, calendars, mugs, door signs and more.  As a young adult, he has a fine stature and an athletic build.

He is well suited to work with all ages of models and is happy to pose for flash photography.  He is also capable of working with props as required and is happy to model dog clothing and accessories.  His deep red coat has a beautiful sheen to it and looks fabulous among any number of backgrounds, whether in the studio or out on location.

We think Milo looks particularly great set against a rural background where he really gets to show off his amiable personality and impressive physique.

At his young age, Milo already has experience having filmed promotional footage for Crufts on location where he worked with a full crew in a busy environment.  We are excited to see him participate in further filming and photoshoots as his career progresses.
