Rupert is an affectionate and playful Springer Spaniel and Shih Tzu mix with a soft black and white coat. Born in 2021, Rupert has a calm and gentle nature that makes him incredibly endearing. Weighing 18kg, he’s a medium-sized companion who adores people, especially children, and enjoys endless games of fetch. Rupert’s expressive personality shines through, and he’s known for his love of cuddles on the couch, often displaying a human-like depth in his mannerisms.

With a solid skill set including sit, stay, and the unique ability to look over his shoulder on command, Rupert is highly trainable and versatile. Though he can be initially shy around new dogs, he quickly settles and interacts well with his surroundings.

Rupert’s friendly and expressive nature, combined with his training in commands like sit, stay, and “look over shoulder,” make him ideal for roles requiring a responsive, well-mannered dog. His ability to follow cues with ease makes him suitable for film, television, or commercials that highlight a playful, affectionate pet. His calm disposition and patience make him well-suited for family-friendly productions, where his gentle personality can truly shine.

Rupert’s photogenic appearance and his enthusiasm for interacting with people, especially children, mean he would excel in roles requiring companionship, warmth, and a bit of charm.

With his unique Springer Spaniel and Shih Tzu mix, Rupert’s striking black and white coat and expressive features make him an excellent choice for modelling. His prior experience on a photoshoot for *Pets at Home* has prepared him for the camera, making him a great fit for pet product campaigns, lifestyle brands, or family-oriented advertisements. 

His gentle expression and ability to pose, including looking over his shoulder on command, give him a special appeal for lifestyle and pet product shoots. Rupert’s friendly presence and trainable nature ensure he will add charm to any campaign.

Rupert gained professional experience on set earlier this year for Pets at Home.
