More information about this dog
Elmo is a male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Chihuahua. He is 12 inches to the shoulder & weighs around 6.5kg. He is very comfortable around the camera having been exposed to posing from a very early age. He is happy to wear outfits, & will do tricks while wearing them as well. He is very friendly & confident with people & children & isn’t fazed by cats; he is interested in them, but is happy around them & other small animals and has even worked with a racoon.
Pet Modelling/Acting Ability
Elmo knows many tricks & commands & is highly intelligent. He became the 2nd Staffy Trick Dog Champion in the world & 1st in the UK, at just 10 months old. He gained this title by gaining Novice, Intermediate, Advanced & Expert first. He gained his Novice at 19 weeks old! He knows all basic obedience as well as more advanced tricks. He is constantly learning new tricks & so far knows around 100 behaviours in total. He can work off lead around distractions & will work for other people if they have food on them (can be hidden as long as he knows they have it). He does require some space around some other dogs (hyper/rude dogs), but in general, is a well-socialised dog. He is very social with small dogs & likes large dogs as long as they respect his size & don’t bully him.
