More information about this dog
Lionel is a stunning Afghan Hound dog model with a long blonde coat. People stop in the street when they see this gentle but powerful boy walking. This hipster dog is 27kg.
Pet Acting / Modelling Ability
Lionel’s theme tune is definitely ‘Easy Like Sunday Morning’. This is due to his relaxed temperament and friendly manner with all that he meets. He is very sociable, he remembers every person/dog he’s met before. This Afghan Hound model is lovely with small dogs, children, cats and all adults.
As a very calm and relaxed dog, he is unflappable, which is fantastic for being on set. Hipster to his core he was raised in Ibiza. He is used to attention, large crowds, fireworks and loud music. Nothing phases this chilled out guy.
Lionel cannot work with German Shepherds but is great will other breeds. He is very patient and gentle with small dogs and cats and very playful with most breeds except aggressive dogs. His first instinct is to play. When walking Lionel will sit down if he meets a small dog.
The genius about Lionel is that he is so relaxed! Nothing phases him! That makes him the perfect casting model/actor.
Lionel can raise his eyebrows to the word ‘chicken’ and with his almost human face he melts hearts.
This handsome boy is a bit of a Jazz enthusiast, he likes to sing along when his owner plays the saxophone.
His coat must be kept natural so he will not be groomed to the show standard as his owner wishes to maintain all his natural features including his facial whiskers/beard. His moustache is fabulous.
He is happy to wear pet clothing and accessories and can also work with props.
