Dog Acting/Modelling Experience
Otto is used to being in front of the camera & studio environment as his owner is a dog photographer, so has been posing since he was 8 weeks old. He is used to wearing dog coats, jumpers & other dog items of clothing around his neck, ideal for pet modelling briefs.
He loves other dogs, although being young does like to play with them a lot. Otto has strong hunting instincts as part of his gun-dog training, therefore, wouldn’t be able to model/work with cats/birds / other small furry animals. He is a very loving dog & loves people & is not shy at making friends. He does like children but hasn’t been overly exposed to them on a regular basis but if they are confident with him, he will be with them.
Otto is a stunning Pointer suitable for specific roles according to his skills.
