Undoubtedly, the main star of the film “The Mask,” which has captivated audiences for more than two decades, is the Canadian-American comedian Jim Carrey, but the highlight of the film can rightfully be called the hero’s perky dog. The main character's name is Stanley Ipkiss, and the dog's name in the movie "The Mask" is Milo (a short form of the name Miles). The dog fits into the plot of the film so organically, making the funny scenes even funnier and the sad ones more touching, that it is impossible not to note his acting skills. What is the breed of the dog from the movie “The Mask”? This will be discussed in the article.
General information
A brief description of:
- — getting a dog of this breed is recommended for people who lead an active lifestyle, as these kids need daily walks and exercise;
- — these dogs are not trained on their own. Despite the dog’s docile behavior in the film “The Mask,” this breed needs timely education and training;
- - They love their family very much, so they need human contact. You should not leave your dog alone for a long period of time;
- — these dogs are excellent hunting companions, which is why they have a loud and ringing bark. This fact should be taken into account when bringing a Jack Russell Terrier into an apartment;
- - They do not require special care.

We can say about the breed that they are active, intelligent, strong, working dogs, their body is flexible and medium in size. But this is not a complete description, here’s what you can add:
- Dogs' fur is not soft, it can be smooth, but not always;
- The height of the body is less than its length, the chest is narrow;
- Short but strong legs indicate closeness with dachshunds. The weight of the main character of the film is about 6 kilograms.
- They are clean, love to take care of themselves, but they need help in this by combing their fur in the morning.
Roxy
Roxy is Tino's girlfriend, the breed is Landseer. A member of the mastiff family, the Landseer is a working dog native to the Newfoundland region of Canada. They have also been selectively bred in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland and are slightly different from their Canadian ancestors.
The Landseer is a good swimmer and was primarily used to haul in fishing nets. They also make good water rescue dogs.
The Landseer is a wonderful addition to the family due to its calm nature, friendliness, good trainability, gentleness and love for children of all ages.
Twice a year they shed a lot and also drool, which can be a problem for families who are planning to keep such a dog at home. Average life expectancy is 10 years.
Description of the Jack Russell Terrier breed
The Jack Russell Terrier is a small dog whose height does not exceed 38 cm. Despite their height, they have a very strong and muscular build. The black nose, small dark eyes and floppy ears make this breed very cute and funny. Their tail is set high and must be docked.
The peculiarity of their appearance is, of course, their color. Their fur is smooth and white. There are spots on the dog's body. The spots may be black or red.
The Jack Russell Terrier dog breed was bred to hunt game that lives in burrows. Thanks to their compact size, dexterity and strength, they easily fished game out of holes, and after that they did not allow it to escape.
Hunting genes have left their mark on the habits and character of these dogs, so it is not uncommon for owners of Jack Russell Terriers to note that during walks these dogs can chase a squirrel or a cat, and also have a tendency to dig holes.
Who would like the dog from the movie “The Mask”?
Despite the cute appearance of dogs like Milo from The Mask, some people should not have dogs of this breed. Before purchasing an animal, you should consider the following facts:
- “Small” Jack Russells require the same active walking as large dogs. Keeping an animal within four walls all the time will not work;
- If there are other dogs in the house with a difficult dominant character, the Jack Russell may easily not get along with them. In addition, Jack Russells are quite jealous, which is why they can have clashes with other pets;
- Jack Russells are hunters, so even without training they will catch cats and rodents if they are not weaned from this from an early age. If there is, say, a guinea pig in the house, the dog must be taught from the first days of being in the house that it is forbidden to touch the rodent;
- A priori, such a dog should not be owned by very elderly, lazy or busy people who will not be able to provide the dog with proper physical activity;
- These dogs love to bark loudly if something has alerted or angered them (hunting instincts come into play again), so they may not be suitable for people who love silence;
- Female Jack Russells are usually calmer and more affectionate than male Jack Russells of the same breed. Males are usually hyperactive and very fearless;
- Jack Russell dogs (if they are well trained) are able to stand up not only for themselves, but also for their owners. Of course, they will not be able to cause serious harm due to their modest size, but they are quite capable of driving away a dog that has stuck to its owner;
- It is best if the owner of the Jack Russell has character, that is, moderately strict, but fair. Connivance, excessive pity and lack of education will turn the puppy into an uncontrollable adult, which, thanks to its irrepressible energy, will behave disgustingly.
Characteristic qualities of the breed
These are jumping dogs
. They can easily jump 1.5 meters in height. They are very fond of ball games, during which they can indulge in a variety of jumps in all directions. Another passion of Jack Russells is digging holes. This feature must be taken into account when leaving the dog alone in the yard, even for a short time. She can easily dig under the fence and escape from the area.
Wayward Jack Russells have a strong instinct to chase and aggression towards other dogs; it is advisable to take control of these characteristics of the breed from early childhood. For those who are getting a dog for the first time, it is better to choose a calmer breed. The dog from “The Mask” can be too tough for even experienced dog breeders.

By watching the Barboskin family, not only small, but also some adult viewers can learn to solve pressing problems.
Max
The role of Max was played by four dogs of the Biewer-Yorkshire terrier breed. This is a breed originally from Germany that is descended from the Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer Terrier's temperament is similar to that of a small child.
They like to be loved and given attention. They are also not large in size: the average height is 18-22 centimeters, weight 1.8 - 3 kilograms.
With their owner, they are ready to go anywhere - with a happy and fearless attitude. This bravery makes them feel like a "big dog", but in reality they are fragile, so try to avoid rough play, jumping off furniture and so on.
These dogs are intelligent and loyal to their families. They usually get along well with older children who have been taught how to handle small pets. The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier also gets along well with other pets. Average life expectancy is 12-15 years.
Character of the Jack Russell Terrier breed
Dogs of this breed are distinguished by their devotion to their owner. They make excellent companions, ready to accompany their owner in any matter. But it is worth remembering that Jack Russell Terriers need to compensate for their boundless energy with active walks and games, so it is not recommended to own this breed for those who do not lead an active lifestyle and are often away from home.
Otherwise, the dog’s behavior may change due to boredom, he may be overly intrusive, perhaps even aggressive, and there will be a greater tendency to damage your things.
Their activity also manifests itself in the desire to be the center of attention. A dog of this breed will be very happy to interact with your guests, attracting attention. But you shouldn’t think that the dog loves everyone; from the very beginning, it will closely watch strangers.
The Jack Russell Terrier may behave ambiguously towards other animals, but there is a high probability that it will perceive pets that are smaller than it as prey. Animals larger than him will be competitors for his owner’s attention, so perhaps this will be expressed in fights, or in an absolutely neutral attitude.
The Jack Russell Terrier gets along well with small children, but will try to attract the owner's attention to itself.
The main disadvantage of Jack Russell Terriers is their loud bark, which they use quite often.
Character Milo
After the release of “The Mask,” children from almost all over the world dreamed of finding out the name of the dog breed from the film. Of course, there Milo was a loyal, understanding and obedient friend of his master. In life, the picture is a little different.
- equilibrium. However, it will quickly evaporate if the dog does not regularly splash out his energy;
- unpretentiousness to living conditions and endurance. This breed does not need special nutrition or care, and its physical characteristics reliably protect it from cold and rain;
- friendliness;
- loud barking;
- loyalty to the owner and obedience. But these qualities are cultivated only through training, during which it is necessary to find a common language with the dog and accustom it to certain rules;
- sharp mind and stubbornness. Among terriers, this is the most intelligent and easily trained nature, but puppies can often be stubborn and refuse to follow commands;
- courage and boldness. They are excellent defenders and difficult to scare;
- curiosity. These terriers love to travel, adapt well to any environment and love to learn something new.
Dog's name
A dog named Milo demonstrated not only the power of a dog's devotion, but also showed remarkable ingenuity in the movie scene with the keys. The clever craftsman who played the role of Stanley Ipkiss's little friend was named Max.
It's surprising that the viewer was not deceived. For example, the famous Lassie was played by male actors.
Among the interesting facts inherent in the four-legged actor or his brothers in the breed, the following should be highlighted:
- Emotionality
. Animals quickly become attached to their owners and express any feelings with the help of a loud bark. - Jumpability
. High jumping 150 cm is a favorite activity of terriers. It is important for the owners to mentally prepare for his athletic tricks. - Max has experience
. The terrier managed to appear on the big screen back in 1991 in the role of the funny Gryzlik from the film “Problem Child”. - Fearlessness
. Miniature size does not matter in times of danger. The dog always shows persistence and is not inferior to larger breeds. - Perpetuated the memory of the founding father
. The first breeder and subsequent founder was the Englishman Russell John. - Love of digging
. The hunting spirit of their ancestors allows them to dig deep holes in a short time, so they love to dig in their personal yard. - Mystical coincidence with the director's surname
. Chuck Russell certainly didn't cast based on his own last name, but the end result is questionable. - Longevity
. Milo lived a long and happy life. Having left the world at the age of 16, he left a reliable replacement in the person of his son Enzo.
Frank Welker, who is remembered for his roles as the monkey Abu and the charming chubby Garfield, was responsible for the voice acting.
Giant
The giant was played by a large dog named Phil, a breed of Boerboel, also known as the South African Mastiff. The word "Boerboel" is translated from African as "farm dog". The name directly tells us their purpose. They were bred in South Africa to protect homesteads from predators such as lions, leopards and hyenas.
The breed appeared as a result of crossing Bulldogs and Bullmastiffs, brought by the British with aboriginal South African dogs, as well as long-term natural selection in the harsh conditions of Africa.
If the Boerboel were a vehicle, it would look more like a powerful tank. This is a massive dog (average weight about 90 kg), used primarily as a guard dog. She is confident and assertive, ready to fight anyone who invades her territory.
Yes, the Boerboel can be a gentle, good-natured giant for his family if he falls into the right hands. Here you need to take into account that Russia and Ukraine in 2011 added these dogs to the list of especially dangerous breeds.
Size and power impose certain restrictions on the possible owner of such a dog. This should be someone who has experience with and training large dogs and is well versed in reward-based training methods. After all, anyone who tries to control Boerboel with brute force will lose.
Caring for a Jack Russell Terrier
This breed of dog does not require any specialized care. The coat can be combed no more than once a week, and this is done to reduce the number of naturally falling hairs.
They need to be washed only when necessary; private bathing is not recommended for Jack Russell Terriers.
Just like all dog breeds, Jack Russell Terriers need to have their nails trimmed and their ears and eyes cleaned regularly.
Dogs of this breed do not have an unpleasant dog odor, therefore, to prevent the natural protection from the unpleasant odor from disappearing, you should not wash their fur with shampoo or other products.
Poodle
Representatives of this beautiful breed played 209 roles. Some of the most famous include “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “April in Paris”. There is a poodle in The Secret Life of Pets. Representatives of the breed are observant, have a good memory, and masterfully understand facial expressions and intonation, which makes them excellent actors. Another plus is its noble appearance with a touch of aristocracy.
Care
The Jack Russell is a dog for living with the family indoors. It's best if he has access to a fenced yard where he can spend at least some of his restless energy.
When walking your Jack Russell, a leash is always required to prevent him from chasing other animals and challenging large dogs. He will need 30 to 45 minutes of vigorous walking every day.
People who are going to get a Jack Russell must be firm and consistent. Like all strong-willed dogs, he will need strict and firm rules that must be followed strictly. Persistent and patient owners will be rewarded with a loyal and “positive” dog.
Jack Russells, starting from puppyhood, need a lot of contact with other dogs - to prevent aggression towards other dogs and animals, they need early socialization.
Buddy
Buddy is not a purebred dog, but a mix of St. Bernard and Australian Shepherd.
This mix turns out to be a very smart, dedicated and loyal comrade. After all, both parent dogs are very friendly and loving. Probably, the St. Bernard genes compensate for the agility and energy of the Australian Shepherd. But still, if you are a couch potato or don't like an active lifestyle, this breed is not for you. Such dogs turn out to be calm, smart, and self-confident. Although friendly, they are suspicious of strangers, making them good guard dogs. They also love to have fun and play, and that requires a good outdoor yard.
Education and training
The process of training a Jack Russell Terrier is quite simple, since dogs of this breed love to please their owner.
Before you start training a dog, you need to take care of its upbringing, namely:
— accustom the dog to its name;
— establish authority in front of the dog;
— socialize the dog, etc.
A well-trained dog will know basic commands on an instinctive level, making training easy and fun.
You cannot raise a dog using force. To punish your pet, use the ignoring method, since for Jack Russell Terriers, who love to be the center of attention, the owner’s lack of desire to play will be a punishment.
Golden retriever
These are very beautiful dogs with amazing colors, so it is not surprising that they were chosen to star in 146 films. Among the most famous films are “Homecoming”, “Five Superheroes”, “King of the Air”. These are very smart animals that successfully cope with the role of rescuers, they swim well, and are among the top 5 smartest dogs in the world.

Purchasing a puppy
The dog from “Mask” is a breed whose photos adorn many magazine spreads. Almost everyone wanted to buy it after the film was released. Over time, the hype around the breed subsided, but even today it still has many lovers and loyal fans.
Puppies are purchased not only for hunting, but most often as companions. The price of a puppy depends on the availability of documents and class. So, a show baby will cost from 40 to 80 thousand rubles, while just a dog from good parents will cost 25-35 thousand rubles.
Some people buy puppies without documents at a low price, but in this case there is a high risk of getting a breed that has mental problems. If you decide to buy such a dog, you should take with you a person who understands the breed so that he can assess how well it meets the basic criteria:
- Advantage of white color, 2 spots on the head, a couple of spots near the tail.
- Strong bones, developed muscles, clean ears and eyes.
When purchasing a dog, it is important to remember that this is not a toy, it is a close creature for many years. Therefore, you cannot focus only on a picture from a movie. You should carefully analyze the characteristics of the breed and understand whether you are ready to cope with the difficult nature of the dog and meet its needs for movement.
Ellie
Ellie is a German Shepherd. The German Shepherd is a large and beautiful breed of dog, intelligent, active and versatile. They can be trained to perform a wide range of tasks, which is why they are used in various fields, from filming to military dogs and, of course, as beloved pets.
The breed dates back to the late 1800s and has a long and interesting history. Initially used to protect and walk livestock, these dogs were actively used by the German army during the First World War, today they are often used as police dogs, guide dogs, therapy dogs, search dogs and this is not surprising given their intelligence.
The German Shepherd requires a lot of exercise, moderate grooming, and a lot of handling. In general, the breed has a good temperament, high intelligence and trainability, which makes them easily adaptable pets.
- Cable height 60-65 cm, weight 30-45 kg.
- The height of the bitches is 55-60 cm, weight 22-32 kg.
Health
The health of Jack Russell Terriers is quite good, so they do not have any special hereditary diseases, but very often their eyes are susceptible to various diseases and infections. Therefore, the condition of the eyes must be carefully monitored and, if necessary, washed with a special solution.
In general, the Jack Russell Terrier is a faithful companion for a person who leads an active lifestyle. The dog will happily accompany you on walks, jogs, picnics, hikes and other active activities.
Very busy people who do not have the opportunity to devote enough time to the dog and its unlimited activity should not get a Jack Russell Terrier.
German Shepherd
German Shepherds are wonderful service dogs that can perform military and border service. They are smart, quick-witted, obedient and loyal. Representatives of the breed have played 562 roles, which is more than twice the achievements of other dogs. They often played leading roles (“K-9” and “I Am Legend”). There are films with shepherds in domestic cinema: “Border Dog Scarlet”, “Return of Mukhtar” and others.
Milo was voiced by Frank Welker in the film.
After the success of the film, an animated series was released under the same name, “The Mask.” Milo the dog has often appeared on various television shows. Milo's voice was provided by Frank Welecker, who has also voiced many other similar characters, including Scooby-Doo, Droopy, Santa's Little Helper; he also provided the voices of other animals, such as Abu in Aladdin and Garfield the cat in several cartoons.
Duke
Duke's breed of Irish Wolfhound is the tallest of all modern breeds and has the height and strength to take down large prey. Bred by the Celtic race over thousands of years, it was successful in exterminating wild wolves in Ireland and other areas of Europe, almost leading to the breed's extinction in the seventeenth century.
Despite their imposing appearance, these dogs are among the friendliest, unlike their ancestors, which Celtic warriors used in battles against the Romans and Greeks.
Under thick eyebrows hides a pair of eyes that speak of an intelligent and calm character. Although their enormous size often acts as a deterrent to intruders, they are non-aggressive and often welcome strangers into their territory.
Although the Irish Wolfhound is classified as a greyhound, it does not indiscriminately chase small animals, but tends to look out for larger prey, so it can live comfortably with cats and other pets. Due to his huge long legs, he requires a certain amount of walking every day.
Unfortunately, like many other giant breeds, the Irish Wolfhound does not have a high life expectancy. The high risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer inherent in this breed makes its own adjustments, so that the life expectancy is only 6-8 years.
Prices for puppies in the kennel
When purchasing purebred animals, choose only large, proven nurseries. The cost of puppies will depend on the cleanliness of the exterior. The average price tag ranges from 15-30 thousand rubles.
Remember that buying secondhand is fraught with deception, so avoid such offers.
When purchasing, check:
- silkiness of the coat;
- shine and purity of the eyes;
- general activity and contact of the baby;
- availability of mandatory vaccinations.
Do not aim for an elite show class when choosing an ordinary pet for your soul. Any class corresponds to the breed and provides a good pedigree.
In conclusion, I note that the picture shown on the big screen rarely coincides with reality. Don't go crazy while watching a funny movie and don't rush to buy a new pet without familiarizing yourself with its features.
The unfortunate Dalmatians, who caused a stir after the release of the cartoon in 1996, found themselves thrown out into the street en masse after their irresponsible owners realized that the cartoon character was completely different from the real dog.
The sparkling comedy “Mask” was watched by many. And one of the favorite characters was the smart and devoted dog, the faithful companion of the main character. The audience was so impressed by this charming creature that after watching the film, many decided to get a puppy of this particular breed. What was the name of the dog in the movie "The Mask"? Jim Carrey's character, bank employee Stanley Ipkiss, who had the ability to transform into a funny cartoon creature, gave his four-legged friend the unusual nickname Milo.
What should you consider if you decide to get such a puppy? What are the personality traits of this breed and how should it be raised? We will consider these and other questions in the article.
What breeds of dogs are in the film “Yolki Shaggy”
This film starred 2 dogs: Yoko, a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Fammy, Pirate, a girl Aisa of the border collie breed. The dogs turned out to be so capable that the footage with their participation was filmed without computer graphics. They carried out all the commands and tricks, not paying attention to the fuss around them. The Border Collie breed is considered one of the smartest. It was used as a herding dog in Scotland. Looks after the children in the family well, guards the territory, and loves to run. The dog is trainable, smart, quick-witted. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed has the same abilities and good memory. Loves to train, follow commands, and interact with people.
Which dog starred in the series "Bim"
The film group, speaking about Funtik, unanimously recalls the children's rhyme “during the journey the dog could grow up!” The Landseer dog (a relative of Newfoundlands) is still very young - only 1.5 years old. And during the filming, which began on the peninsula in mid-August, Funtik matured: he gained height and weight.
The lion's share of the scenes were filmed in Feodosia. It turns out that it is difficult to find decent food for a large dog in the local stores. Therefore, the giant dog had to be content with chicken heads.
Funtik loves to bite the ears of those who want to take a selfie with him, and that’s where the bloodthirstiness ends. A peaceful animal - a kind of dog-calf. True, he never managed to swim properly in the sea.
“You can’t take such a “baby” to the public beach, especially since after swimming at Funtik’s on the shore, the butterfly effect turns on: it starts shaking off the water and running around like crazy,” says Ekaterina Mamakina, dog handler. — And there is no time for trips to wild beaches - filming for 12 hours a day.
The artist from Funtik turned out well - he looks great and is disciplined. He will bark where he needs to, where he needs to run and who he needs to detain.
“In one of the episodes, Makar shoots back while being chased, while his dog partner holds the steering wheel with his fangs so that the car doesn’t fly off the road,” they said at the film set. “But it’s very difficult to force a dog to take something into its mouth that it doesn’t like, and we had to spend time filming this story.
They even resorted to tricks to ensure that Funtik relieved himself on the lawn of the luxurious mansion of a local crime boss. The whole group breathed a sigh of relief when he did this.
