Bio:

Finnick is a London-based trick-trained Japanese Spitz with a distinctive skillset and a natural on-camera presence, best known for his confident and crowd-pleasing skateboarding performances. Combining precision training with a playful personality, Finnick has developed a strong reputation as a reliable and engaging animal performer, capable of delivering consistent results in a variety of environments.

His achievements include Best in Show and Best Trick at the 2024 Greenwich Dog Show, alongside Best Trick titles at both the 2022 Chiswick and 2022 Marylebone Dog Shows. These accolades reflect not only his technical ability but also his focus, discipline, and consistency under pressure.

On a skateboard, Finnick is responsive, controlled, and visually captivating. He is comfortable working in busy public settings, remaining focused despite noise, movement, and distractions. His skateboarding sessions often attract attention from passersby, with audiences stopping to watch and film as he performs, demonstrating his natural appeal and suitability for public-facing campaigns.

Finnick’s growing profile has led to recognition from organisations including Crufts, Battersea Power Station, Quintain Living at Wembley Park, and the Metropolitan Police. Sponsored by Penny Skateboards, he embodies a strong brand alignment with lifestyle and urban culture.

Highly food motivated and eager to work, this trick-trained Japanese Spitz responds quickly to direction and is able to repeat behaviours with consistency and precision. His temperament, trainability, and proven performance record make him well suited to film, television, and commercial projects requiring both skill and reliability.
