- What he's been up to: The 200-pound St. Bernard, who was voted Favorite Film Dog in 2010, slobbered into everyone's hearts in Beethoven and Beethoven 2. After which, Chris went to live on a farm where trainer Teresa Miller said he enjoyed a long retirement of "being lazy and drolly and hanging around the house.".
- Chris, the dog playing "Beethoven," was a two-year-old pure-bred St. Bernard. In addition, eight dogs functioned as stunt doubles, understudies and stand-ins, while sixteen puppies of various sizes were used to portray "Beethoven" from his first appearance as a tiny puppy through his growth.
- Chris had already fathered a fair few pups by the time Beethoven hit cinemas.
- Grandfather of Ben.
