Dreyfuss was mostly played by a dog named Bear. However, Bear’s brother Julio occasionally stood in as Dreyfuss, as well as, in later seasons, his son Bingo. What breed of dog is Dreyfuss? Bear’s father was a Golden Retriever mix, and his mother a St. Bernard.
The Westons' large dog Dreyfuss also prominently features as a member of the household. In 1992, Kristy McNichol, who played Barbara, left the show and Lisa Rieffel joined the cast to play the third Weston daughter, Emily. Her character had previously not been shown onscreen but had been mentioned as being away at college.
