Companion puppy

for custom teddy #15










I am so glad I have a website where I can look up some of my past work ... like this puppy (it has been a few years since I've made one of these puppies ... I couldn't even remember what the adoption fee was).

The following description is copied from my Gallery Website:


Features of puppy

  • hand stitched vintage mink
  • designed to sit (5 inches)
  • can also stand on all fours
  • 7 inches when standing on two legs

  • leather and/or ultrasuede paw pads
  • wire armature in arms, legs, and tail
  • gently hand painted detailing
  • Adoption fee (for solid beige or brown puppies): $395 USD (plus shipping)

Custom Order #16

Special custom order for Pat ...
Laughing dog


This is a One Of A Kind dog for my long-time collector and friend, Pat.
Pat requested this a few years ago and I have to thank her for her patience.
I did have to make alterations to one of my rarely used dog patterns 
so I was not sure how it would turn out ... but I am pleasantly surprised with this dog that appears, at least to me, to be laughing.

*** Please don't ask for a custom dog if you are on my Custom Order Waiting List ... I have to restrict my Custom Order to teddies only due to the large backlog that I have for my custom heirloom service ***



Embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose.


Glass eyes
Ultrasuede tongue



Ultrasuede paw pads



Wire armature in arms and legs for gentle posing


6 joints including a 

Double jointed neck for a charming head tilt


Can stand on all four legs


Pat wanted a heart on the tummy ...


This is one of my rare larger dogs.
I originally designed my dogs as companions for my teddies bears, 
so my companion dogs are smaller next to sit next to my teddies


Standing height: 11 inches

Sitting height: 8 1/2 inches



Gently hand-painted detailing
