 The snow-white Kuvasz is Hungary's majestic guardian of flocks and companion of kings. A working dog of impressive size and strength, the imposing and thickly coated Kuvasz is a beautiful, smart, profoundly loyal, but challenging breed. I made this sculpture in a large scale. Posing in our Minnesota winter weather seemed the perfect fit for this beauty.

 A portrait of Jennie


You probably have dozens of photos in your cellphone of your dog doing something adorable.

But someday you might want to have an image of your best friend that's good enough to hang over the mantle.

That's when you want to commission a local artist like Kat Corrigan (katcorrigan.com) , Hannah Frick (hannahfrickart.com), Leslie Plesser (shuttersmack.com) or Kristin Williams (kristinwilliams.com) to do a portrait of your pooch.

You can even memorialize your pet as a miniature fur, fiber and wool sculpture done by artist Lucy Francis (lucyfrancisminiatures.com).

Costs run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on the project.

 Huck!

Huck comes from a show dog family. He's a specimen in this breed. I feel I captured his character in this piece.  

I hope you enjoy my Huck.

Meet the German Shepherd Dog

 I've made many GSD over the year. I must admit they're a favorite breed of mine. I've owned four myself, I find they're the most loyal handsome brilliant breed.

My dogs are not needle felted. When I started making my animals no one was needle felting animals.

These two beauties are memorial pieces from this winter. I hope you enjoy them. 

Visit my website for many past examples of my animals. I have a Sale page as well with a few dogs offered there. 

I hope you enjoy them.
