    MIND??? Cecil Baird takes up 10 times that much space with his requoting everyone who tell him he's an idiot. Your work is exceptional. Thanks for sharing. Do you sell it or is it simply for personal enjoyment?

    Snowwolf,

    Nice red nose pup! Is that Bob Wallace bloodline? I had bred and shown Wallace and Colby's for years when I was younger.

    Regards,
    Mary

    Mary, thank you so much for the compliment! I truly love my girl, Diablo, however I unfortunately do not know of her bloodlines. I had gone into a pet store that I used to frequent before I began breeding my own snake food, and they told me they had a free puppy. I went back and looked at her (she was in the back room, away from everyone), and the crate was filthy, tiny and she had NO food or water (one reason why i quit buying from them was their low-quality care of their animals, and i simply went there from time to time to say a "hello" to the older owner of the shop and try to convince her in a nice way to improve). I snatched her up. It isn't like I was supporting the shop, as I didn't pay them anything and they rewarded ME by letting me take a very sweet, loving pup. They didn't know anything about her. She had been left in a box outside of the shop one day.

    Regardless, she's a great dog. :) In this picture I'm using of her, she was younger...I believe this pic was from November '06. She'll be 1 year old on the 13th of this month (estimated, of course). Thanks again. She'll be happy to receive this compliment. ;D

    Reghu, if you start selling these, have you decided on a price range, yet? Would you do custom work? I think you'd get alot of takers. :)

    Thank you very much doctor for the link...
    Snow, frankly speaking, I hardly have any idea about the market and scope
    of these kind of products. Though you all were very kind enough to appreciate and encourage
    my works, I have no idea how good they are when compared to similar already available products.
    I need great help and advise from you experienced people. I request you all to help me decide
    the price range too....kindly advise..
    yes I would like to do custom works also..more interested in bigcats beautiful rare antelopes etc

    Reghu, these things would sell well around college towns who have these animals as their mascots. I can only imagine how quickly Wolverines would sell in Michigan, but the tigers would go quickly in Auburn, Alabama and in South Carolina for Clemson. I'd be interested in the price range as well. Everyone has friends who already have "everything" and the craftsmanship on these things would certainly fill the bill for them.
