fox-terrier-02a.jpg020-on-hand.jpg010-playful.jpg008-left-side.jpgHi, here's my latest creation - one of the very few to come out of the Bears-a-Bruin household this last month or two!

This little fox terrier is a commission and stands about 6.5" tall in his mohair feet. His patches were hand-dyed using Kool-Aid, and I have to say it was a very straightforward process thanks to all the hints and tips that have been kindly offered in this forum! This little doggy carries quite a weight, mostly in his rear-end for balance, and has wired ears for the cute expression....

I hope you like him - he's the first mohair dog I've made, pattern and all. I was trying to capture the look of a dog I found on the net, and I'll post that photo too if I can find it.

Thanks for looking!!!

Helena

Sooooo cute..."my" doggy is a fox terrible (a smooth coat though not a wire hair) and I have always wanted to create a mini version of her for my mum but never had the courage to try.

Yours is so cute!!  More doggies please!

Thankyou everyone - I'm actually pretty happy with him which is a rare thing for me to feel about my own creations!!!!  bear_tongue  I'm definitely going to create more mohair pups in the future. He was a lot of fun.

Melissa, you should give it a go too. I'm sure you'd make a lovely doggy!
