Was delighted when my friend Victoria asked me to do a portrait doll of her daughter’s dog – little Zoey is a Chihuahua mix of some kind with very attractive black and brown markings on her coat.

Being a Chihuahua lover myself (have two of my own), this was a fun project and hope to make more such dogs in the future.

She is a tad bigger than 1.5 inches high, is carved from Holly wood, and is 6 way elastic ball jointed – very poseable indeed!

She had a nice long chat with the other tiny dogs that live here, Toby and Peetie – and they all decided it was better to just sit on the floor this time so not to cause an controversy with someone who will not be named :)
