How about a Windstone Dog . Maybe a chow chow or pug that would go along nicely with the oriental dragons, etc.
I stay away from dogs. They’ve been done as good as they get by Sandicast. United Design and many other companies did them too.
However we recently found an old box full of the cartoony scratching dogs that we had in our original line of animals, when we started Windstone. I might paint a few of those.
