Butte County Kennel Club
2006 All Breed Show Trophies
This was an interesting project to celebrate the Chinese
Year of the Dog
for an all breed show. Rather than select a
representative breed for each group Nan referenced ancient Chinese
bronzes and silk paintings and drew inspiration from the traditional
Foo Dog
. Of course each piece is a unique original creation
to be cherished.
Butte County Kennel Club Show was held in Gridley California on Sunday, June 18, 2006.
