Leisal a Dachshund Puppy Grrl
By Nancy Dontigney
9 1/2 inches
Leisal is a little Dachshund in my Puppy Grrls series. She was created with short rust mohair. Her eyes are glass googly, her nose needle felted and her paws and inner ears are ultrasuede. She is five way jointed and filled with fiberfil. She also has some encased bb's in her tummy for weight. Leisal is wearing a doxie print dress made especially for her.

My Information:
Hi, I'm Nancy Dontigney of Dog Patch Critters.
When I was doing craft shows in the late 80's to early 90's, making muslin bunnies and small plush thread jointed bears, someone at a show suggested I make a mohair bear. I was also a Veterinary Technician and dog breeder during this time, thus the name "Dog Patch Critters".
Although I have been designing and making bears and other critters since 1993, I feel the new techniques, like needle felting and hand shading, that I've learned in the last 2 years have helped me truly express my sense of humor and creativity.
My critters tend toward the whimsical and most are 6"(15cm) to 12" (30cm). Although most are one of a kind, I occasionally do a small limited edition. I also like series, one of a kind with a theme. My current series is called "Puppy Grrls". Little girl dogs with dresses made with doggie prints.
All Dog Patch Critters come with a sewn in label and a signed, laminated hang tag.
Dog Patch Critters are adult collectibles and not intended for children.
