TIBETAN TERRIER SCULPTURE
“This sculpture was modelled on a Tibetan Terrier named Cody, and was one of my commissions auctioned by Battersea Dogs and Cats home to raise money for the charity.
Cody was attentive and enjoyed his treats, he was a beautiful dog with a fantastic coat and I chose a pose with the owner that showed off his lovely face. Having taken lots of measurements and photos I modelled him in a lying position, with his head tilted up a little to look at the viewer.”
This bronze tibetan terrier statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Lying Tibetan Terrier sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
10% of the proceeds from this bronze dog sculpture support ‘The Dogs Trust’ animal charity.

Which Material to Choose
Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.
Foundry Bronze – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

This sweet lifesized tibetan terrier statue is sculpted by the artist Tanya Russell, who is the UK’s pre-eminent dog sculptor. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the Lying Tibetan Terrier statue will go to the ‘Dogs Trust’, a charity that provides sanctuary and rehoming services for dogs in the UK and also lobbies for welfare policy changes all over the world.
The Lying Tibetan Terrier is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original clay tibetan terrier sculpture, taken from a mould. Your bronze dog sculpture can be cast in Bronze Resin or Foundry Bronze metal depending on which material you prefer.
How The Sculpture Was Made
I visited Cody and took lots of photographs of him in a variety of poses. I watched his expressions and mannerisms, and heard about the way he behaved at home with his family. After that, with his owners, I decided which pose would suit him best, then proceeded to model Cody in clay.
Once I’d sculpted Cody a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
