Bat Eared Boxer:

For most of my life I have been a professional but part-time woodcarver/ sculptor, earning my living as a civil servant and lately as a computer consultant. In 1995, I made a break and started on the road to taking a B.A. in Fine Art.It was an exciting road especially the 6 months I spent as an exchange student in Richmond, Virginia, USA. There I met American carvers and joined in with their club activities. The design for this carving evolved from the shape of the log. That shape had defeated a fellow carver, who gave me the wood and challenged me to do SOMETHING. I took one branch off and gained a symmetry that allowed me to carve the dog. Perhaps one day natural selection will produce this breed and Crufts will accept it.
