Have you ever considered using a rat for the small detail? Rats are good chewers and fairly trainable, and aren't as distracted as dogs, so you can keep them chewing longer. Or are you purist and use dogs strictly? GROG cannot afford too many dogs to carve, so if you had to choose only one kind of dog, which would you suggest?
