You can give it a variety of poses, it can rotate, lift and tilt head, sit, lie down, stand on four legs or try to climb two legs, arching her back and make any pose, the same as a real puppy.

Milo has been entirely designed and hand crafted by myself. I always sew my creations by hand, using my own original designs. Milo  measures about 20 cm from the point of his nose to his bottom. His tail measures about 15 cm. He can either sit or stand on all fours in a realistic body posture. For Milo  I chose two tones of luxury faux furs: white for his belly and tail end, light beige for the rest of his body. Inner ears and paw pads are made with ultra suede.  His clear light brown eyes are of German glass. His face features are needle felted, his nose is sealed and shaded. His cotton whiskers are waxed. Extensive scissor sculpting was done to ears, face and limbs. Milo’s face, body, limbs and tail have been patiently oil shaded.  Milo has an internal wiring connecting his  head and body, which gives him a lot of posing possibilities. Also his limbs and tail are wired. Milo is two ways cotter- pin jointed (hind legs). He has been stuffed with sheep wool and encased white decorative gravel to add some weight.  Milo owns an embroidered felt ball and wears a removable felt collar with a bell. Both I designed and crafted for him.
