Maxx and Matilda welcome you to my next Pet Portraits In Charcoal Blog post! You can learn how you and your pet can become involved in your own Pet Portrait/Blog Post at the end of their story. Maxx and Matilda are owned by Kim and Alan from Niwot Colorado. Maxx is considered a “Yorkydoodle” by Kim, equal parts Yorky and Poodle. Matilda of course is an English Bulldog.
They make for a wonderful pair. Maxx is Kims dog, He is full of energy and was constantly running here and there during our photo session. Matilda was basically the opposite, although very interested and inquisitive, she was extremely laid back and pretty much stayed close by Alan. Both Kim and Alan told me that their respective dogs mirror their own characteristics perfectly.
Matilda actually came over to the States from England so she is a legit ENGLISH Bull Dog! Maxx was specially picked out by Kim from a friends litter. Matilda loves to sleep and Maxx loves to play with children and give them kisses. Both dogs love kids, and have a happy life spending the days at their neighborhood daycare.
The Yorkshire Terrier is considered a toy dog, the Poodle depending on whether it is the larger Standard, or smaller toy, also falls into the non sporting dog category. Maxx exhibits great traits from both his ancestors. The Yorky is very active and devoted to his master. He was bred for the show ring in England during the 1800’s and shows striking good looks and fluid movement. Few people except owners of show dogs go through the process, but there is an elaborate amount of grooming and coat care that these dogs go through for the ring. I guess they really do clean up nice!! The Poodle’s native land is not known. He is highly civilized and intelligent, is an excellent household pet and is also a protector of children. He can swim well and is a fine retriever…Who’d of thunk?
The Bulldog has made the most radical shift in Canine history, from being bred as a fighter to now being a gentle companion. This breed is renowned for his courage and tenacity. He also possesses a great dignity, strength and noble heart. As a guardian of property and children, few can match his worth. As you have read both of these dogs make for excellent pets and are wonderful family dogs. It was a pleasure to meet them and portray them in a Charcoal portrait.
