A friend of mine who was an Akita fancier told me that long ago in Japan, it was not uncommon when a very treasured Akita would die, the owners might have the dog skinned (think bear rug) and then display it as a wall hanging, though I can find nothing to verify this. Personally, this would appeal to me more than having a dog stuffed, but I don't think I would ever have either done, I have my dogs cremated as I will be, one day.

Schutzhundfan,
I just checked out that site and it is pretty cool, although a bit expensive! Still, I like the idea much better than having a pet stuffed. When our beloved stallion died, I saved some of his tail hairs and had a beautiful necklace made from some of it.
Thanks for sharing that site. I am saving for future reference.

If the dog was noble and did something rare once or twice like save a life. or make me a millionaire... then maybe but a plain jain dog is headed towards a pine box..........

Didn't Roy Rogers have Trigger stuffed? Taxidermy <sp?> isn't really stuffing the animal anywyay. It's just using the hide over a premade form.

When my brother's fiance died suddenly, he had her cremated. Her dog died a few months before and she had him cremated, she was going to put his ashes in one of those special glass globes. He took both sets of ashes and scattered them on their favorite mountainside where they used to sit and watch the sunset together.
I don't want to think about my bubbies going yet.

In Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving the family dog, Sorrow, dies and Frank, one of the sons, has him stuffed. Sorrow's reappearance at Christmas causes granps Iowa Bob to suffer a fatal heart attack.
Would I consider having a dog stuffed? Yeah, I'm kinda thinking about it. I could have him mounted on a wheeled platform, put a rope on it and drag him along with me from room to room. He could come outside and watch me mow the grass or clear snow. At night, he could maybe sit at the head of the stairs and scare nasty evil burglars away–silently, of course. Maybe I could have the taxidermist mount tiny little LED lights inside his skull and make his eyes glow, a different colour for each season and on Independence Day they could maybe flash. Wouldn't that be awesome?
And if not in a sitting position, perhaps they could have him rear up on his hind legs so I could lean him up against the kitchen counter since his most favourite activity is counter surfing. He'd sort of look like those silly stuffed kids people put in their front windows. And when the JWs ring the door bell all I'd have to do is lean him up against the storm door, teeth bared, tongue hanging out. I'd want some sort of remote controlled barking mechanism, a tape recorder in his (empty) chest cage, to really give solicitors a fright.
Oh yeah, I'm thinking about it, you betcha!

I've given it about as much consideration as I would to stuffing any of my other relatives...and no, I wouldn't.

Yes Trigger was stuffed. ...along with Misty of Chincoteague Island. Sadly the fur deteriorates and they look like crap after a while.
