The subjects of these adorable products were several of Animal Haus' chihuahuas. The chihuahuas in the painting are all owned by Animal Haus. Left if Billy the Kid of Animal Haus (also known as "Dude"), middle is Hell's A Blazen Around the World (also known as "Travis") when he was around a year old, and right is Little Leo of Animal Haus (call name "Leo") as a very young puppy. The original painting was created by Barrie Barnett using photos of Animal Haus' dogs as the basis of the artwork. The painting was then used to produce several products offered by Fiddler's Elbow Inc. These include a door mat, a mouse pad, and a mug. The mug and mousepad can be sold as a set also. These are not products offered for sale by Animal Haus, but since our dogs were the subjects, it is a great accomplishment and bragging rights. Dude is the father and grandfather to many of our bloodline, and Travis is also one of our current sires.
