Well-known Canadian Artist MIA LANE
saw Tanner at the 2500+ entry Caledon
All-breed conformation/obedience Dog Show
at the Toronto International Centre Dec.'99
and has chosen her as the Chocolate Lab subject
 for her head study artwork!
 She commented... "Tanner is all
that a Labrador should be.
 People will see her portrait & say,
Now That's A Lab!"
 We couldn't agree more, and are immensely
 proud of our girl, and honoured
by this gesture!

Quote from Mia Lane:
"I am quite fussy about choosing a model.
I like the animal to have"animation"
and good expression, but also be "typy"
- exhibiting good breed characteristics.
This is where I do
some research on the breed -
talk with breeders and look at many
examples of the breed and books on them.
Touching them and feeling their bone
structure also helps to reinforce my
understanding of a breed."
