The American Kennel Club has announced that in the first time of their 125-year history, they will make available prints of their prestigious dog painting collection.

The initial offering is a limited quantity of 20 hand-embellished giclée prints of various breeds from some of the most renowned dog artists in history.  Sizes run from 8 by 10 inches to 6 by 10 feet. Prices range from $250 to $10,000 depending upon the size and framing.  Ultimately, the AKC along with their partner, the Meisner Gallery, plans to offer the complete portfolio of the collection to dog art enthusiasts.  I'll keep you posted as new artists and breeds become available.  For now, visit the AKC Gallelry and take your pick.

You may recall, John Emms's, Foxhounds and a Hunt Terrier on a Bench sold at Bonhams's Dog Art Sale last month for $66,000.  I know these are reproductions, but it might be fun to add an Emms to your collection.  He's very hot right now.

    That first one is such a classic pooch posture/expression.
