If you want to use a large breed dog, you'll need to ensure you have the space to display your dog statue. The good news is that you can use any breed of dog and any life-size statute to enhance the appeal of your area. You'll also need to consider the material type to ensure the statue you choose is good for the location where you'll be putting your figure.
