Maisie commissioned by The Royal Kennel Club
Maisie — Crufts Best in Show 2020
Wire Haired Dachshund
Champion Silvae Trademark
owned by Duncan and Kim McCalmont
Painting considerations: Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers so I included a toy badger, incidentally a Crufts toy. Her pet name Maisie means pearl and so I added a thin collar with a hanging pearl together with a small T trademark symbol.
