I lost my old dog last week at the grand old age of 15, so I've put my other project on hold for a bit as I'm making a model 'memory dog' of him. It is coming along nicely and I'm considering putting a mouth on him, however not only have I not done a mouth on one of my dogs before so it's not something I have any experience of, the fur is black so I'm not even sure it'll even show to be worth trying  bear_ermm  . Does anybody know of anything that would be noticeable but realistic? Or am I just giving myself unnecessary work?

The most obvious way to me would be to make an open-mouth dog, but if you're making a dog with its mouth closed, here are some links you might want to look at.  http://www.fiestatoy.com/productcatalog … ed-animals, http://www.fiestatoy.com/productcatalog … ed-animals, http://www.fiestatoy.com/productcatalog … friesian-h, https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/ … rt=mozilla, https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/ … rt=mozilla, https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/ … rt=mozilla   The last link show a black cat with the mouth embroidered using white yarn.  Hope this gives you some ideas.

Thank you for those links, after re-looking at my dog I don't think there's any point in adding a mouth, as it simply won't show up against such a dark fabric.
