How to make a Bulldog with one 260Q Balloon

This was originally someone elses cat design (now the design I use as a Tiger), but by making it small and putting a Poodle's tail on it, it looks like a small dog. It is good for either a Bulldog, a Jack Russel Terrier or anything else small like that. When you are making lots of dogs it is nice to have some variation. The Design follows.

How to make a Balloon Poodle

This is a true classic of the balloon modelling world. The kids will ask for this one by name.  For details of how to blow the tail look at the video on how to make the Mutt.  

If I do this in pink then I use the following lines -

It's a poodle.

It's a poodle puppy

Do you think it is a particularly playful poodle puppy?

Do you know why I ask?

(Pointing to the feet)  If this is a particularly playful pink poodle puppy, then these are a pair of particularly playful pink poodle puppy paws.

Instructions are in the video below.

How to make a Sausage dog with one 260Q Balloon

Another classic for the beginners repertoire. This is made with exactly the same twists as the ordinary dog, but you give it a much longer body.

Balloon Puppy - one 260Q

A real little cute figure. This is the main dog that I hand out to children. It can also do double duty as a little dog. There are also a couple bits of business that you can do with this figure. I will discuss that in the videos dealing with business with the kids.  Have fun with this. On the whole it is a good variation to the basic dog. Instructions below.

The Mutt

The dog is the basic figure of balloon modlling. About one quarter of all the figures that I make are dogs. If all you can make is a dog, then make it in ten different colours. leave about 5-6 inches of balloon uninflated when you start.
