Best of Breed copper award panel, hand-hammered copper relief. Made for dog show exhibitors and handlers who want the win permanently on the wall, breed clubs and specialty show committees looking for an award that outlasts every ribbon and trophy, and dog owners who simply want their breed in copper — a portrait, a gift, a tribute. Custom size, 15 finishes, made to order.
A full-profile breed portrait in raised copper relief, arched over by laurel branches, with your custom text set in copper below — dog’s name, show title, year, club, owner. Every letter, every leaf, every line of the portrait shaped by hand.
Two versions of this panel:
- Show award — BEST OF BREED header, breed portrait, laurel branches, full show text below (registered name, show, year, club, owner)
- Personal portrait — same design, adapted for any dog: breed portrait, laurel branches, your dog’s name. No show credentials needed.
