Dog Breeding As A Fine Art
(Long Endurance Performance)
1994 – 2014,
Different Venues.
Between 2004 and 2014, I repeated the same performance at different dog shows and other canine exhibitions around the world where I handle the Mexican Ancient Dog called Xoloitzcuintle, always introduced to the judges as Cultural Ambassadors of the suppressed colonized cultures of Mexico. *This project was possible thanks to the interest and support from collectors such as Tina and Magnus Svensson of Sweden.
