I knew a guy that had his favorite dog mounted. What do think you think about it? I myself have mixed feelings.

A lot of folks do it. I currently reside in Maryland and it is against the law to perform taxidermy on domestic animals. Which to me is just about as strange as having your pet mounted...I don't see the big deal either way. I don't think I would have my coondog mounted. I don't get the problem with mounting a longhorn steer for the local steakhouse restaurant. But you cant do either in this state.

This dog was mounted in a treeing position. I never saw it but alot of other guys did.

Anybody who would have their pet mounted is about a selfish as a person can get.

Personal choice but dead is dead & memories are good.
My favorite is on the Garmin or the bench , etc..

Check THIS out:

www.perpetualpet.net (Freeze-dried pets)

Be sure to check out the photo gallery on that website; those animals sure do look alive !!!

Someone I know took her (deceased) dog in & had this process done. It's not done by a taxidermist, & they don't skin the pet. They use special equipment to gradually remove all moisture content, & the process takes a few months to do.

My friend paid $500 for her Miniature Pinscher to be done, several years ago. I see from the website price list that it costs a bit more now, but nowhere near as much as I would have thought.

My friend said she is very happy with the job they did on her dog, but then, she went out & bought a NEW puppy of a different breed.

Sounds a little too creepy for me...
