As a mom of three black labs, I am always looking for decor with black labs incorporated into it.  One day I came across a picture of a lab wreath and it could not have been easier to copy.  I found a silhouette of a lab I liked and a half hour later my Costco wreath was ready to be hung.  Because I didn't want to waste time using wire to hold the dog in place, I used the tail and the nose tucked in the wreath to hold it. A standard size piece of wood will not fit the whole dog's tail.  I moved the file over so that the entire dog and body was cut, and then just let the tail run off the side of the wood. This was a last minute decision since I found the dog would have been too small if I had kept the whole tail.  It did not matter than the tail looked stumpy because the tail was used to tuck the lab into the wreath.
