Being Chinese guardians--they add so much character to a space. The new dogs do not seem to have as much positive energy as the antique or even vintage "guys" as I refer to them. Each set has its own individual character and energy.

G's is porcelain, but another part of our group went to the province where the Foo dogs originated.
