Before you order
A few practical questions
Need help choosing a size or material? Send a photo of your entrance with your enquiry.
Ask about your project →How much does a pair of Foo Dog statues cost?
Each pair is quoted for its size, material, level of detail, pedestal and finish. Shipping also depends on the destination. Send a design reference, approximate height and delivery country or postcode so we can prepare a quote for your project.
Can you make a custom size or work from my reference photo?
Yes. Send the design you like and your preferred overall height. Please tell us whether that height includes the pedestal. We will discuss the proportions, material and details before confirming the order.
Do you supply a matching male and female pair?
Yes, a coordinated pair can be made. In traditional designs, the male is usually shown with a ball and the female with a cub. A single guardian can also be discussed if that is what your project needs.
Will I review the design before production?
We confirm the design, dimensions, material, finish and pedestal details for your order. Where a new model is needed, we agree on the modeling method and approval stages before production. This may involve a clay model or a 3D model, depending on the design.
Are stone and bronze Foo Dogs suitable for outdoor use?
Both materials can be used outdoors, with the material and finish selected for the setting. Tell us about coastal exposure or freezing winters when you enquire. Natural stone varies in color and markings, and bronze finishes can change as they weather.
How long do production and shipping take?
Timing depends on the size, material, design work and destination. We confirm the production schedule and estimated shipping time in your quotation. If you have an opening date or installation deadline, include it with your enquiry.
Can you quote delivery to the United States or another country?
Yes. Send your delivery country and postcode so we can check the shipping service and cost. Your quotation will state what the delivery service includes. Unloading, foundations and installation should be arranged locally unless specifically agreed otherwise.
Are Foo Dogs, Fu Dogs and Chinese guardian lions the same?
These names are commonly used for the same traditional guardian lion sculptures. For their symbolism, pairing and placement, read our Foo Dog placement guide.
