"Yapping Dogs" was unveiled at the 2012 Settlers West Miniature Show in Tucson, AZ and was an immediate sensation. “This Chiricahua Apache warrior is returning to camp down river with his pack horse laden with goods that he may have obtained in trade, but we will never know for sure,” explains Terpning. “Every camp had many dogs always present to complain or greet old friends upon their arrival. Both Cochise and Geronimo were Chiricahua and this band of Apache was the last to oppose the U.S. government’s control of their ancestral lands.”
