Chinese New Year 2018 Origami Dog Extravaganza!



Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 2018 is the year of the dog so it’s a
great opportunity to take a look at a bunch of awesome origami dogs.

First up is this incredible doberman. The colour change in the design
is fantastic and this looks really great with brown and black paper.



Here’s a fantastic little chihuahua. I love the different colour of the eye and nose.

Eric Vigier designed this quite excellent dog and folded it specially for 2018. I especially like the little tongue.

This Dalmatian makes fantastic use of colour change so you end up with black spots everywhere.

Here’s a cute little Welsh Corgi and this design again makes fantastic use of a colour change.

Katsuta Kyohei designed this fantastic Pomeranian. It’s not a very complex model but it has lots
of character and you can definitely tell what it is.

Satoshi Kamiya has one of the most famous dog designs. I especially like how soft this one looks with the choice of paper here.

This is an absolutely incredible design that looks very life-like.

Hiroaki Kobayashi designed this excellent Shiba Inu again with a really nice colour change. Lost of these dogs
have great colour changes incorporated in the design. To get the full effect you need to use two-coloured paper.

This husky isn’t too complex but it’s quite cute and has a lot of character.

Next is this quite excellent looking poodle.

Yoo Tae Yong also designed this fantastic pug and it’s probably the best origami pug design I’ve seen. Beautiful photo here as well.

Shiba Inus are pretty awesome so here’s another one with a cute little scarf. The face on this one is very well done.

This next one isn’t technically a dog but it looks so great and it’s pretty close so I’m going to include it.

Hiroaki Kobayashi also designed this excellent Boston Terrier. This one is folded from 3 square sheets of paper.

Here are two very excellent looking French Bulldogs. Hiroaki Kobayashi has designed a bunch of really
great looking origami dogs. These ones are also folded from three squares of paper.

Here’s Hiroaki Kobayashi’s take on a Pug. It’s folded from 2 squares of paper and the colour changes here are really great.

Here’s two more dogs from this series of designs by Hiroaki Kobayashi. These are each folded from 3 squares of paper

I had to include one more picture of all of Hiroaki Kobayashi’s dogs together.
The title of this image on Flickr is “Ugly Cute Dogs” which I think is very appropriate.

J.W. Park designed this fantastic American Bully. The colour change with the white paper on
the underside of the model looks really great.
