Porch Puppies 1000 Piece Puzzle by P.D. Moreno

The Porch Puppies 1000 Piece Puzzle from White Mountain captures artist P.D. Moreno's lakeside-retreat scene, where a weathered porch crowds with Labrador, Beagle, Golden Retriever, and other puppy breeds all jostling for shade and space on the decking. White Mountain Puzzles has been producing puzzles in New Hampshire since 1978, with a catalog that leans toward Americana, dog-and-cat scenes, and seasonal themes that match the rhythms of New England life. Porch Puppies fits squarely into the dog-portrait corner of the catalog that has become a White Mountain signature, from White Mountain Puzzles.

• Finished size: 24 x 30 inches
• 1000 precision-cut pieces
• Lakeside-porch scene with multiple puppy breeds painted by P.D. Moreno

Dog lovers building a puzzle library that leans toward animal scenes will find Porch Puppies hits the warm-and-busy mark that the genre prizes, and gift-givers shopping for a first puzzle for a dog-loving puzzler will get an easy-yes pick that presents well in the box. The lakeside summer feel also keeps the puzzle in season for warm-weather puzzling rather than tying it to the winter holidays. The 24 by 30 inch finished size also matches a standard White Mountain trim, which makes framing simpler if the puzzler decides to display the finished build long-term. The breadth of dog breeds in the scene also gives owners of any specific breed a chance to spot their own dog on the porch.
