Vinny

GCHG CH Grabo Testarossa Formula For Drama ROM
Colored Bull Terrier

Vinny is a remarkable Colored Bull Terrier, bred by Krista Prater-Piles and Franne Berez, and owned by Grace Thomas and Bob Thomas.

His name, Formula For Drama, could not be more fitting. Bull Terriers naturally carry a certain sense of drama — strong, humorous, confident, and a little stubborn in the best way. Vinny’s presence in the ring is a perfect reflection of that spirit.

He has left his mark on major stages including the Silverwood Trophy, Westminster, and the AKC National Championship. For me, this sculpture is not only about capturing his structure and breed type, but also the expression, attitude, and presence that make Vinny himself.

Thank you to Grace and Bob Thomas for their trust and commission, giving me the opportunity to sculpt such an outstanding and characterful dog.

This piece is a tribute to Vinny, to a great show dog, and to the spirit of the Bull Terrier breed.
