Nicely done. I like the use of hinges for the eyes. How stable is the head?

Very stable. It's weighted in the back because the head is naturally
nose-heavy. I made sure of that, because I build the head first.

My brickshelf folder has some build pics if you're interested:

Did you use a 4x4 turntable there as well?

Yep, that's how I made the head so it can rotate.

Just an idea, would tiles on the top part of his collar help keep the head
stable? Now you need his red dog house to go with. ;)

That's exactly what I did for the collar. It makes the movement smooth :)

Btw, I ran the idea of the dog house past my husband, and he said that
we don't have any room to put it in that scale :)

I look forward to the bride and groom sculptures.

I'll make sure I post 'em then :) Thanks for your thoughts.
