Help making a custom sewing pattern!?

I sew dog collars,bandannas and make dog crafts.

I need a dog mannequin to display some of my creations…problem is all the dog mannequins offered on ebay are for SMALL dogs. I need a XL size. Think life size size of a large lab.

I’m not a master seamstress rather a very beginning novice.I’ve only done a few stuffed crafts before so….
-Where can I find a pattern or alter a pattern to make a large stuffed dog mannequin?
-How hard would it be to make my own pattern?(likewise how hard would it then be to sew?)

Below is an example of the dog mannequin I like(just not the size)
I’d like my Mannequin to be at least 18″ tall and have a neck width of about 18-20″

ANY advice on where to find a pattern or how to alter a pattern? Or…any advice on creating my own pattern?
I’d even be willing to PAY someone to create a pattern or sew it.(contact me if this can be you…I have paypal)
