Best of Breed 5 Just when I think that we have all of the dog boxes we could possibly
want or need along come a few others that are new and some some that
we
had some time ago and retired, but, like me, they won't stay retired.
Maybe that's because they are working breeds? So here are some more
dog
boxes, a category of which we never seem to have enough. By the way,
there is one other yet to come, a Llaso Apso. We have had a few requests
for
that breed but until now there has never been a Limoges box version of
that dog. It will arrive shortly and appear on this page ASAP - see
item
Z below. Sorry, the following item is by Special Order Only. X. The Springer Spaniel Box. Several years ago I asked Rochard to make us a Springer Spaniel Box. I sent them photographs and then waited for the box. When it finally came it was not a Springer, it was a Cocker painted to look like a Springer. Well, in those days I was lucky to get anything that I asked for from Rochard so I took it without a word. Artoria has made a Springer. His body conformation, docked tail, polka dotted muzzle, size are all correct although his coat does not have the deep feathering on the withers and chest. Still, he is the only Springer that I have seen so here he is. At his feet a game bird he has just retrieved. Inside, another game bird. The closing, a feather. Retail: Upwards of $205.00. Our price: $184.90. Y. Kaiser Wilhelm otherwise known as Willie, The German Shepherd Box. This wonderful dog is shown here as a youngster, his paws still heavy and not quite as slender as they will be when he gets a bit older. His head is noble and well shaped and his coat is handsome. The fur on his chest is done in relief and the feathering of the dark into the lighter color on his back is beautifully painted. His face is alert and the eyes startlingly realistic. German Shepherds were used extensively in the both World Wars as guard dogs and for search and rescue work They are used still as guard dogs and as dogs for the blind. They are extremely intelligent animals and can be trained to perform the task at hand ignoring all distractions. Retail: Upwards of $159.00. Our price: $143.90. Z. Lana the Glamourous, Llasa Apso Box. Bred in Tibet and used as an inner guard dog at the palace of the Dali Llama, the breed remained in Tibet until 1935 when a pair was given as a gift to an American couple by the Dali Llama. They are small but sturdy and have an uncanny instinct for knowing friend from foe. They have a very regal air about them and seem to see themselves as large dogs with personality to match. It is said that when a Llasa looks in the mirror, he sees a lion. Our name for this one, of course, is because of her very long blond hair. Fortunately, ours does not require the grooming that a real Llasa requires. Lana is carrying a love letter in her mouth, inside the message, "I Wuv You", twined hearts for the clasp. Retail: Upwards of $169.00. Our price: $152.90. NEW and Gorgeous! AA. Lady of the Lake, a Yellow Labrador Retreiver Box. At the waters edge just waiting for the retrieve command, this beautiful lady is alert and ready to work. Did you know that they often lie in the water while waiting to retreive? Around her all of the fauna that one finds in marshy areas. Inside, cat tails and ducklings, the clasp a swan. Retail: Upwards of $149.00. Our price: $134.90. BB. Lancaster, The Black Labrador Retriever Box. This is the identical box as Item AA., the only difference being color. Retail: Upwards of $149.00. Our price: $134.90.
