Hello everyone!!
Another dog I've added to my collection is this little copper plated spelter French Bulldog. The only way I knew it was copper plated spelter is that there is a tiny spot on the bottom of his foot that has a bit of copper plating missing and exposes the zinc spelter. He's very nicely detailed and just the size I like. He's dates back to the mid-1900's and still retains 99% of his copper plating. He measures 5 1/4" long and 3 1/4" tall.
Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!

Lovely figurine!Now ,about 75 years later french bulldogs look a bit different :they don't have a long tail and their back legs are different.And I don't claim it is good for them.
Thank you Ivonne!! And thank you for the love as well!!

As to Yvonne's comment.. Pugs have changed over the years too! They used to have a "snout" instead now their face looks like they've ran smack into a wall! They were bred that way to the point some need a vet to open their airways. So sad what we do to animals ok I'm done.
French bulldogs are the cutest of dogs and he's a wonderful piece Scott.. long tail and all! :)
Eileen,
Thanks for the kind comment! I've always wanted French Bulldog and I've always wanted a a Pug, but my son tells me that they tend to have respiratory issues, due to the way they were bred. So, we opted for Dachshunds instead.
