Finding dog breeds
Dalmatian
Just as dog lovers tend to gravitate toward a particular dog breed, vintage dog figurine collectors often decide to specialize in one breed of dog. Sometimes a collector may choose instead to specialize in a particular activity being performed by various breed of dogs. You will find several figurines of dogs in a sitting or squatting position. Breeds could include Spaniels in different sizes, German Shepherds in full alert, a standing Dalmatian or Greyhound, a Collie, a Dachshund or a Jack Russell Terrier. A vintage dog figurine of a collie or other working dogs is extremely popular. This reflects the popularity of the breed in years past. Although St Bernhards are considered working dogs, they are often shown in a more whimsical setting and have become a popular collector’s item.
Dinnertime for the dog
A dog with a bone is a popular subject for vintage figurines. A Puppy guarding a bone that is almost as large as its owner is whimsical in nature, but the dog sleeping near its dish is a great picture of contentment. The dog may be portrayed near or partially in its doghouse. As with other types of figurines, the size of the dog may vary from dainty miniatures to larger spotlight pieces. Figurines can be free standing or can be incorporated into pieces such as a cookie jar or a condiment holder.
