Rarer than any breed at Westminster, a circa-1900, 39-inch-wide Black Forest carved tableau of a St. Bernard dog and pups took the blue ribbon in Florida at Auctions Neapolitan and Gallery's Jan. 23 sale when it sold for $30,590 against an estimate of $6,000-$8,000.
Close-up of the mother dog's face attributed to Swiss artist Walter Mader who carved only dogs. How very beautiful. Have a great weekend. Rosemary

Rosemary;
I was in a clients home last week; she had 2 concrete collumn like pedestals that were the top of a lab type of dog at the top and the rest of the collumn went down to feet like bottom. ( hard to describe; I may ask to snap a pic next trip) anyhow this reminded me of your dog statuary post.
These were on the entry way with a piece of beveled glass on the top, then other doggie things on the top.
I just love dog accessories!
Leslie
