HELP NEEDED!     Can you identify this model?         

I have been collecting model dogs for about 6 years now. It started when my beloved border collie Vännie passed away, and I wanted to get a portrait model of her. In Sweden it is very hard to find any nice dog figurines, and we do not have any BFA-, North Light-, Castagna nor any Leonardo dealer in our country. Well, thanks to blessed eBay I got my eyes on a beautiful BCfigurine and ended up as the lucky winner! The model was the Leonardo BC you can see at the top of this page. I named her Jet from the grandmother of my beloved friend Vännie.

Soon I found another nice figurine from Leonardo collection - the two Bcpuppies in a wheelbarrow. I was once again lucky so Piff and Puff entered my home. I like the Leonardo dogs very much - they are so detailed and they also come with a nice price! My third and fourth Leonardo´s are the superdupersweetie Ace - a Basset Hound and the beautiful BC Bess, who is my very best modeldog in my own opinion. My fith Leonardo BC is a sitting girl with the same nice look in her eyes as Bess. The name is Tess - in honor of Flisas sister Tessie.

Another favourite brand is the Castagna Collection. I only have one of them, the wonderful BC Bonnie, whom I got as a gift from my friend Sophie. She has repainted Bonnie to be a lookalike to Flisa. This is a stunning model! In the Castagna collection there is also a sitting BC that I will get hold of, eventually.

I am the lucky owner of one North Light BC - Chip - who is another eBaybargain, and I also have one BFA - the Sweet Dreams, which is a sleeping BC puppie and her friends the cat and mouse. Cute little thing that was affordable for me, named Beeffie.. I would love to fill the shelves with BFA´s but I have to earn my million first...

Just recently I have discovered Sherratt & Simson and have two models from their collection, both eBayfindings: the very nice standing BC who´s name now is Simson(!) and the most cute puppies you could think of. I named the puppies Sam and Sally and I really love this sweet little figurine, Sally looks very much like Flisa when she was a puppie. The Sherratt & Simson has a gorgeous collection - I have to mention their guineapigs - so very natural and wonderful figurines. Affordable too! I will get the S&S Jack Russel pup as well in the future, I just can´t decide which one...

Breyer dogs? Of course, and in 2004 I finally got my Breyer BC named Fay. I also have the Jack Russel Sickan and the Welsh Corgi Hawkeye. Both are always keen to assist as props when I take photoes of my modelhorses. I also have a Bullyland Bullterrier named Bull (sigh!), he is a bit shy and prefer to pose for pix whilst doing something useful. I noticed that the Schleich animals include a nice range of dogs, probably I will get the BC of those. It looked very nice in picture, but I need to check it for real first before deciding.

I won´t forget my sweet Sis - a relly nice BC resin of unknown brand. I got her from my sister. Wow... am I bad at naming dogs or what...

Latest additions to my kennel is two awesome BCs, unfortunately I don´t know the maker of any of them. First we have a huge model looking like a quite mature male - Mick - who is 14 cm tall from paw to eartip. He was an eBaybargain as well as Jedi. To show you just how the BC charisma is absolutely fantasticly captured in this mold I have put up a picture of her other side as well. She is just lovely!
