I'm not sure what parts and pieces were welded together to make this great little dashschund, but I'd guess the body is a copper plumbing fitting of some sort, which was trimmed and shaped at one end to give him an open mouth, and then ears and eyes and legs and tail nailed and/or welded on. I love whoever put such effort into making this guy, and must say he feels like quite a special, quiet charming little thing.

4 1/16" l including tail (2 7/8" long not including tail); 2 3/8" t (1 1/8" t not including tail); 1" w. Very good condition with a great patina, and stands up straight and sturdy on its feet..
