Dog Weathervane, Belgian Malinois Dogs Playing with Bird
This copper Belgian Malinois Dogs weathervane features two beloved Malinois and was commissioned by their owners, Ellen and James Bond. Each dog in the sculpture piece was designed to represent the personality of the individual dog. The vane was destined for the customer’s second home, a mountain retreat in the hills above the San Francisco Bay Area. We used a combination of palladium and gold leaf to give accent to the copper. The dog’s ears and muzzles were done in palladium leaf, the collars (on which each dog’s name was stamped), the quail’s beak and top knot and the wording were done in gold leaf. The hillside beneath the dogs was done in brass.
Because each vane is made to order, for an additional fee, customers can provide photographs of their pets for a customized weather vane depicting their favorite dog. Glass eye color (included in the price of the vane) can be selected to accommodate a variety of dog eye colors.
James and Ellen sent us photos (below) of their recently installed weathervane along with a note that read, “Yes, we finally got the weathervane up at the cabin and it looks fabulous! I look at it and remember my dear Rusty. And watch Hannah dismiss all birds from the yard. And think that the cabin is probably appropriately named.” They were nice enough to give us permission to put them on our website.

In the United States, Germany and other European countries, the Malinois is bred primarily as a working dog for protection, bomb and drug detection and police work. This is not only because they can be aggressive when they need to be but also because they are fast learners of new tasks. This dog needs to be properly trained from the start of his life. Abusive, harsh or overly permissive training may result in a dog without the proper attitudes and because of its size and aggressiveness may harm people or other creatures. This is a working dog for an experienced dog owner. Most police forces have switched to Malinois in favor of all other breeds due to the breed's intense "prey drive". The Malinois is unmatched in terms of toughness and focus, and is not a dog recommended for inexperienced or even "average" dog owners
