Our Double Vizsla Dog Weathervane design was originally commissioned by a couple who wanted to memorialize their beloved companions, Dexter and Indy. They provided many great photos of the pair doing what they loved to do most: running outdoors, scenting and tracking. While this portrait vane was a new design, we can also personalize many of our designs, animal and human, to become portraits, with the aid of your pictures. Our fabulous vane makers have even created portraits of boats and a tractor!
This is an all copper weather vane sculpture piece. It is fabricated in swell-bodied style, and optional gold leaf was requested for the collars, creating an eye catching detail. The collars have bone shaped tags engraved with the dog’s names. They have brown glass eyes. There are ‘lucky pennies‘ from important years sealed inside the dog’s bodies. This customer also wanted to have some larger memorabilia sealed into the ground at the dog’s feet. Whenever possible, allowing for the physical constraints of size and weight, we try to include such personal items. The ultimate criteria in these instances is that the weather vane function, and be strong and sturdy with the additional weight.
Every one of our weather vanes is made to order. Please don’t hesitate to call if there is an existing design in our catalog that captures what you are looking for. We are happy to discuss any modifications that would make it exactly yours.
