This Goldendoodle in Playbow with Squirrel Weathervane was first commissioned by a couple of Pinot wine grape growers, who wanted portrait weather vanes of their two dogs who have  ‘overseen’ operations on the vineyard through the years. This one is Datka, a black Goldendoodle. The copper sculpture piece has been left natural to darken as it weathers over time. The other is  Lucca, a yellow Goldendoodle. Optional gold leaf  has been applied to convey the white coat of Lucca.

All of our past customers enjoy a 10% discount on subsequent weather vane orders. But in this case, both weather vanes were included in the first order, qualifying for a 10% discount on both! This discount is applied with full payment on both vanes.

Datka is crafted in detailed swell-bodied style. His glass eyes are brown. His copper collar has a heart-shaped tag inscribed with his name. On the horizontal tube is an inscription that captures his nature, ‘I’ll stay with you for all of time’.  There are ‘Lucky Pennies’ from important dates to the family affixed inside the weather vane and on the ends of the copper tube, there is one from the year of his birth on one end and on the other end an infinity symbol.

You might notice little metal ‘ears’ above the directionals. These are security devices. Because these vanes were to be mounted in a very windy location their addition seemed prudent.

*The optional custom directionals are dog paws, and so cute. It was such a fun idea and our artisans enjoyed creating them. Handcrafting custom directionals can take time, sometimes almost as long as the weathervane itself! Call us for a quote.

Because all of our weathervanes are made to order, we can personalize this design or any other to become a weather vane distinctly yours.
