Description

Anyone would be thrilled to have this wonderful handmade stuffed German shepherd dog by Kosen, the German company renowned for the craftsmanship of its lifelike products.  This traditional black and tan shepherd stands at attention at 11 inches high, and 14 inches from nose to tail. His ears are erect, his dark eyes alert, and the silver tag on his training collar declares his name, "Whistle".  Most importantly, this dog is proudly wearing a gorgeous offset leather harness and leash handmade by wildlife artist Hava Hegenbarth.  It is an authentic replica of the harnesses worn by working Seeing Eye dogs, rendered in exquisite detail.  


A wonderful gift for a special child or a collector!
