On page 50 under the section on dogs, at the bottom left hand corner a grey and white dog has been shown as a Chow Chow. It is in fact a Keeshond. These dogs were used as guard dogs on Dutch canal boats.
A new addition. This Fluffy Chow Chow is in his section of a Dog Show kennel awaiting judging. The kennels comprise 1 x 6 and 2 x 3 sections, each with a fine chain to keep them in place. I think this one has certainly won a prize, but where is his rosette ?
I love this Forest Toys cat waiting for the mouse to reappear from the nibbled feed sack. This is the only known pose for a FT cat, unless you know otherwise. From my book which can be seen in my shop – go to rockfordtoys.co.uk
Both these Forest Toys Indian and African elephants are happy to share a watering hole in such hot weather. The babies come in a variety of sizes and poses as well as the adults. Their tusks are made of lead.
Something suitable for the hot weather perhaps? rider and pony taken from my book although I have to admit the ball (if that is the correct word) isn’t original.
Another one from my book the Forest Toys of Brockenhurst this colourful Camel and Arab rider in flowing robes are visiting the oasis, all this was made as part of a boxed set.
Not my book, but a very good friends and well worth a look on www.ciderhousebooks.com Excellent photos and information about 17th, 18th and 19th Century houses.
