Country Artists Best In Show GREY SCHNAUZER, adorable and excellent!

Description

From my personal "kennel" collection, this is a Country Artists "Best in Show" dog, a beautiful grey Schnauzer. For those not familiar with these figures, they are made of a cold cast resin, and stand about 4-5" tall, depending on breed. They are lovely pieces, great for any dog lovers display, and absolutely show-worthy, if you are into showing your model dogs.
This model has a lovely paint job, with soft grey color and shading, and wonderful details. He is in excellent condition, with no rubs, scratches, breaks, or major flaws that I could find. He has an endearing, alert expression and seems about to WOOF!  I hate to let him go, but he has been cooped up far too long, and should be out being admired and enjoyed!
He looks at you like he is ready for a RUN, not a walk, and he
needs to be out on display, or in the show ring, and will be a terrific addition to any model dog enthusiast's collection or show kennel.
This beautiful dog has been meticulously kept in a non-smoking home, and is ready to grace your shelves. I am ferociously picky and my standards are high, but those of others may vary, so please ask any questions before you bid!  Everyone has their own opinion, and what might drive me completely nuts might be inconsequential to someone else (or vice versa, though honestly the latter hasn't happened yet).  I try to provide very, very detailed descriptions, and I am happy to answer any inquiries. Sale of this model is final, so I want to make sure the new owner is as pleased with him as I have been.
I am embarking on a downsizing of a model animal collection spanning 40+ years. As I don't want the reverse process to take as long, I am offering many models at reduced starting or BIN prices. I tend to list only a few models at a time, so I can give each transaction as much attention to detail as possible. If you are looking for something specific, check back here as you search - I just may have it listed!
Actual estimated delivery date (not eBays) includes three business days to pack and ship the item, and depends on auction end date, shipping service, and receipt of cleared payment.  PLEASE NOTE: Winner must acknowledge within THREE business days of auction close or I will open an Unpaid Item case with eBay in order to be able to relist the item. This does NOT mean you have to PAY within three business days! Just let me know you are aware you've won the item and what you intend to do about it. ;-)  I am happy to work with buyers on payment(s). Unfortunately, I've had to tighten up my policy to avoid having unpaid items tied up for weeks when winning buyers simply disappear.
