Meet "Junie", this charming vintage terrier is modeled in the classic Wire Fox Terrier form, with an alert stance, raised tail and expressive face. Warm cream, caramel and deep brown coloring gives the piece wonderful dimension and character.
At just 5 inches long, he is an easy piece to tuck into a collected interior—perched atop antique books, styled into a library shelf, displayed alongside sporting trophies, or added to a grouping of vintage dog figures. The Japanese ceramic production gives him an appealing mid-century quality while the subject feels completely at home in an English country or sporting-inspired room.
This piece is part of the Martingale East Kennel Club collection. In support of a cause close to our hearts, $25 from its adoption will be donated to the Hilton Head Humane Association to help support animal welfare initiatives and the care of dogs in need.

WHY WE LOVE THIS
A wonderfully expressive little sporting dog with the kind of personality that makes vintage animal pieces so appealing. Its compact scale makes it especially easy to style into a bookshelf, desk or collected vignette.
