Great! So you have began a Dog series?

Thank you very much Christophe.

Also very nice work Robert :)

Thank you so much Andreas.

Looks like a dog. :) great job , Robert

Thank you very much Laura.

It seems you're building a series of shepherd dogs and it is an excellent idea once you're using less known breeds.
I see your Central Asian Shepherd is somewhat taller than [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
It seems correct considering the measurements I've found in Wikipedia. Are you working at a certain scale? 1:12 scale?
Which mold is the original? :)
I hope you consider introducing the Portuguese Shepherd dog in your wonderful series. It is best known as Estrela Mountain Dog

Thank you Roger. Before? Collecta Great Dane. The scale is cca 1:12 - 1:14. And yes, Estrela Mountain dog is beautiful. My next work- Tibetan Mastiff.

Thanks and good luck with your new project. Considering Caucasia is in the border between Europe and Asia, I see a preference for Asian breeds.

Nevertheless a Bergamasco Shepherd would be a very decent addition

Yes you're right Christophe. Ideas are a lot, but unfortunately little time.

Woderful model!!! Can wait to see the Tibetan Mastiff-will it be black/tan or blue/tan or black or gold?

Thank you so much Taos. Hmmm.....probably black and tan.

Wonderful model, such a beautyful dog

It is very interesting to see those breeds, which are unknown for me untill now.
Of course there must be many kinds of shepherd dogs, as dogs have been helpers throughout much of the world since I-don't-know-when

I wonder about the ears of this dog breed, - are they cut off ?

Thank you very much Susanne. Yes they are cut off. But not always. Is it because of attacks by wolves, so it had nothing to grasp.

Thankyou for the info, Robert .

Hmmm, but most of them are never comming anywhere near a wolf...I don't like it, but what to do

These are great! I recognized the ovcharka as such as soon as I saw it, it's that good. (have seen a couple in real life, at rare breed shows here in the US) I'd never heard of an alabai before, but the work on it is lovely.

Susanne, I've seen imported Anatolian shepherds with the ears cut off like that, guess it's traditional? Doesn't make it good, just maybe an explanation.

Uhh, yes. Old tribal traditions can be very cruel , - I also see on the net that they are used for dog fights as a tradition

Neither l do not like, but do not want to just show dogs, but also those working in the herds.

Sure, - of course you should make it as it looks
