Dog Weathervanes: Celebrating Man’s Best Friend

8/4/2017

0 Comments

 
What better way to celebrate your love of dogs than with a dog weathervane from Valley Forge Cupolas and Weathervanes! We have three different dog weathervanes to choose from, each exemplifying the personality and charm of that breed.

Scottish Terrier

One of the most recognizable dog breeds, Scotties’ distinctive looks can be found on everything from handbags to bookends to Monopoly pieces. Originally bred in Scotland to hunt vermin (including foxes and badgers), Scotties are intelligent, fiercely loyal dogs. The AKC describes their personality as “Independent, confident, and never shy; spirited but dignified.”

During the 1930’ss they were a fad among American celebrities, including Humphrey Bogart and Shirley Temple. During World War II they reached greater notoriety thanks to Fala, President Franklin Roosevelt’s constant companion and the most celebrated “first dog” in American history.

This little dog with big personality makes a great addition to any roofline!

Golden Retrievers

These lovable, big-hearted dogs are the 3rd most popular breed, according to the AKC. Exuberant, friendly, devoted and intelligent, Goldens are excellent working dogs. While primarily used for hunting, they also serve as guide dogs and work in search-and-rescue. Originally bred in Scotland during the mid-19th century, Goldens excel at retrieving from both land and water, and are ranked as one of the most intelligent dogs.

According to the AKC breed standard, Goldens should have a “kindly expression” and be eager, alert and self-confident. Their temperament is one of the most noted and loved hallmarks of the breed, making them excellent family dogs and companions. While their patient, trusting nature makes them poor guard dogs, they are excellent at making people feel welcome - even as a weathervane!

Labrador Retrievers

Labradors descended from the St. John’s dog that was found in Newfoundland during the 1700’s. The St. John’s dogs worked alongside Newfoundland fishermen, retrieving fish that fell off hooks and helping haul fishing lines through the water. At the end of a long day, the dogs would return home to play with the fisherman’s children. Their wonderful temperament, eagerness to please, and retrieving abilities made them ideal family pets and accomplished sporting dogs. These dogs were imported to England during the early 1800s where they were bred into the Labradors we know and love today.

Friendly and outgoing, Labs love to play with anyone and everyone. Their intelligence and desire to please their master make them exceptional in their work, from hunting and search-and-rescue to guiding the blind or working with law enforcement to detect narcotics.

As the most popular breed in America, you can’t go wrong adding a playful Lab to your roofline!
