Sheltie – Hand-Poured 999+ Silver Collectible Reserve Edition Loyalty. Grace. Intelligence That Never Stops Working. The Shetland Sheepdog is one of the most intelligent and responsive herding breeds ever developed — a dog that reads its handler's intentions with almost uncanny accuracy, that works with focus and enthusiasm, and that brings a warmth and affection to its family that makes the breed one of the most devoted companions available. The Sheltie's long silky coat, the delicate facial features, and the alert, expressive eyes make it one of the most beautiful herding dogs. This sculpture captures the Sheltie in its full graceful form in 999+ fine silver with an antique patina, every detail of the coat and the breed's distinctive features hand-finished with care. What You're Getting: Hand-poured 999+ fine silver with an antique silver finish Available in 1oz, 3oz, 6oz, 12oz, and 24oz Hand-finished for coat and full form detail throughout Marked for weight and purity Includes a certificate of authenticity For the Sheltie Owner and the Herding Breed Enthusiast A meaningful gift for Shetland Sheepdog owners and enthusiasts, herding dog collectors, and anyone who has experienced the particular joy of a Sheltie's intelligence and loyalty in person. Elegant, detailed, and a piece that honors the breed beautifully. About the Reserve Edition The Sheltie is a Reserve Edition statue. Every size is limited to a maximum of 100 pieces -- 500 for the 1oz. Once a size reaches that number, it will never be cast again. Each Reserve piece ships with a metal Certificate of Authenticity, laser-engraved with the name of the statue and the individual number that matches your specific piece. The Reserve line is for collectors who want something permanently scarce -- a piece with a defined place in a fixed run that closes for good. For collectors who want a specific Gold Spartan design without a mintage cap, the Standard Edition line remains available continuously.
