German shepherd, Upside-down

This is a small sculpture of a German Shepherd. He was sculpted by myself from earthenware clay, then fired, painted with glazes and fired again to bring the glossy, vibrant finish. 

German shepherds love their comfort, being close to their favourite people and making sure to tell them all about it. This dog is asking for a rub by rolling over. Next follows a sneeze. Probably.

He is about 3 inches long (around 1/12 scale if you're interested in including him as a dolls house dog)
