Description
This porcelain figurine is modeled after the famous champion wire haired fox terrier "Talavera Romulus" and was designed by Arthur Gredington.
The "Talavera's" were a long line of champion wire hairs, and Romulus was the champion in 1934. (My last pic has the pictures of champions from 1925 to 1934.)
This figurine measures approx. 5oe" tall x 7" long.
Romulus is in perfect, like new condition.
No issues whatsoever and truly a work of art.
(If you love wire hairs, check my listings for another beauty.)

For your reading pleasure, a brief history of CH Talavera Romulus
Mr. Brearley purchased Romulus at the same time as he bought Nigel. This dog was already in great demand at stud, being the dog, said by many, to be the father of the modern wire (Ch. Talavera Simon ex Talavera Sparkle). Romulus was a by word in the world of wires at the time as a remarkable producer of winners which fully justified the opinion of the leading authorities in the breed of him being the most outstanding stud force in the country. During the period of hostilities, the showing of dogs was limited to a radius of 25 miles from the show venue and there were no championship shows at all. This dog would have had many champions to his credit if CC's had been on offer. Commanding a stud fee of £5 guineas he was, like Nigel, kept at stud into the mid-1940's so somewhere in the long pedigree of many of today's wire fox terriers the names of Ch. Talavera Romulus and Ch. Talavera Nigel will appear.
