Flying pintail drake on oak branch with fall leaves.






A fitting tribute to Man's Best Friend. These are the best sculpted Labrador busts I have found, and the supplier paints each individually from your dog's photo. The bird can be mounted as a dead mount retrieve, as the mallard, or as a cripple retrieve as the black Lab and wigeon in the back. These are $325.00 in addition to the cost of the duck.
