    Best of luck with the auction.

    Has he had all his shots and does he come with a full pedigree?

    The women from the blog Mini Modern Mind just lost her dog and is looking for a mini one that looked like hers a couple of us gave her the link I hope she gets to see it before someone else gets it. She wants to do a mini of her dog that was 13 I think your amazing creation would be perfect and she would love it forever

    Tina,

    I am so sorry to hear of your friends loss. I think it is one of the most heart breaking things in life. I know it has been in mine.

    It is very strange that I listed this miniature on EBay tonight.

    I would love to adopt the Sheltie but I am afraid he will keeep hunting my Guinea Pigs at home. :-) So...good luck with the auction. I hope it won't be too difficult for you to let the Sheltie go...

    Very good luck with the auction!

    Personally I hate Ebay. I don't like the time limit when you're bidding against someone, which of course you don't have with a regular auction. Also I don't like it when you want to buy something and you really don't have a clue how much it could go for.
    As a consequence I never buy from Ebay unless it has a 'buy now' option.
    Anyway, not many people share my dislike it seems, or otherwise it would not be such a success.

      I thought it would be fun to try an auction. It is very RISKY when you put a very low price on something you spent so many hours making. Timing is everything I think. One week something might not sell at all and then you might list it again in a week or two and it might go for more than you ever expected. It's a gamble.

    Good luck, Catherine. Auctions can be so "iffy" sometimes... depends who is in the "room".

    In someways, I agree with Josje but I think auctions can be useful in determining a price point.

    Good luck, Catherine. But I must tell you that I could not possibly part with this dog. He is just too adorable. It's like this dog is alive. He has so much personality. I love his sweet face!

    Sorry I'm so late, Catherine, but I just had to say how much I ADORE your little dog! As an owner of not one, but TWO Shelties --one bi-black&white and the other bi-blue-- I can attest to the astounding realism you have achieved in the breed. Your rendering brought a little tear to my eye (for real)!
