For your enjoyment only. This is my own personal vintage dog figurine collection. They are not for sale.
The figurines on this page are general hound dog types that I am unable to label as specific breeds, either because they do not look like any certain purebred or because the maker of the figurine labels them that way.

It measures about 1 3/8 inch tall from the ground to the top of the head, 1 3/4 inch long from the snout to the tip of the tail and 2 inches wide across the back paws.

This is a line-up of the vintage Hagen-Renaker miniature “Hound Dog Mama" designed by Helen Perrin Farnlund. I have four of these, however when it comes to hand-painted figurines they are never all exactly the same. This figurine is item number 497. It was added to the HR line in the 1950s and was retired in 1961. It measures 1 7/8 inch from the ground to the top of the head, 1 3/4 inch long from the front paw to the back of the tail and 1 1/4 inch wide across the back from hip to hip. This same mold was used to create other breeds, such as the “Dalmatian Mama” and a tri-color hound dog. It is still used today for the Dalmatian dogs.

This is the retired Hagen-Renaker "Hound Puppy". I have two of them and am showing them side by side. They are hand painted and you can see how they vary. It is item number 498 and is a hard to find vintage figurine. The tail is very fragile and will break off easily if you do not handle it with care. These two pups are both in excellent condition. They both measure one inch from the ground to the tip of the tail, 1 3/8 inch long from the furthest ear to the back leg and 3/4 inch wide from back paw to back paw. The mold that was used to make this figurine was also used to make some of the Dalmatians. The company painted them different colors to transform the breeds. It was designed by artist Helen Perrin Farnlund. Made in the USA

This is a line-up of some of my Hagen-Renaker miniature “Hound Dawg” dog figurines. They are all retired and were added to the HR line in 1959 and were in and out of the line in different colors, some retired in the 1980s and some in the 1990s. They were designed by Helen Perrin Farnlund. All of the hounds came in a variety of colors including tricolor. Some of the tricolor dogs pictured are Monrovia pieces, which means they were made in the Monrovia, California factory in the 1960s. They are all hand painted and therefore are never exactly the same. All of the dogs pictured above are in great condition; some do have crazing, which is a sign of age.

The smaller sitting dogs are “Hound Dawg Puppy Seated” and are item number 473. It measures 3/4 inch high from the ground to the tip of the nose, 5/8 inch long from the front paws to the tip of the tail and 1/2 inch wide from hip to hip.
The pups in the play bow pose are “Hound Dawg Puppy Playing” and are item number 474. Some of these dogs had shorter tails and others longer tails. Height varies depending on the tail height.
