In case you have an extra $4,000 laying around...

You can purchase this life-sized dachshund at London's House of Automata (see link below)...see the video to see what he can do ~ but $4,000???

He's a little on the thin side isn't he?

Having seen that dog in other photos, the most disturbing thing about that is the fact that is made from a real dachshund hide. That puts me off right there.

Yes, I thought he was pretty thin too, with those ribs showing!

MacDachshund, if that is true, that is horrible! Their link says the dog is made of papier mache with a "suede coat", yet it goes on to describe bullet holes which they don't explain, which was kind of odd to me...ugh!! So this is a one-of-a-kind only dachshund? (Which would explain the cost, I guess)...

I rest my case. You don't shoot suede.

Just oui, I would want to feed him constantly, that would make me feel bad all the time., looking at a starved little doggie.

Why would someone pay $4,000 for a mechanical dog that bobs his head up and down ?
Brain dead idea !

Is suede not a leather product? Or is is man made?
That goosed me out if they used one from a real dog. (the hide)
Looks kind of sick to me the Dog and the idea.

I can think of better use for $4,000.00.

I remember having a toy kitten when I was a little girl that was made out of paper mache. It's very, very lightweight. It was covered with fur. I'm sure it wasn't the fur of a kitten.

I doubt seriously that this is covered with the hide of a dachshund, either. While I wasn't there at the time, I would bet that over the years, someone thought it was a big joke to shoot at a mechanical barking dog.

I'm with you Harley, I can think of alot better ways to spend 4 grand than to buy an antique mechanical dog!

YUCK! I think the person looks badly automated. If I have 4 grand we won't have just one emaciated doxie that you have to dust and wind up. I don't like those "breathing" sleeping ones either. EUWWW! The real things is so wonderful, why fake it?
