Makers mark "Arnold" embossed on base of toy

Dogs were a persistant feature of the Jandaschewskys act. Guillaume and Arthur trained numerous dogs to act as bulls. This toy dog was said to have featured in Arthur's solo performance, chasing Arthur around the stage.
The Jandaschewsky family collection was kept together by the last remaining family member, Arthur 'Jandy' Jandaschewsky. During the last years of his life 'Jandy' sold the collection to his friend John Anastasiadis. Mr Anastasiadis kept the collection for a 25 year period, having built a repository for housing and exhibiting it at his own home. In 1994 he sold the collection to the MAAS in order to keep it together, and in New South Wales, according to 'Jandy's' wishes.
