Dear Claire,

Thank you for submitting images of Mr. Chashoudian sculpting what would become a stunning life-size bronze depiction of a presidential terrier. Chashoudian has had a smaller sculpture offered and sold recently at auction for $375USD, this piece was then sold again via Ebay for $660USD. This example was much smaller at 8"h x 14"'l and lacks the history and provenance of your example.

I took some time to read the history of the Presidential Pet Museum and your connection with it. It is a fascinating and enjoyable history and provenance will play a role in determining the value of a piece. That said, it is difficult to affix an exact number on how large a role provenance plays. Conservatively, I would expect your example to sell at auction between $2000USD - $2500USD. That said, once in a retail setting, I'd expect closer to $5000USD to $6000USD.

Do let me know if yu have any follow-up questions to this and have a lovely day.

Kind Regards,

Erin-Marie
