Royal Guard Bulldog Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-4-N01026D

Put a loyal guard on duty with the Royal Guard Bulldog, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a white English bulldog with a wrinkled face and floppy ears under a tall red hat with a gold crest and a green jewel. He wears a green jacket trimmed in gold braid with a blue kilt, holds a little red lantern topped with a crystal, and stands in red trousers with white fur cuffs and blue boots on a white base.

A little collector's folklore: the bulldog is a symbol of courage and determination, and collectors say a bulldog guard at the door means nothing gets past him on Christmas Eve — except Santa.

Why this nutcracker: if you love bulldogs, he turns the classic royal guard into a portrait of the family pet. The crystal lantern catches the light, and at 15 inches he is a fun statement piece for a mantel or entryway.

In the box: one Royal Guard Bulldog nutcracker in painted wood with faux-fur cuffs and a crystal accent, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Line him up with the rest of the dog guard — the French bulldog soldier (F07AM9-4-N01026B), the Boston terrier drummer (F07AM9-4-N01026C) and the polar bear skier (F07AM9-4-N01026A). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Fun Christmas mantel decor, and a perfect gift for bulldog owners and dog lovers.
