From our home in Flanders, France to yours. What’s a shutter dog? A shutter dog is a piece of hardware mounted to the outside wall of a building, and it’s designed to hold a shutter open so the shutter doesn’t flap around in the wind. If you do an online search for “shutter dog,” you’ll get results for hardware companies and blacksmiths who make hardware that goes by several names: tieback, holdback, hold-opens, shutter stays, and my favorite, shutter dogs. Here in France, the term for a shutter dog is, “arrêt de volet” (shutter stop) or the more colorful bergère de volet (shutter shepherdess). We also see tête de bergère (shepherdess head), Middle Eastern, man, turban, head, scarf, Indian, colonial window, antique, swing down door hardware Espagnolette
