Duke likes hanging around the streets of Shoreditch making a mess. Naughty boy. A labrador has never won Crufts (fact - I looked it up) but I think he would. He comes in a choice of two fabrics: gold needlecord or a very soft chocolate brown cotton velvet. Click on the picture for a larger image and more description.

Why have the same as everyone one else. Do you have a favourite piece of fabric or an item of clothing that you don’t wear but can’t bear to throw out. Why not have your very own lulu or dukey boy.
Alternatively have your pet’s name hand- embroidered onto one of the toys.

Murdoch likes his fish grilled, with maybe a touch of dill. Nothing too fancy mind. He’s not pretentious.
He’s made from a soft black needlecord with a cotton tummy. The fish wiggles a bit and he’s happy sitting anywhere really. Nowhere too draughty.
