They are the Cockapoo Club and Hedgehog Haven – both collections are Gift of the Year contenders. Cockapoo Club consists of a mixture of Labradoodles and Cockapoos in various sizes and positions. These cross-breeds are one of the most popular dogs these days and Frith report that the vast majority of visitors to the last trade fair were interested in buying one for themselves! They’re lively, intelligent, loyal and affectionate and so cute – as you will see in Friths models. Hedgehog Haven is a group of one of our favourite British mammals – they’re life-like and fit comfortably in the hand – once again, the collections include a selection of sizes and positions.
