EXCELLENT topic! I can think of another member who iz going to go bananas when they see it...  really great collection so far!

wow! so many dogs and you're just starting the Bs

I love that first pic of the orange afghan with the curly tail

Love this topic idea. I am pretty amazed really with how many afghan hound models are made, they always seem to be in the vintage mixes at least. I didn't realize they were a popular enough breed to have so many representations out there.

A really good idea to go through and photograph them breed by breed, it's interesting to see the brands mixed together, and how they compare.

Paige is certainly right!
I was waiting for you to show all your dogs, I can tell that you have a wonderful collection and I was just so excited when I spotted this topic title! An A-Z tour of your dogs, would could be better? And I hope you don't mind, but I might have quite a few questions along the way... I always try to find out as much about dog figures as possible! What a great collection of Afghans, the CollectA is obviously the highlight but there are some other really interesting models too- do you know the brand of the lovely model far right in the first photo? She's lovely, I almost feel as though I recognise it but can't quite put my finger on it... and the pencil topper one, that set is great! Do you know what brand that other red Afghan is, never seen this pup before! ;D Great Akitas ( it's nice to see how you have separated these ones as American Akitas ) and what a fantastic selection of Airedales! These terriers are lovely dogs, I've always really loved the Schleich model! Congrats on the Breyer Aussie, that is a real treasure as is the TM American cocker, and we were so lucky that CollectA brought out an Amstaff! With the letter B comes Border collies, one of my favourite breeds so I loved looking through your collection! You have an amazing array of the Britains models and that ELC is another highlight, really nicely made! MEG made some really sweet pups with balls, and the Safari collie is one of my favourites, such a wonderful pose and full of that alert collie intelligence!
Only A&B but already such a wonderful dog collection!! This is going to be such a fun tour, can't wait to see more of your dogs and I would love to see your dogs made of materials other than plastic if you ever get round to it as you go through the breeds! Thank you for this topic! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thank you for this biginning "toy dog wiki" Taos!

 So many Border collies! 

Thank you all for your encouraging and kind words.
Bonnie-the little Afghan on the right is a Safari toob model.The bright orange Afghan is made of rubber and sadly I can remember who made it.I have a few more dog breeds from the same set.Someone helped me on the forum in the past identifying the marker but I forgot to change it on my records. .Bonnie,please feel free to ask as many questions as you want!
so some more doggies!

Boxer

Bull Terrier-I'm not convinced that the New Ray red/white dog is a Bull terrier-its marked as this but think it looks more like an American Staffordshire terrier and also think the same of the cream/white Funrise model.

This is a very good way for me to learn about dog breeds. Great collection!

Hurray, another amazing selection of dogs- I didn't realise your collection was this big! Firstly thanks so much for answering my questions, hopefully I'll be able to find out the brand of the red Afghan before long! But the Afghan to the right, a Safari toob model??! Wow, I thought I knew all the dogs from their toobs- is there another dog toob I don't know about? Or is it from another toob? I'd be so so interested to know!
More BCs and what a lovely little Breyer pup! There are some fantastic Bostons out there and that Kaiyodo is definitely a highlight, the Bostie on the left is nice, is it a hood hound as it looks like that style? I love how MEG gave us a briard and what a great Basset collection! I love the Schleich version, I always think his face is full of character and captures the Basset personality well! I'm guessing the little one on the right of the first photo is a Hood hound too?
Beagles! I saw the gorgeous Safari model, and then I saw. The Super Beagle!!! Wow, what a treasure, what a special rarity, how wonderful it must feel to have this dog! I would just love to know anything you can tell me about when and where you bought it, and whether it was that expensive or not as I'm always trying to work out what the likelihood is of it coming up for sale and where it is most likely to be found! I check for this model and the supe St. Bernard almost every day, I guess that is the life of a collector! Beautiful picture, I don't think I've been so excited looking at a group of beagles!
I adore that Papo brittany and loved looking through your bulldogs too, those 3D puzzle dogs really are so nice. Is the bulldog right of the second photos also a hood hound (Sorry, so many hood hound questions!) And the Kaiyodo is so nice too, I always find it such a shame that these Kaiyodo dogs aren't more easily available in the UK! And such a lovely metal/ lead bulldog, really gives an insight into the history of this breed! I've always loved that CollectA BMD, and what a superb Boxer collection, I'm sure the CollectA masterpiece will join it before long! It's amazing that you have that rare brown and white Schleich boxer, such a rarity now and so expensive too! Lots of dogs I don't know here, do you know the brand of the beautiful bigger one at the back of the first photo? And the orange one to the left and lying vintage looking one at the front? And I hope it is ok if I ask another question, the brown one to the left of the second photo? Thank you so much in advance! And to finish what a fantastic bull terrier collection, there are many nice models of this breed out there such as that Papo- and another Kaiyodo, it's nice to see the variety in brands! I'd agree about the two you mentioned, especially the New Ray model, they definitely look more like American Staffordshires! Sorry for so many questions again and I hope it is ok if I save some of the photos with the unknown dogs and information that you give me about them!

I glad that people are enjoying the dog breeds.
Bonnie ,Thank you for you lovely comments and now to answer your questions
The Hood hound models are the sitting Boston Terrier,the lying British Bulldog,and the little Basset hound with the larger models.
The Safari Ltd tube Afghan is the only one I have from this, along with a Doberman.
Boxer Photo 1-the larger Boxer is a made in China figure that I remember getting on holidays in Spain with another model.
The orange on the left is from another Safari Ltd tube.
The lying down one is another of the same set as the orange rubber Afghan.
Boxer Photo 2-the standing brown Boxer is by Bullyland.
The rare Schleich Beagle and Boxer I must have gotten in the 1990s.I think I bought them in Vienna as I remember seeing a lot of Schleich, Bullyland and Elastolin models for the first time!Schleich wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now!Sadly, I have no idea how much they cost at the time.

Thank you so much for answering all these questions! It's so interesting, but don't worry if ever you don't have time to answer them all though!
How amazing to have been able to buy the Schleich beagle and boxer when they were available at the time, I sometimes wish I was alive in the 1990s because of all the wonderful rare dog models which were easier to find then!
Really, really interesting about these mysterious Safari tube dogs, I can't wait to see the dobermann! Do you think that the orange boxer is from a separate tube to the Afghan and dobie? Wow, how many Safari dog toobs I wonder are still mysteries to us! If you ever find more about them I would love to know- do you know roughly when you bought them? I'm guessing that they must be quite old to be so rare now! Are they marked with Safari? Did you buy them separately or as part of the whole tube?
Thanks again for taking so much time to answer all my questions, learning about those Safari dogs has been so interesting! And I'm so sorry for asking so many!

I like the little BC using eye!

Here in the US, pit bull types are often called bull terriers. That may be where New Ray got the name for their sculpt. You don't often see proper bull terriers here outside of television ads.

So many boxers or bull terriers and just one Brittany spaniel! Is this breed few known outside France?

Wonderful way of presenting your dog collection Taylor !

Very interesting dog breeds

So many nice dogs

Thank you all again!
Bonnie-the Afghan and the Dobemann are from the same set but I only have these 2-the Dobermann is the same model as the one in the most recent Safari tube set.The orange boxer is from and older set with different models.The older set again I think I got in the 1990s.
Kelly-thanks for the info about the New Ray Bull Terrier.Interesting that you hardly ever see Bull Terriers-they are fairly common here in the Uk but not as common as Staffordshire Bull terriers-Staffies.
Caracal-Brittanies are not that common in the UK-they are overshadowed by Cocker and English Springer spaniels.I know they are popular with Spanish hunters as well as quite a number come to the UK via Spanish dog rescues.Sadly they are often abandoned when the hunting season is over.
So more breeds.........

Bichon Frise-this is the only model I have of this breed which is strange as these dogs are very popular in the UK.

This is another of those fascinating contrasts in dog popularity. Because it must be regional, or perhaps just a difference between country and town/city folk and their dog choices - I see a lot of Dalmatians, and no Bichon Frise whatsoever. I'm struggling to think if I've ever seen one in person, actually. And this might be cos I just don't go to towns or cities?
I do all my dog-breed spectating on days out on cross country courses, so the owners are generally country people who are there to watch the horses jump, most of them horse owners or riders themselves, usually living and/or working in the countryside too. Dalmatians seem to be a reasonably popular choice, I see two or three of them most times I go (and yes, before you start wondering if I've made an obvious mistake here, I'm sure it's not just the same owner with the same two dogs which I keep on seeing as they follow the same eventing circuit as I do, hahah )

That's very interesting George.I live near the south coast so its a mix of urban and rural and Dalmatians are uncommon here, but Bichons and their crosses are exceedingly common so it does look like it may a regional thing!

I'm in East Anglia - very rural, tiny villages, and arable farmland for as far as the eye can see

Whoops! I forgot the only Cairn Terrier I have!

The 1990s seem filled with mysterious dogs from Safari tubes! Thank you so much for the information on these dogs, I find it so interesting as I thought we had documented all the Safari dog tubes ever made! I hope it is ok if I just clarify a couple of things- do you have/ know about the other dogs which came in the tube with the orange boxer? And if possible do you think you remember the date you bought the Afghan and dobie tube just to get an idea about when it was around? It must be really rare because even with a search on Google I can't seem to find anything about it, I'm guessing it was an earlier version of their current dog tube and only sold for a short amount of time, maybe one day I'll contact Safari to ask! But thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it!
What a fantastic array of dogs this time, that special one and only cairn definitely deserves a mention! There are so many lovely Chow Chows out there, and I always love the way the Papo cav really captures the expression of the show dogs we see here in the UK- even though I am against breeding dogs for those overly large eyes and short noses I do think this model is very accurate to what sadly is the modern cavalier these days. Great cockers! There's a lovely one on the right of the first photo- do you know its brand? And I'd love to know the brand of the two in the second photo to the right, they look vintage to me! I find that this breed is the one of the most common ones I see in my area, and I also don't think we have a perfect model of one yet- hopefully we will in the near future though! Wow, amazing Dachshund collection, and all varieties too! I adore Papo's such a beautiful sculpt and so so similar to the latest Best in Show Crufts winner too which was quite a coincidence! I've never seen the lovely little one in the second photo to the left in front of the Safari model- if you have time I would love to know his brand too! Look at all those Dalmatians, what a collection! I think it's the Yujin pair, they are so lovely and made an amazing dog series, and I have always loved the Bullyland puppy so much!
I am really enjoying this topic, can't wait for the rest of the letters!

So many great models in the last 2 updates! The little briard in the basket and the bichon are my favorites. Great collection so far!

Thank you all again.
Bonnie-the little tricolour Cocker is a made in China model that I found in a mixed selection of dog models-I also got a Beagle,Dalmatian and Old English Sheepdog(I will show him later)
The other Cockers you mentioned-the Blue roan is a Bullyland model and the orange model is from the Kellogs series of dog breeds.
The tiny little smooth coated Dachshund is a Hood Hounds model.
