[Tracy]

Hi

Not sure what everyone else feels , but I would love to see a female English Bull Terrier....all the ones so far have been males :eek:

Come on Robert Harrop....something for the girls ;)

Never say never, any suggestions?

Never say never, any suggestions?

Its tough to think of one girl figure that would look right, so why not make a playground roundabout with 5 female EBT puppies on it possibly still in their school uniforms. Its an everday scene at our local park after school! I have the Westies puppies at a party figure, and i could imagine the roundabout scene with the EBT's playing on it already!
Ps. Dont forget to give me 1st option on one if this gets all your artistic senses going like mine are already! :D

How about a Medieval type Damsel, with a lilac outfit, a bit like a Maid Marion, but maybe a different hat
This is the only thing I could find that fits what I'm thinking pinched borrowed it from ebay

I know we have the St George on White Stallion already, but how about the Joan of Arc Bullie? Different and somewhat appealing i think! Tracy/Dan this is all your fault i cannot concentrate on basic life as we once new it now worrying about a female figure Bullie :D

[bullygirl]

what about a bride

[AliBullie]

oooh bullygirl thats a great idea, and then of course we would have to have a groom too :D

[Tracy]

O.M.G What a great idea ....A bride and Groom English Bull....I think they would be fantastic :D

How about Lady Guenevere or Lady Igaine (daughter of the Lady of the Lake) as part of the King Arthur series that has just been laucnhed?

How about a diva bully girl? They do think they are diva's!!::D

[Rosies Mum]

Having thought long and hard about this :D

What about a bullie on roller skates with a tray of driinks held up, a bit like the martini girl.

[Linda Lovelace]

Madame Butterfly would make a great girlie doggie :)

Not sure an EBT would be the best choice, may be something a little more delicate ;)

[Draydurbullies]

Although all these idea's are exiting and fun, everyone seems to have missed the fact that all the Bull Terrier figures in the collection are of a profesional nature (apart from the Gladiator). What about a Florence Nightingale or Queen Victoria or Cleopatra. Or maybe some other leading ladies. Do females in the military always wear the same as the men? I think so?
All the figures at the moment demand respect, just like the real variety.:D Please do not make them silly and portray our wonderful breed as a joke.:( Even though anyone who ownes a BT knows they are comical, i feel RH should continue to portray Bull Terriers as a more clasical line. Please remember that this is only my personel view. I know this forum is about having your say but if any of the designers read this, please carry on where you have left off. If it's not broke don't fix it.
Having had my say please MR HARROP can we have some more:)
Sorry if i have offended anyone :)
Steve.

I kinda agree with Draydurbullie, a Bullie lady would have to be one that could be respected. Lets have some Strong Ladies.

I really really like the Joan of Arc idea, I can picture it now, in her armour, on her horse ready to fight the good fight.

Queen Boadicea (sorry if spelt wrong) in her Charriot...

Cleopatra?

Ali xx

:D

[Bullie Queen Cleo]

Hi

I too would love to see a female RH Bullie and loving the sound of all the ideas so far. Have to be honest a tri-colour Cleopatra would be my most fav being i have a mini tri Bullie who was named after Cleopatra.

[Carla]

SHOCK! HORROR!!! now here's a thought!

How about NO MORE BULLIES for a while and lets have a few more different breeds!

Some of us long standing Harrop doggie collector's try and collect most of the doggie output and to be honest recently the bully's have been released in unreal disproportion to the rest of the range, and yet you want more!

I think Harrop are losing out to a huge potential of customers by sticking to Limited edition Bullie's, Bulldogs, and Labradors (although i love Labs). Bullie's and Bulldogs are not even in the top ten of dog ownership yet we are inundated with them as LE figurines.

Thankfully Harrop have produced the wonderful Shar Pei, and at last another Beagle, but what of the Alsation, Border Terrier, Boxer, Whippet, Dogue de Bordeaux, Bichon Frise, Border Collie, Siberian Husky, Shih Tsu, Dalmatian, Great Dane, Cairn Terrier, Rottweiler, Miniature Schnauzer, Lhasa Apso, Yorkshire Terrier, Dobermann, Weimaraner, Pug, Welsh Corgi, Boston Terrier, Minature Pinscher, some of these dogs have never even been modelled, some like the Bichon Frise has had one (the wonderful Clown Juggling, one of Harrop's best!), none to my recollection have had a LE.

So come on at least give Harrop a chance of producing some different breeds instead of all screaming for one breed, and give the collectors that buy any breed the chance to balance the look on their shelves.

I know this is 'another anti Bully' remark but this forum at least has to have some balance.

NO MORE BULLIES



That's it, I'm leaving.


I would guess all the bullseye figures have gone and the large Policeman at nearly £100, and at a time when the credit crunch is making people think twice about spending large sums of money on "lumps of resin" is also selling well.

Like all businesses RH make what they know will sell and bullys real sell well :D

Please let us know Carla if you love Bull Terriers (I tell you what, why stop there, how about a new Harrop range 'The Bully People' obviously just devoted to the one breed. Sounds like a money spinner to me! Writen by Carla) or not! See above!:confused: :confused: :confused:

The main point is not many breed enthusiasts actually know RH have a collectors club, so RH go with what flies off the shelves, so to speak. I think there is loads more room on my shelves for many more LTD Edition Bull Terriers and i would say all members of the SBC would say the same.

On the day when Carla was pro Bullies her idea for a Bullie range was exellent, with the exeption of the name. How about " Bullies"R"us"

[ajsdot]

I think thats a fab idea

[ajsdot]

:) How about Boudica to go with Joan of Arc??

[Draydurbullies]

How's about Mother Teresa:) Joan of Ark (to go with new Gladiators):) and Nancy from Oliver Twist.:p (to go with my next question)

Please Mr Harrop can i have some more?:D

Bullies Glorious Bullies

[Carla]

'cuse me, wasn't Joan of Arc a French lady, why would a Joan of Arc figurine possibly be an English Bull Terrier, i think you are all just clutching at straws here! :)

[Draydurbullies]

Hi Carla,
If it is political correctness you require there is no such breed as an "ENGLISH" Bull Terrier, the Kennel Club and anyone else who knows the difference between Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pit Bull Terriers and Bull Terriers, only use the term ENGLISH so as not to confuse people who do not know any better. :rolleyes:
This comment is sent in jest,:D but is fact.:(
People all over the world collect RH and our freinds in France love the idea:p

[Carla]

It wasn't really political correctness, it was more it sounds a stupid idea! Joan of Arc indeed!

Now you mentioned Pit Bull's, why hasn't Harrop done one of those? or have they? I don't recall one, or are they 'bundled' into the same category as an English Bull Terrier? Horrible nasty critters anyway.

Now i think Harrop should redo Henry VIII with a EBT instead of the original Bulldog, it fits somehow when you look back in history and see the destructiveness of that evil tyrant. Now come on, i know you would love to see a HenryVIII EBT.

[Rosies Mum]

Have you been reading the Sun again Carla, they often make stereotypical and sweeping judgments.


American Pit Bulls are often used as working dogs in America. Many in search and rescue as they possess the qualities of physical strength and lack of fear.

There are no bad dogs or "nasty critters", just bad owners. A dog is what you make it.

A Bull Terrier is a separate breed, not a Staffy, or a Bulldog or Pit Bull.

Bullies for Prime Minister

[Carla]

Anyway i wanna know why there aren't any pure black bullies? do they exist, if so why no model of one? I need to know.
