The most popular breed of dog in the U.S. and U.K., by registered ownership, is the Labrador retriever. So it's about time Peter tackled the subject! This fixed edition box figurine features two playful puppies. Look closely and you'll see that the brown one has a strange look on his face. Search for Peter's signature mouse and you'll know why! Labradors are blessed with many good traits, but they can be let down by their stomachs. You only need to google my Labrador swallowed to see pages and pages of objects that have been eaten. Lift the lid to see some of these items: a golf ball, dice, comb, toothbrush, keys, tennis ball, Lego brick, champagne cork, coin, penknife and a bee. Inscriptions include Bella, Stanley, and Dixie. Bella, a white Lab, belongs to HK Sales Director Shirley Mullen's family. Stanley is the twelve week old brindle Boxer/Lab/?? mix that HK founder Lisa Yashon recently brought home. Dixie is HK controller Sal Caradonna's prized Lab who is now gone but will never be forgotten. Peter's dog Murphy is commemorated as well. She just celebrated a birthday and has reached the grand old age of 15; hence the M15 inscription (nothing to do with the British intelligence service). Peter reports that Murphy is a bit doddery but still enjoys her daily walks.

Although Harmony Kingdom is still manufactured at Wimberley Mills near Stroud in Gloucestershire, since Martin Perry, the founder retired in August 2005, marketing and shipping of the pieces is done from the USA office at Harmony Ball Company in Ohio. This means that we have to consolidate our orders before having them shipped to us. We are currently taking deliveries about every 6 weeks and so there may be a delay with your order if the piece is not already in stock. We will advise by email. Hope this doesn't cause a problem.
