Robert Harrop began creating figurines in 1986. Beginning with horse figurines, he quickly realised that there was more character in dogs, particularly with the many different breeds available. Robert Harrop was already an eperienced modeller in ceramic resin, but held the view that the accepted modelling techniques of that time did not epress the full potential of the medium. Robert set out to design a totally different concept which he epressed with his new motto "Originality by Design". His skill and new techniques slowly gathered pace and by the early 90's his work was attracting the attention of serious collectors.
The first range of dog figurines were known as "Country Companions" and were so popular that Robert Harrop was able to move into new, purpose built, premises at Coalport House, near Telford, in Shropshire. Later, as the dog figurines range epanded, Robert Harrop renamed the collection "The Doggie People".
