Product Info
The dolls are approximately nine inches tall and are modeled after the English toy spaniel dog breed. The line was designed by famed fashion and toy designer Carter Bryant, creator of the original Bratz concept, and his sister. Bryant said that he based the dolls on his sister's real Cocker spaniel of the same name, Pinkie Cooper.
