It’s a well known fact that there’s no point in having your own dog accessories business without having a dog to model them for you!

This is the point that we at Dog Charmed DQ (Dogquarters) would like you to meet Miss Mabel Doodle.

Mabel is Allison’s gorgeous Miniature Labradoodle, and yes, we are using the term ‘miniature’ VERY loosely!

She is always wearing Dog Charmed, whether it’s a sun cap…

…or a cheeky attach to collar bandana!

We decided the best way to get to know her would be with a little questionnaire, Miss World Style….
