The Forrester Dog Family
FATHER RYAN FORRESTER is a carpenter and loves making furniture. He spends hours and hours in the forest looking for pieces of timber. Some of the pieces that are not suitable for making furniture, he cuts into logs and uses on the fire in the winter.
MOTHER RACHAEL FORRESTER hates to see trees being cut down and insists that her husband Ryan, the carpenter, only uses pieces of wood that he finds lying about in the forest. Every time she sees a tree chopped down, she plants two saplings in its place. Her favourite tree is the Oak.
BROTHER PATCH FORRESTER has a tidy mind and enjoys nothing more than clearing away bracken and brambles from all the paths in Sylvania.
SISTER PENNY FORRESTER is very clever at making decorations from the fir cones, leaves and pieces of wood that her father finds in the forest for her.
BABY BROTHER NIPPER FORRESTER is scared of thunderstorms and always buries himself in his cradle when it rains – even if it is just a shower.
BABY SISTER NICKY FORRESTER likes to sit in her cradle out in the garden and listen to the birds singing.
The Forrester Dog Family were classed as one of the Original Sylvanian Families, even though they were released in the third wave of figures in the UK, in 1989/1990. They were the first dog family released in the UK, although in Japan the Urban Life range had three dog families released around the same time. The family saw a future re-release when Flair took over the distribution of Sylvanian Families in the UK. The new version saw the babies go for the regular baby clothing, instead of the gowns. The families were also released into the Japan market in 2005, as part of the exclusive 'Market Series', although I have not seen any of the Forrester family in the market boxes, so that may just be a rumour.
