The Barker Golden Labrador Family
FATHER JERRY BARKER is the tour guide of Sylvania. He takes visitors to all the points of interest around Sylvania and regales them with information about buildings and their origins, historical events and old customs.
MOTHER MARGO BARKER runs the well organised Tourist Information Office. The walls of Margo’s office are full of posters and maps and she has leaflets full of
details about everything that is happening in Sylvania.
BROTHER TARQUIN BARKER does everything at a sedate pace, he never runs or rushes around. If he could, he would spend all day, every day reading a book in front of the warm open fire in the family front room.
SISTER JOCASTA BARKER, unlike her brother is full of energy, rushing hither and thither like a mad thing. Give her a ball and she will play for hours in the garden even if there is no one else to play ball with!
TWIN BABIES CHARLES & CRESSIDA BARKER bounce around the house making a mess and a lot of noise. Their favourite game is rolling the lovely soft lavatory paper down the stairs.
BABY SISTER BETTINA BARKER is not quite as noisy as her baby brother and sister, but just as messy.

AUNTIE ZOE BARKER runs the official Sylvanian Games Souvenir Shop. She is kept busy as her shop is the only place to purchase tickets for the games. She sells a large range of items, including flags, t-shirts, programs & toys.
COUSIN RON BARKER is competiting in the Sylvanian Games against his good friend Jessica Buckley. He is excited about participating. Ron isn't as competitive as his friend, he is just worried he will get beaten by a girl!
COUSIN SONNY BARKER loves fish & chips. He saves his pocket money every week just so he can get some from the Osbourne's fish & chip van. Francesca Osbourne jokes that if he ever stopped eating fish & chips, she would go out of business!
The Barker labrador family were first released in the UK in 2009, as the standard family four pack figure set and with the three babies seperately. At the time they were the first every labrador family in the Sylvanian range. The family was extended in 2012, with the introduction of an aunt and a cousin, released as part of the Sylvanian Games range (which was released to tie-in with the Olympics). The mother came with the souvenir shop, while the son came as part of a games activity set with a Buckley Deer sister. The following year another son figure was added, who came with the Osbourne bear mother as part of the Fish & Chips set. No father was released for the extra Barker family members, or baby figures. It is unlikely any more members of this family will be released, as in 2014 EPOCH released a new golden labrador family, who vary in appearance to the Barker family.
