I do know that Irregular do 15mm animals - two types of dogs, I think:
alsatian & something else (labrador type? Can't recall...)

Apparently they're very nice minis - they look it, in the catalog, but I
don't own any.

don't know about 25mm Irreg dogs - I actually doubt it, as Irreg's 25mm
line is very small, and I can't recall seeing any animals in it. Too bad
the catalogs at home and I'm not right now...
