A black and tan Norfolk Terrier, one of the rarer breeds in the UK due to the smaller size of their litters, what this chap lacks in leg length (sorry Archie), he more than makes up for in character. Not one to be shy and retiring, if he wants something he will bounce up and down and give you a good talking to, or at least that is what we think he is saying.

Never quite where he is meant to be, his comfy bed in the Nursery Shop is often empty and frequently eyed up by other visiting four-legged friends.

What are your duties at Hardy's? First thing I beat the bounds, visiting everyone in turn across the site, wishing them a good day and hoovering up crumbs.

I can generally be relied on to be the first to greet the customers as they come through the gate - you never know they may have a treat * important postscript from Julie, Archie is on a diet and is not allowed any treats at all - sorry again Archie

I like to think I am encouraging people to exercise by bending down to tickle my ears - downward dog, up and repeat! It's non-stop all day but I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Favourite thing in the world: FOOD!!!!

Any particular type? Nope, any food please

Favourite Entertainment? Where is that pesky cat?

Favourite Exercise? Come on, will someone tell me where the cat is?

Favourite Area at Hardy's? Anywhere with carpet i.e. the Hardy's house, Main Office, Sales Cabin - I love them all
