Dog's gift

I need some ideas of a small gift to say thank you to my daughter's class teacher at the end of the year. She's agility mad, and has Border Collies. Can anyone recommend anything suitable in the £10 region?

Knitting needle in a haystack

Does anyone know of any knitting patterns to make German Shepherd toys? I am involved with GSD rescue and would love to make some Shepherd toys to sell to raise funds.

I know Alan Dart has patterns for lots of breeds but I can’t find one for the German Shepherd. It would need to be at least 10 inches or more, ideally.

Thanks very much,
