Looking for a toy for DD9's birthday

DD turns 9 next month and has recently started collecting figurines of dogs that we've found at charity shops and car boot sales. She likes realistic style ones that she can look up the breeds.
I want to get her a proper set of some for her birthday but can't seem to find any?
There's either cheapo ones on amazon that don't look very nice and seem poorly made, or vintage ones like Puppy In My Pocket that are hellishly expensive for more than a couple of figures.
Can anyone recommend anything please?

Schleich do some nice dogs but they are quite small.

I'm not sure how much you want to spend but a crystal or glass figure might be really nice

Whimsey did a whole range of different dogs. I dont know if they are still going but a quick Google brought up loads of 2nd hand ones. They made pocket money priced ' souvenir ' animals when i was young and everybody had a few wedged on a shelf.
Ohh
That made me quite nostalgic!
