Schleich 16378 Golden Retriever Welpe, stehend

The puppy’s standing pose is so balanced it can actually stay upright on a shelf, which is more than I expected from a little figurine. The glossy finish on its fur catches the light just right, making it look almost like a real miniature pet.

The little tail is painted so precisely it almost looks ready to wag, and the standing pose feels really natural for a curious pup. My kids have already started a whole play scene with it on the bookshelf.

The paint job on this little guy’s nose and eyes is really precise, and the pose looks exactly like a real puppy. He sits nicely on the shelf with our other animal figures, and the plastic has a nice weight to it.
