The 365 Dogs Calendar leads the pack in cuteness and pure huggability and normally retails at just over £10.

So many sweet furry faces to fall in love with throughout the year! Accompanying the daily photos are canine health and care tips, quotes, breed facts, trivia, and more.

A firm favourite with children and collectors, the pack contains a wide variety of breeds from around the world – ensuring that everyone can find their perfect companion. All they need to decide is whether they would prefer a fully trained adult dog or a mischievous young puppy!

There are five new four legged friends this year that are bound to be cherished by children and collectors alike. Each figure is a miniature replica of its larger counterpart and, as with real dogs, no two models are exactly the same!

First to join the pack is the proud German Shepherd, sitting on his hind legs, alert for any intruders. Also sure to be popular are new members of the Golden Retriever family; the cute and cuddly puppy and the strong male retriever.

Finally, towering above some of the smaller dogs in the collection, the new male and female St. Bernard’s figures are gentle giants, with their kind nature and fondness for children.

All dogs in Schleich’s collection are anatomically correct and intricately hand-painted ensuring that they have both educational and recreation value. The unique collectibility of the figures guarantees that in later years they will be on display for all to see.
