Bullyland dogs are nice :-)

Volkmar Klaus, the founder of Bully, - later Bullyland - and his wife Jane were very fond of French Bulldogs.
In 1973 when they started fabrication of the Bully-figueres, they had no less than 7 French Bulldogs , called "Bully" in German - thus the name and the logo.

So it is not surprising that Bully(land) has made some very niche figures of dogs .
What is surprising is, that these dogs are not anywhere nearly as popular as the ones from Schleich, - it must be the lack of Schleich-name.

Well, I am happy. The older dogs can be found for 1 – 2 Euros in MINT condition on Ebay.
Here are the ones I have succeeded to get this year, + the baby-Pug and the new Great Danes of this year.

The pug got a baby this year

I had a grey and a black Schnauzer, the one to the left must be much older, because it has the old tag.

This black French Bulldog has the little note, I think Schleich and Bullyland had the same good idea, - or who stole it from who

Mamamute. There will be two new sledgedogs this year, I think.

Rottweiler

Last year the little bulldog-logo was no longer on the front page of the catalogue, - and this year it is not on the tags either, - what a shame.

Congratulations Susanne Bullylander!
I'm not an expert of dogs but of course Bully dogs are nice and they have a lot of different breeds, isn't it Susanne?
Your first dog, the wolfspitz, I searched and it looks like the name in English is Keeshond! See here in wikipedia

...and your introduction of this topic is very interesting, thanks!

Here are some friends of your "Wolfsspitz":

Great dogs,Susanne!I also have the Bullyland mops!Can't wait to get the baby too!

Ahhh,keeshound !!! Yes, of course, how stupid of me
I will call him Keith (nothing to do with the acid-head from Stones )
Thank you Roger

And thank you Torben, nice to meet Keith`s friends.

Yes, Mihnea, that mops/pug is CO cute
We call them Mops in Danish also, or Moppe ..

WOW! That is a very fine Rottweiler !

CollectA makes some lovely dogs also
They did a unusually good job with the fur

Thanks for the picture

I love the Wolfstitz! They are all lovely

Those are all fantastic Susanne! I wish Bullyland animals were more available to me. I really like a lot of them! I especially like your Beagle and the Pugs! :)

I don't have a lot of dogs in my collection, but the ones I do have are Schleich. One of the local shops carries Safari dogs, but I'm not so impressed with them. They are overall nice sculptures, but seem to lack the charm that Schleich has. Bullyland dogs appear to have that charm about them as well. :)

-Kristie

Brown New Foundlander & Old Great Dane are very nice! But just too difficult for me to source over here. Kistie also mentioned that the Safari dog is not that impress for her. Last year the Female German Shepard with Puppies is quite well sculpted.

Thanks, friends

yes, I think Germany is the only place where there is any supply of retired Bully(land) dogs.
New ones also, when I think about it. The new ones I got from MPF :

I understand from some of my German friends that Bullyland is not very easy to find in any larger choice in German shops either.

Ken, that German Shepheard with pup is adorable

Very nice dogs- i like the Great Danish Dog-

Ok,

but political correct it must call: "Deutsche Dogge"

I don`t know about politics , but we call them Grand Danois in Denmark

And what the Americans call "Danish" we call Wienerbrød, - bread from Wienna

Woah, beautiful dogs! I specially like the big ones, and my favourite of those is the Rottweiler! My favourite breed is the biggest one, we call it "Gran Danés"; but I´m not quite satisfied with the figurines. I looked for the new Schleich one... but it´s smaller than the schleich dalmata figurine! I definitely didn´t like it

Perhaps it was a test, - they made the Grand Danois, Pugs and labradors to fit the scale of the other farm animals ?
As the big ones originally were a "series" of 1 : 12 models, I thought they were changing to smaller ones and really like them, - they do not take up so much space

But no new Schleich dogs this year
I hope they are planning a Saluki, a whippet and a Borzoi

Oh, I also love that kind of dogs! So elegant... :)

I love Saluki´s. My uncle has 15 of them.

15 !!!!

You surely don`t do things half in your family

I hope he has a big house

My uncle is since nearly 30 years a saluki breeder, he had several german, european and international champions

I know there are many fine Salukis in Germany. Do you know his kennel name ?

For many years some of the most winning Salukis came from Finland.

I am no big fan of dog shows, but with many of the Gazehounds they have succeeded to avoid ruining the dog for the looks.
