Bonnie's Collection- Final Update Wolves!

Very nice hippos and rhinos, especially the large hippo.

Warthogs are known for being intruders. It is trying to pretend it is a rhino but we won’t believe him. Now I want to tell us which is the best dog breed to take care of a herd of hippos?

What brand is the warthog?

Thank you so much Fernando!
I have found the dog for the job here Roger: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
It's one of the many, many designer breeds that are being made these days! I think the warthog wishes he had a bigger horn like the rhinos
Adam, the warthog is from the African nature tube by K&M, here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Ah ok, thanks

Nice collection again!
Adam-great looking duck.My work colleague has Miniature Silver Appleyards.She nearly got Abacot Rangers but opted for the Appleyards in the end!

Thank you Taylor!

You’ve found it. It only could be something related with a Shar-pei.

We had some appleyards maybe six years ago as well as 10 other breeds from Aylesbury to Cayugas

And now for the leopards, cheetahs, jaguars and other big cats (Excluding lions and tigers), big cats are one of my favourites after all canines so I generally have more of them than of other species .
I have about three Schleich cheetahs, not sure why (One is my sister's!)- maybe because they are such wonderful models of this species. Unlike the Schleich lynx, which sadly disappointed me, it seems to have this new style like their other modern big cats from Schleich where they seem to have really obvious unnatural looking areas of paint, and very little anatomical detail compared to previous years...
But I love their jaguar and leopard, and both their cheetah cubs are both sweet and realistic There are also a couple from Innovative Kids (Now Melissa and Doug I think), and some unknowns including the unusual ocelot (I think?) on the far left of the second photo. As usual if there are any photos needed for TAW, I am very happy to take photos separately!

Nice cats

Some very nice cats indeed. May I ask, where did you acquire your Nayab? (Lynx, civet and Jaguarundi)

I missed the lovely flocks of hippos and rhinos and the wayward warthog

Nothing like a warthog to make the party swing

And Cheetahs
I LOVE cheetahs
This flock is great, sometimes it looks perfect with more of one kind

And the other big are wonderful cats also. That sitting kitten is one of the cutest, most adorable models Schleich ever made

I like cheetahs too. Not always such a fan of Schleich, but I like these three cheetahs; it's hard to choose which is the best. Going back a few posts, I am happy to see that you collect Britains. The brown goats look good; unfortunately I don't know what they are either.

Nice collection.

Thank you so much Andreas, Adam, Susanne, Roger and Taylor!
I've had those 3 for a while, but I think I found them in a place called Wellington Country Park- I wish I collected seriously then as they had loads of interesting dogs there! And often in these wildlife parks, you can find some rare gems! And thank you, I never knew they were Nayab!
And I agree with you Susanne, the cheetah is adorable and warthogs do add a bit of fun to everything! And I love cheetahs too, in a way they are similar to salukis so I'm sure Fidda likes them- graceful and quick like her!
And I'm glad you like my Britains Roger, I actually have quite a few from my parents' childhoods, my granny is quite a keen collector, and I also grew up with them- so I do love my Britains animals! I love their rough collie as well, the brown and white version of their border collie, which I hope to add one day!

Adam identified it for you, the guy on the far left in the 2nd photo is a Nayab civet.

Nice collection Bonnie. So much models at 15 year old. If you don't stop you will have an army at 20

Thank you so much Kelly and Christophe!
Some of the models here are my sister's, and quite a few have been handed down by my parents
But I'm hoping that now I'm collecting only dogs, it may become more manageable!

Even if I am a fox collector,, this is my favorite group of animals in this hobby. When I started collecting, there was a fox figure in my house but the start was really when I’ve found the Papo felines. Their lioness walking, itger walking and cheetah were among my first acquisitions. I like a lot the current Schleich cheetah too and many other felines. Now you are more focused in dogs but it is amazing to see all this diversity in your collection.

Thank you so much Roger !
And I really agree with you, there are so many amazing wild felines, especially by Papo, that they are impossible to resist!
This year, even after becoming a dog collector, I still added the standing Papo tiger and it really is one of the best models I have seen!

Lovely batch if kitties. :)

Thank you so much Paige!

Interesting I'll have to check out Wellington Country Park even though it's almost 4 hours from my home.

Lilias, if you ever return I'd be very grateful if you could pick me up some figures, but how would you know what to pick up? Maybe PM me when you get there? Or tell me what figures can be found there?

Of course I would, the only problem is is that this was many years ago and I doubt they still have these!
But I'll definitely PM you next time I go and let you know what they have, as it's quite near to me!
