| Arf, so difficult choice...
From an aesthetic point of view, the great dane clearly.
But I am forced to vote for the chihuahua since my dog is from that breed ! _________________ Schleich 370 CollectA 76 Papo 61 Safari 24 Yujin 15 Southlands 12 Mojo 14 Maia&Borges 5 Bullyland 1 Recur 1 Homemade 3 Bootleg 1 Total 582

| Great Dane by Safari Ltd, Safari has the most realism in my view. _________________ http://www.collectorsquest.com/collector/1313/willybacoman

| So interesting that the Great Pyrenees is currently ahead of the Great Dane! But both are such amazing models, and as Susanne says, it's a shame they both can't win! And also so interesting to see that the Chihuahua has 5 votes! |

| I really like this category Greetings especially to Bonnie My vote went for the wonderful Great Dane. I just love this model ! But I see that the Papo Great Pyrenees will be the winner and I am still very happy, because it is a wonderful model too , and I love Papo dogs. Also it is a breed, very rare for the toy world :) _________________ KOSTA |

| 80% of the votes in two figures! It is a bipolar category as it was expected. Well, as it is aparently decided, I can share my choice and it was the Great Dane too. It is the best model of htis category in my opinion. Though, as Kosta pointed, there are a few points where the Great Pyrenees is more interesting. Yes, it is a more unusual breed and Papo, as a French company, took a clever decision releasing it. It is subjective but I think it represents also a more beautiful dog, and the pose of the Papo has some energy while the Safari model is in a very classic standing pose although perfect for this breed. I think the Great Pyrenees Dog also brings to the memory of my generation, the anime of the begining of 1980's called Belle et Sebastien where Belle, one of the protagonists, was a Pyrenees Dog. |

| I think Great Dane is quite lovely, maybe a bit too smooth texture and too flat paintwork for my taste, but overall it is a lovely model. But it's true that I just find the Great Pyrenees more beautiful. The breed reminds me of the Tatra Shepherd dog, a breed that's quite popular in the neighborhood where I grew up. I didn't grow up near the Tatra mountains but it is also popular in other regions of the Carpathian mountains, including Beskidy. _________________ Anna Horse and Bird studio - Horse sculptures My model horse collection

| I agree with everything that has been said- both are gorgeous models and both have their positives ( And very few, if any, negatives!) I went for the Great Dane- although I found it so hard to pick between this model and the Toy Poodle- I'm actually surprised like Susanne that this lovely model doesn't have more votes! When I hold this model in my hand I can't help but be amazed at the detail on something so small- and it is a very small and delicate model, the tiny feet, the slightly pink tummy and the beautiful head- it is perfection! But then the Great Dane was stunning, and with perfect proportions, that in the end I went for this gentle giant! But definitely, if I were to vote on breed I would pick the Papo Pyrenees, I love how Papo are leading the way with their breeds, from them we have had much more variety, whereas for a company like Schleich, it seems that generation after generation we get repeats of breeds- but of course they are still lovely! So I am very happy that the Pyrenees will win, because I just love how Papo are being brave and sculpting beautiful models with these dynamic poses- and of breeds that are so unusual compared to the standard ones usually released! So these three are all winners in my eyes, and 2020 definitely marks a special year for dogs! And Tatra Shepherd Dogs are just wonderful Ana! |

| My favourite category poll, and what a wonderful winner! The beautiful Great Pyrenees, the choice of breed, the pose, and the detail of the fur, this fluffy white beauty definitely deserves to win- and what a battle it was between the Great Dane, and so interesting- I never thought that the votes would so strongly be between these two! And the final results interested me too- the Chihuahua came third, over the CollectA Toy Poodle! But then Chihuahuas are irresistible, and the pose on this little dog is very 'chihuahuay' - but the CollectA Poodle for me is stunning! And all the other dogs on the list are wonderful in their own ways too, they could all be winners! And so interesting to see previous winners too- with the amazing Papo dogs taking them all but the first competition, the astounding KC Shiba Inu! |

| Had it not been for the Chihuahua, I would have voted for either the Great Pyrenees or the Poodle...but I have the Chihuahua and I still can't get over how much nicer it is than the original photo of it that Schleich released! |
