| I have a slightly random question. I was a bit confused by this eBay listing [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Is this an error? This looks like the Bullyland Westie to me (and not the Schleich). Is there an older Schleich Westie I don't know about? (Even if there were, it seems strange to me that it would have the same model number as the Schleich Westie I am familiar with.) Or perhaps I am confused in some other way? I'd be delighted to hear anyone's thoughts. |

| I found this page on the internet, with three different Westies. I think yours is a bullyland [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| I also think it is the Bullyland figure. But Schleich name sells better and also are heavier to justify this shipping. Let's see what our experts think about it. |

| I don't really think people in Ebay or internet shops in general care about the brand, or even pay attention to the products sometimes From the site I get Papo animals, the cheetah is named "leopard". It's a simple mistake, but I find it somewhat funny [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

I agree, someone has either got the brand wrong or as Roger says put "Schleich" in the title because it's a better known brand. _________________ Harriet My *Collection* My *Handmade Animal Sculpture*

| thanks everybody. That's what I thought (that it was the bullyland). I'm just surprised at the mistake, since the seller is Gaschers. They probably just put the wrong photo up. I doubt they are dong it intentionally, since they do have the actual Schleich Westie available for sale on their non-eBay website.
Susanne, thank you for the photos! I've been wanting to see a size comparison for the Bullyland Westie. (I was worried he might be too big for my taste; but he looks fine!)

Scott, I believe Bully dogs are in 1:12 scale, so theoretically they fit with traditional Schleich horses. Only recently Schleich started working their dogs in 1:20 scale. |

| Roger is right. The Schleich dogs were in scale 1 : 12 too from 1994 till 2009, then they made the small ones in 2010, no new ones in 2011, and this year no scale is obvious |
