The German Shepherd dog was originally bred to herd sheep. But no matter what task you give it, it will take on any challenge enthusiastically and master it with unparalleled determination and great courage. Therefore, it is also ideal as a guide dog, a dutiful guard and police dog and as a reliable rescue dog. When well trained, it is also a great family dog and very chield-friendly. But the energetic, active dog would not be satisfied with a life on a sofa.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and paints. These are carefully selected on the basis of the specific requirements. Among the most important plastics types we use are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), actrylnitril butadiene styrene (ABS) and other typical plastics for toys. Starting at the material suppliers, there is strict scrutiny from our quality assurance representatives. The paints used are perfectly adapted to the various types of plastic and have the greatest mechanical and chemical resistance. They ensure that Schleich products last a long time and make all of our products resistant to perspiration, saliva and wear – meaning they are completely safe to play with. The product is released for production only when it meets all the laws, standards and guidelines.
