LEGO® 4614195 - 92586pb01 - Dog German Shepherd with Pattern

The standard dog first appeared in 2004. Initially exclusive to the Harry Potter theme where it was representing Sirius Black. Eventually it appeared in the City line in 2006 and has featured in many sets, particularly as a police and fire dog. It was solid dark grey then solid brown with concave eyes and no printing.

In 2011 it was replaced by a new, more detailed mould with longer triangular ears and printed eyes and nose, which is supposed to resemble German Shepherd (Alsatian). In 2013 a new version (white with black printed spots) representing Dalmatian appeared in two sets of City theme.
