The Rhodesian Ridgeback has a distinctive feature on its back: The hairs there grow in the opposite direction from the rest and create a narrow comb of hair that stands up from the body. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are popular family dogs due to their even-tempered and loyal nature. They are also very intelligent. The four-legged friends love being active and enjoy dog sports such as agility training.<

Fun fact: The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a dog breed that originated in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements.  Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys.  Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance.  They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production.  All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71. 

Recommended for 3+.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
