If you love puppies and dogs, you are sure to love these life-size dogs constructed with Lego bricks. These are located in one of the Legolands and they are amazingly accurate and intricate.

Domesticated to be working and companion animals, dogs have been living with humans for centuries. Dogs in early human settlements have proven to be very important especially for areas where there were a lot of snow since they needed sled dogs to bring them from one place to another. Dogs were also used for hunting, herding and for protection. Apart from being pets, dogs today also serve in the military and the police. They are also members of rescue and retrieval teams.

There are around 400 million dogs today and some of them serve as aides to the handicapped. Over the centuries man have learned how to breed dogs specific for certain types of work. Some scientists believe that around 15, 000 years ago, dogs started to diverge from their wolf family while others say that humans domesticated wolves which in turn became the dog breed. The history is more intricate of course but basically, that is how it happened.

Dog lovers are fascinated by this history especially those who own German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies because these dogs breeds are the closest relatives of the wolf. Since dogs are so loved, it is not a surprise that many Lego enthusiasts have built dogs out of the little coloured bricks, no matter how difficult it is to do so.

If you are interested in dog minifigs, there are a few available in certain sets you would just have to search for them. If you want to make a life-size dog out of the Danish bricks however, you should make sure that you have enough bricks to build it. You might also want to start your planning by using Lego’s computer program so that you have assistance in your Lego building project.

Dogs are cute whether they are bricks or not.
