The new 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy is the latest addition to the list of life-sized LEGO pets in a growing, multi-theme collection.
The LEGO Group lifted the curtain on the 2,102-piece 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy earlier today, launching on February 1, 2026, as what will be the latest in a growing range of LEGO models of animals that are commonly kept as pets, which are life-sized or exceedingly close to that scale.
Many of these models are aimed at appealing to an older audience, but the idea of life-sized LEGO animals is certainly not exclusive to adults. Here's a look at the LEGO Group's current range of life-sized pet recreations.
LEGO Ideas
Over in LEGO Ideas, you can enjoy the feline companionship of 21349 Tuxedo Cat, which arguably started the modern era of this LEGO trend. The 2024 build features 1,710 pieces and remains available as one of the mid-range options on this list, costing £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99. The cat is slightly too small compared to the average size of real cats, but it's close enough to be considered part of this range.
More recent is 21365 Love Birds, featuring 750 pieces for £44.99 / $49.99 / €49.99. The pair of smaller, but accurate birds is based on the species of birds which can be kept as pets around the world, though most of this set's piece count goes towards the tree they're perched on.
LEGO Icons
LEGO Icons is where the most expensive of the life-sized LEGO pets can be found. There's the £4,154-piece 10366 Tropical Aquarium for £399.99 / $479.99 / €449.99, acting as the ultimate display piece of this collection. This November 2025 release features several moving parts to simulate the fish swimming around the tank and other features.
11384 Golden Retriever Puppy is the latest of the LEGO pets to be revealed, measuring 30cm tall, or about as big as a three-month old puppy. The £129.99 / $139.99 / €139.99 build launches on February 1, 2026, but is available to pre-order now.
LEGO Creator 3-in-1
For more affordable life-sized LEGO pets, Creator 3-in-1 has you covered. The new 31376 Cute Hamster with a Flower and 31377 Turtle with a Water Lily Flower cost £8.99 / $9.99 / €9.99 each, recreating the smaller pets for budget-conscious fans of all ages. They're good alternatives to the bigger LEGO pet models, and 31376 Cute Hamster with a Flower is particularly realistic.
Honourable mention: Disney
There's also LEGO Disney's 43269 101 Dalmatians to consider, though it's based on animated Dalmatians rather than the real breed. Despite the fictional source material, 43269 101 Dalmatians is still life-sized and should pair well with the upcoming 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy.
