Golden Retriever Puppy (LEGO 11384)

About this set

LEGO 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy sits in the LEGO Icons line with a 2102 part count and a 5/5 difficulty rating, built as a seated dog model. The mix is mostly beige, with a black nose, floppy ears, a teal collar holding a yellow round tag, and a pink tongue peeking out. The beige parts are layered to suggest fur direction, so sort beige, black, teal and yellow into separate trays before you start. Begin with the torso and the four legs to get the seated base solid, then close up the chest and neck. The tricky spots are the curved transitions around the head and the collar: the teal collar wraps the neck and the yellow tag sits front and center, so dry-fit before you clutch parts together, since a small offset breaks the symmetry. This is a set for builders who have finished mid-size models and want an animal sculpture, or for anyone who keeps a golden retriever on the desk. At 2102 parts it will take several evenings, so clear a wide workspace.
