She's got toy dalmatians of all sizes.
I have 206 items in my collection.
Have got and have are often the same. For example, you can also say:
She has toy dalmatians of all sizes.
I've got 206 items in my collection.
You can say:
She has now collected 196.
and:
I have breakfast before I go to work.
But you can't say:
She's got now collected 196.
I have got breakfast before I go to work.
The rule is: when they mean possess, have and have got are the same.
