Basic Fun Pound Puppies Classic Stuffed Animal Plush Toy - Great Gift for Girls & Boys - 17" - Red with Black Spots

I was so excited to hear that Pound Puppies were making a comeback for 2019/20! I've always loved Pound Puppies - when I was a little kid in the 90s, I had a few of the much smaller Pound Puppies plushies, and I continued collecting them as the toy franchise repeatedly changed hands/got rebooted throughout the 90s - 2000s! I also happened to find quite a few original 80s ones while traversing antique stores/flea markets. I just love dogs and I particularly never could say no to stuffed animals with sad, downtrodden expressions.I chose this Pound Puppy in particular (the white one with brown spots) because it reminded me of an 80s one I used to have that I loved. I love him! He has a soft, smooth fabric texture similar to an 80s Pound Puppy, he's stuffed a just-right amount which allows him to be sturdy yet still cuddly and floppy, and his collar even has a name tag that can be personalized (during the 80s, you could send a mail-away requesting a personalized Pound Puppy nametag, as well as an adoption certificate and a sheet of stickers, per archived commercials on YouTube)! By and large, these repro Pound Puppies are adorable and more or less identical to the 80s toys in terms of appearance....On a related note, the packaging housing the plush puppy is more or less the same as it was in the 80s as well! Included with each 17-inch Pound Puppy is a personalizable adoption certificate and stickers. I can't recommend these sweet retro Pound Puppies enough, whether you know a child who would love one, or if you grew up with them and want one for nostalgic reasons. :)

We bought this as a gift for a 4 year old who quickly fell in love with it and sleeps with it every night! My own children (4 and 6) have one each as well and they have gotten a lot of love and play. I actually still have my original Pound Puppy from 1986 and this looks and feels very, very similar. I was so pleased to see that since many of the "retro" toys I find for my kids are not the same quality they used to be. The Pound Puppies come in a box that looks like a dog house, which adds to the play. My kids loved the concept of the adoption certificate and naming the puppies. They quickly set up a Pet Adoption Center and a Veterinarian Office with their pretend play things. This is currently my go-to gift for preschoolers, and I would recommend it for kids ages 3-8...and parents who were born in the 1980's!

I love this! I ordered the white one with spots and the poodle online, but i got the newborns at a store.These little cuties are so great for cuddling!! The bow on the poodle is adorble, and the 17 in size is perfect for cuddling. It is also has a great fit in Build A Bear Promise Pets clothing, so its fun to accessorize!The newborns are great if you cant fit your big, cuddly, pound puppy in your travel bag. The newborns are 7 in compared to the larger 17 in size, so great to fit in your backpack, purse, ect. I just love them, they are all adorable!!!!

Identical to my childhood one love

If you remember these from your childhood you are in luck! Unlike the others coming back with classics we loved as a kid.. these pound puppies are the real OG. :) I lost mine and was upset for years and was so excited to buy my four year old the same exact one I had! Thank you so much for keeping something nostalgic and the same!! Love it!! Great gift and ridiculous soft!!

I am so so happy I found this. My toddler loves dogs and has been wanting a new toy. I got him this and he loves it. Goes everywhere with us. It's soft, came packaged really cute, shipped fast. Definitely think it was worth the price. Thank you for selling these cute 80s toys. I loved them so much as a child and so happy my son loves it too.

When I was a kid, my dad got my mom one of these as a gift and I stole it because I was like 5. I named it Fluffy and I took her everywhere with me to the point that the fabric wore off and it was not soft anymore. I still have Fluffy, she's what you'd expect from a stuffed animal that was taken everywhere by a child.Fast forward to almost 20 years later and me seeing this on Amazon. I knew what I had to do. I got it and instantly gave it to my mother, but with one rule, she must name her Fluffy. Fluffy lays between my parents' pillows and my mom adores it. I feel bad for stealing the first Fluffy, but I also adored it too much.

I was a little cautious about ordering this Pound Puppy. I had read reviews that stated sometimes the puppy you got was not the one you ordered. I am pleased to say though that the puppy I recieved in record time was exactly the puppy I had ordered. I had one of these in my childhood, and while it is not the same (the foam of old is not used in these latest incarnations) it is a very good facsimile. A little smaller than the previous pups, but no less adorable. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
