Review: The Dachshund We Never Knew We Needed - So, let me tell you about the day a dachshund showed up on our doorstep—ordered by none other than our 6-year-old son via Alexa. Yes, you read that right. Our sweet, tech-savvy little boy had a moment of brilliance (or mischief?) and thought he was getting himself a real dog. Imagine his excitement when his “dashund” arrived and our utter confusion when we opened the box to find a lifelike stuffed animal. To his credit, this Melissa & Doug Dachshund is very realistic, so I guess we can’t blame him for being a little too optimistic about what Alexa can do. After a family meeting filled with laughter (and some stern lessons about not shopping without permission), we decided to let him keep it. And honestly? We have zero regrets! This stuffed dachshund is soft, well-made, and surprisingly durable, considering it’s been carried, hugged, and slept on daily. It’s now his best friend, and he sleeps with it every night, proudly declaring it’s “the best dashund ever.” Honestly, the stuffed dog has been far less maintenance than a real one—no vet bills, no barking, and it’s perfectly house-trained. Oh, and to top it all off, when we took a picture to commemorate his new “pet,” we realized our son had written all over himself with marker. So now we have a photo of him, his new dachshund, and a masterpiece drawn on his own arms and legs. A parenting moment for the books! We’ve since learned our lesson about Alexa (goodbye, saved payment info!), but we’ll always laugh when we see this plush pup lounging on the couch like it owns the place. If you’re on the fence about this product—whether you’re in the market for a stuffed dog or your kid’s next “accidental” desertcart purchase—just get it. You won’t regret it, and neither will your kid! Final verdict: Five stars for durability, snuggles, and being the best unplanned family member we’ve ever adopted!
Review: Adorable. Large size. Realist looking. - This dog comes in 2 sizes. I purchased the larger size one. He's very realistic looking. Super cute. We'll made. Nice fake fur. Cute ears. Short legs. Long snout. His chest is puffed out, so he wears a size medium in regular pet dog clothing. His limbs are stiff, so he's not easy to dress, so I bought this sweet red sweatshirt that has snaps. Excellent value for money. Totally giftable for any age person. Light weight enough for kids to carry around. His nose was made a bit crooked and also his mouth. Keep that in mind, I see it in some reviews. Coloring is great and just like a mini Dachshund. I definitely recommend this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this dog be proper as a way to model hand made coats and sweaters for dachshunds? If not, does anyone know of one that would be?
Thank you.**
A: I think it would, but this plush is quite a bit smaller than a regular size doxie.  This is more of a mini size.  I had what they call a tweenie dox and this plush would be too small for a tweenie also.  I think you could model after, but increase the size of the garment.

**Q: how big is it?**
A: It's about as big as our real mini dachshund. Our granddaughter loves him but they can't have pets so we got it for her for her birthday and she loves it.

**Q: I want to buy dog outfits for it.  How long is it's back, not including the head?**
A: I really don't know, because it was a gift for Christmas to my grand daughter who has a black one just like this toy one. My daughter said it's very cute and looks like their dog. I will try and get the measurement you need. If you have the dog take it to the pet store and that way you will know the exact size you need. You gave me a idea to get little toy dog some clothes too.  Thanks!

**Q: what makes it multilingual. Does it talk?**
A: No it does not talk. Just a plain ole stuffed animal.
