Melissa & Doug Giant German Shepherd - Lifelike Stuffed Animal Dog (Over 2 feet Tall)

Melissa and Doug have a reputation as repping excellent quality items and this plush German shepherd life like dog toy is definitely a quality item. I really don’t know why I purchased it other than it was on sale and I love dogs. I’m really too old to have plush animals however I really really like this beautiful toy. So far I have been looking for the perfect place to put her and she is currently watching over my hallway. The proportions are very close to a real dog and after loosing my k9 companion a couple of months ago I have to admit that it felt good to touch this beautiful plush dog. My remaining real live German shepherd does not have a problem with this toy. I simply introduced them the same asi would if the dog was a real living breathing dog. The sniffing began and then all was good . My real dog doesn’t mind having this life size dog in the house and she has left it alone and hasn’t chewed on it at all. I’m very very happy with this purchase and if I had someone who would love it, I would absolutely give as gifts. I have thought about buying this and some realistic looking plug kitties for my local nursing home as I’m pretty confident that this would be an awesome addition to the memory care patients. I know that my gifting of plush kitties and nice baby dolls have been well received. I would definitely purchase again and this is definitely gift worthy.

I sell red light for pets, most people use them for dogs. So I wanted to display this at a vendor wellness event, and boy what a hit!!!! I have name him Vagus (like the vagus nerve) and he was my "model". Vagus displayed my pet red light (which actually also has NIR, green and blue lights as well). These things are a hit (QVBioBalance.com) to pet parents and they go out of stock often, thanks Vagus and to Melissa & Doug for such a lifelike dog. We let people come and pet him too. It was so funny because they would make comments like wow he's obedient LOL.

Got this German Shepherd for my 7 yr. old daughter for Christmas. I thought I was done with my Christmas shopping until I received an email from Amazon, clicked on it and a picture of this dog opens up! It was so cute online that I had to order it!! My daughter absolutely loves this thing! We have a G.S. which is why I got this for her. Problem is, they are hard to tell apart!! This dog is so real looking, it's scary!! There have been times when I have gone into my daughters room thinking it was "our" dog and here it's not the real one!! Anyone who is a dog lover needs to have one of these, depending on what breed of dog they like. Melissa & Doug's products are always high quality also. This dog is very, very sturdy also. Obviously, who needs more "stuffed" animals, believe me, I felt the same way, but I definitely don't regret getting this guy!!!

I lost my beloved German Shepherd Thor to cancer this last February. He was larger than life and filled my days with so much happiness. I wanted to keep his collar and have a token to remember him by and snuggle with until I can muster the courage to be a dog mom again. This stuffy is 100% so impressive. It's soft, sits up on it's own and is quite well made. You can see in the picture that it's wearing my old dogs collar which gives you an idea of size. He was 98lbs so his neck was quite large. The collar fits the doll perfectly. It startled me for the 1st few days when I would see it out of the corner of my eye and thought he was in the house. I wasn't the only one because I heard a friend yell out "Oh- Thor!" and then laughter when she realized she had been punked by a stuffed animal. So I clearly am not the only one. This is a very special stuffy- it is very cuddly. Buy with confidence. It's well made and very attractive.

I’m a CPDT-KA dog trainer. I got this along with an extra leash to use as a decoy dog when working with dog-reactive dogs. To this day it has been convincing enough to every single dog I’ve used it around. It is kinda strenuous “hopping” it around on the leash since it can’t move itself (lol), but it really does look real. I even keep the tag on the ear since I bought it so that if I have it in my car, people will see the tag and not break my windows thinking I left a dog in the heat. My boyfriend thinks it’s creepy and so does my cat, lol. Size: Same size as the dog it is mimicking Functionality: Used as a training tool with other dogs Value for money: it feels very sturdy and well made, and has held up well through multiple training sessions both indoors and outside.

We got this for our daughter's 8th birthday. She is obsessed with German Shephards. We got squeels of excitment when she opened it. Of course its not going to be just perfect, and for the price I thought it was great! Its a little stiff, probably not real good for cuddling, but my daughter has it set up in her room by her bed as her protector. I will say it was realistic enough to startle me when I walked by her room at night!

I can't begin to tell you the number of drive thru personnel who have asked if this dog would enjoy a treat! They are amazed to hear he isn't real. I fell in love with this recreation from the first time I saw him in a local storefront window. I immediately called and asked if he was for sale and I was told he was a Melissa and Doug creation and he could be purchased through Amazon. I just love him! Thank you so much Melissa and Doug and Amazon!

Ruff ruff says the dog! This one is awesome!!

Parfait Merci

muy bonito, a mi hija le encanto, hasta le puso nombre!!

We bought this cool German Shepherd to demonstrate our product at a Christman Market launch last month, because it was not fair to have a live dog on the stand all day :) He was perfect - all the visiting dogs loved him and adults and kids loved him too. He was a great 'show-stopper'. You can see how tall he is next to us in the Team shot - life size as advertised.

My grand daughter absolutely loved her full size German shepherd. Well worth the expense

BUENA CALIDAD Y TAMAÑO REAL
