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.

Oh I can’t say enough about this dog. So realistic , soft and durable. My 9 year old grandson Shepard had passed and looked just like one. Gave it to him for Christmas and he cried he was so happy.

So many people stated our “new dog” looks so realistic! The perfect companion for those who love dogs but can’t have them because of work/traveling!

This stuffed animal made a great Christmas present and looks exactly like pictured.

The media could not be loaded. As a pro dog trainer, I bought this stuffy to use for demonstrations and also to test dog reactivity. It’s nice and big and sits up well and is very like like. I’m pleasantly surprised!

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!!!

From far away up to a few feet away, This is a fairly realistic German shepherd stuffed animal. The face is a little strange it kind of looks like a horse, but all in all it is perfect for what I need it for.I make knit and crocheted dog sweaters and coats so I use this as my “form“ while I’m making them. Then I take this dog and smaller ones I purchased earlier and put the sweaters and coats on them and display them at the farmers market and outdoor pop up market where I sell my crocheted items. They are surely a big hit! Almost every single person comes into my pop-up tent because the dogs are so realistic looking from far away.

Bought for our grandsons birthday. He absolutely loves it!!!!!
