Pound Puppy with babies

22 replies

SOT3 · 24/09/2021 06:45

When my children were small they had a mother dog and three little babies (I think they were called Pound Puppies).

I would love to buy similar for my grandchildren now but can't see them anywhere, does anyone know where I could find them please?
I wouldn't mind a cat with kittens as an alternative.

I've seen pound puppies on the Very website but without babies but you can get the ones with babies in Smyths, they're called something else though.

Bloody hell thought this was real animals, not toys

V relieved!

I bought some pound puppies on Amazon this week! Took me right back to my childhood!

Op I'm with you.
I loved this as a child and I know my dc would LOVE it too but I've not seen it anywhere.

Hope they bring it back.

Is it definitely Pound Puppies?

There’s Puppy Surprise and Kitty Surprise which is a mother with babies inside - they were relaunched around 5 years ago so some shops might still have them

This request comes up quite frequently, the pound puppy people are really missing a trick not bringing them back.
Anyway, I got a decent "vintage" set off ebay as (as far as I know) they don't make the old style ones where you can open the underside of the big one and stuff the little ones in anymore.

I had one when I was a child, was my favourite toy as I wanted to be a vet and preforming a csection on a toy dog (opening the Velcro) was just the best thing ever 🤣. It’s great that they have brought back pound puppies but I’m disappointed that there isn’t one with babies in it’s tummy.

NigellaSeed · 24/09/2021 16:32

Remember the Pound Puppies you used to get in Weetos? They were great

CiaoForNiao · 24/09/2021 16:38

I had the "puppy surprise" one as a child. I loved it so much. Iirc it was a pale pink, blue and yellow dog. So realistic. Grin

Curlymam88 · 24/09/2021 16:39

How about puppy surprise? I think they sell them in argos and smyths. They do cat ones too. My DD had one a few years back.

BertieBotts · 24/09/2021 16:48

I remember pound puppies and yes I def had some from Weetos!

I don't think they do them quite the same any more.

Famousfrays · 24/09/2021 16:50

There’s loads of vintage toys on Etsy. I’m sure there are some pound puppies on there

MissDollyMix · 24/09/2021 16:52

I had a pound puppy with babies when I was little. I adored it. My absolute favourite. It mysteriously went missing one day. We never found out where it went. I was distraught! To the extent that when my parents sold my family home 25 years later I was still hoping it might turn up somewhere! I’ve told my dd (8) this sorry tale and she’s desperate to buy me a replacement but alas we can’t find an exact one!

SOT3 · 25/09/2021 13:37

Thank you all so much for replying, and for your help.

I agree that the company is missing the mark by not still doing the dog with puppies option, my children spent hours playing with theirs and I really wish I had kept them for my grandchildren now.

You could probably find them on eBay! I still have mine!!

StyleOfTheTimes · 26/09/2021 20:25

Were they a plush teddy or a plastic toy? I know I used to have puppy in my pocket families when I was little. You’d get a mother and some puppies, they’d come in a little plastic dog bed.

BashfulClam · 26/09/2021 20:29

Aw yes I had this. Three pups, one had closed eyes and there was a gap in the tummy of the ‘mother dog’ for them!

Redsquirrel5 · 26/09/2021 23:19

Yes, DD had one for Christmas or maybe it was DS3 I think I still have it but one of the pups were missing last time I saw it. I kept a lot of my kids toys and books but we don’t have any grand children. DD is the youngest at 30. Beginning to think we should get rid of them.

brightwhite · 26/09/2021 23:29

@Redsquirrel5 that's lovely you have kept the toys.

My dad threw away my most treasured bag of cuddly toys (1 from a nan who passed away and my comfort teddy I only put in a bag due to secondary school fears of being babyish!)
This pound puppy and babies was in it. He probably took it to the tip. Gosh it's brought tears to my eyes writing that!
