Tail As Old As Time

Our story begins about 14,000 years ago, at least, according to the earliest archaeological evidence. Historians with shovels found a grave site in Germany where a human was laid to rest alongside their poochy pal - the first concrete historical evidence of domestication. The dog even had some evidence of injuries that had healed over time; clearly, it had been cared for, because in the animal kingdom, one injury, and ya done, son. 💀

The wider scientific opinion is that wolves actually self-domesticated at some point. It’s hard to pin down any specifics, but some finds in Belgium from around 30,000 years back showed smaller snouts and weaker jaws. It seemed like some nice wolves caught a whiff of campfire meat, and decided to stick around because it was easier to get fed in exchange for pets. Those aren’t traits that wolves would naturally evolve on their own, so the common thinking here is that the find may just have been domesticated doggos. This, of course, is not solid proof like the Germany find - just some pretty compelling evidence that our good bois have been around a hot minute. 

Fast forward to Ancient Egypt - wow, that sentence sounds weird out of context - and we’ve got people thinking of their pupper pals as a spiritual connection to Anubis. If you’re not a history buff or anything, Anubis was kind of important; he was basically a dog-headed god in charge of the dead. This made respect for dogs VERY real back then. So real, in fact, that Egyptians would give their dogs strong names, like “Brave One”, and would even mummify the pups once they crossed the rainbow bridge. That’s right, Egyptians treated their dogs like actual royalty. Kinda makes you splurging on canned food seem low-effort by comparison, but I’m not judging. 🍖

Once humans started figuring out how to grow their own food, dogs were cast into a starring role. This kind of thing started happening around 12,000 years ago, and once the doggos got a taste of human food and hospitality, it was a wrap. It was also around this time that different breeds started popping up - more functional ones at first, bred to help out with keeping sheep, sniffing stuff out, and the like. 

People were bonding with their good bois and girls in a big way, and the emotional connection was so real that people being buried alongside their furry friends became a common thing. This, in turn, led to dogs changing more over time to better fit their new companion role. It wouldn’t be until much later, of course, that we started to see breeds that would tie in nicely to our products - German Shepherd Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal in the making, baby! Among other breeds, of course. 🐕🦺

As different societies gave dogs different roles, they evolved and in some cases were purposefully bred to suit them. Chinese imperial wants to look fly? Pekingese in the sleeve! Greek and Roman generals trying to build the perfect war dog? Molossian hound to the rescue! It was basically an ancient Mastiff, generally speaking. This all happened between 3,200 and 2,500 years ago. Doggies got popular enough that leash laws also started popping up around this time - mostly to keep ancient peoples’ dogs from dropping an ancient deuce in the streets. 

It was in the leadup to the Renaissance era that selective breeding went absolutely bonkers. As it turns out, puppers were surprisingly good at adapting to their environments and different needs. We had terriers helping to sniff out rats, royals hanging out with lil’ lapdogs like the Maltese (which you can grab for yourself with our beloved Maltese Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal), and during the Black Plague, one of the deadliest events in human history, the goodest bois and girls stepped up in a big way. Doggos were known to do things like guard sick people, help find food, and according to some reports, even alert people to the spread of infection so that quarantine efforts could happen early and quick. Talk about a good dog! 🐩

Across Europe, they started to take dog breeding seriously around the 1600s. This was when we started to see the first Kennel Clubs, in the modern form we know them as today. Dog shows also started up around this time, though they featured only pointers and setters at first. The rise of Kennel Clubs and dog shows led to the creation of key breed standards, giving breeders something to shoot for. 

This period saw the rise of the Boxer and the Schnauzer Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal ... erm, I mean, the Schnauzer, among others. Toy breeds even became popular during this time, thanks in large part to Queen Victoria’s infamous love of Pomeranians. Silly-looking doggos, tiny doggos, and even squishy-faced doggos like the Pug all got their day in the sun here. 🐩

This slow burn led us to where we are now; we’ve got big, drooly bois, and tiny girls of all shapes and sizes. We’ve got puppers who’ve been purpose-bred down the years for all sorts of work, and lazy doggos built for nothing more than treats and naps. This is the part of the timeline where you chill with your Golden Retriever between hunting trips, Of course, if you want something a bit less messy and attention-starved, you could always go with our Golden Retriever Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal. 

In any case, dogs in modern times are more often companions than working dogs - with some exceptions. Guide dogs for the blind, medical assistance dogs, and police K-9 units all walk common career paths. This era was marked by a number of high-achieving doggies, the goodest of good bois and girls; Sergeant Stubby, for example, was a famously decorated Boston Terrier who served in 17 different battles in World War 1. 🇺🇸

Petite, Perfect, and Pupper-Approved 

Real pups come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and growth rates - a 6 month old Boxer may be as big as a baby elephant (but still think it fits snugly in your lap), while a 6 month old Chihuahua is probably just above microscopic. Our Chihuahua Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal, on the other hand, is a standard 8.6 inches tall, just like all its pupper pals. 

Each and every barking boofball has the same bill of high-quality materials; on the outside, you’re looking at soft plush polyester that’s silky-smooth, built tough, and easy to clean. The inner filling, meanwhile, is made from polypropylene cotton down that’s so darn soft and squishy that you could almost swear you’re cuddling a real canine. The soulful glass eyes help the illusion along; the way they catch the light and their deep coloration mimics real dogs beautifully. All of these materials are combined seamlessly (quite literally; no zippers or visible stitching!) to create a collection of smol beans that will melt your heart for years to come. 💕

On The Care and Feeding Of Plush Puppers

Think being a useful pooch is reserved for trained doggos with vests and harnesses? Think again! Our Puppy Paradise collection is chock full of playful pups that are ready to faithfully serve; just give ‘em the right job! 

Kiddos love this collection, and for good reason! The way children bond with their material possessions is different, and often way deeper, than the way adults do. You may love your work laptop because it makes being a boss effortless, but when your five-year-old daughter gets her hands on Bruno and has him on guard duty during her nap? It just hits different, and can help her sleep more soundly. 😴

If you’ve got somebody with sensory issues, this collection is just too perfect. Consistent feel? Check. No loud colors? Check. No overwhelming smells? Check. Smooth and squishy? Ultra-check. ✅ 

A lot of people are forced to rent in this economy, and that limits their pet options. Total bummer, right? But all is not lost! Can’t have a real Shih Tzu around because of the lease? Daisy the Shih Tzu Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal has your back, and she’s ready to play! 

If you’re looking for the perfect comfort gift to send to that one ex you’re still awkward friends with, or maybe a grandparent watching their significant other slowly decline (woah, that got dark FAST), these lil pups fit the bill perfectly! They’re adorable, soulful, squeezy, and all-too-easy to love! 

On a tamer note (Get it? Dogs? Taming? Come on, this is comedy gold, people!), you could always employ these enterprising floofs to help with your decor. Embrace your inner royalty with a Bichon Frise Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal as a sofa centerpiece, or put a Saint Bernard Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal on guard duty near your door or on your mantle, to add a touch of soft strength to your home’s vibe. 🏡

Pack Loyalty: What They All Share 

The Puppy Paradise collection of plush dog toys isn’t some rag-tag street band with a lovable doofus at the helm, as seen ad nauseum in old animated movies. Nay, this is a pack with consistency. Let’s go over what they all do oh-so-right, shall we? 🐾

• Premium materials
• Exquisite and realistic details
• No visible stitches, zippers, or seams 
• Same height and size 
• Soulful glass eyes that seem to look past your sins and to the core of your inner beauty (which is radiant, by the way, dear reader) 

And beyond the physical? These pups have heart, they’ve got a story to tell, and they’ve each got their personality! Bruno the Saint Bernard Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal, for example? Expert guardsman! Maria the Chihuahua Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal? Total dancing queen. And we can’t forget Pierre the French Bulldog Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal, who’s a foodie with serious taste and a love for macarons. Can you say “baking bud”? Or perhaps you’d prefer Koda the Husky Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal, who’s a seasoned adventurer with tons of outdoor expertise? No matter which one (or maybe a few!) you choose, you’ll get a companion with real heart and rich character. 

Sit, Stay, Love: Why You’ll Want Them All 

Being a pet parent is one of the most rewarding experiences life has to offer, but not everybody is ready for that level of commitment (or cleanup). No worries, the Puppy Paradise collection is here to fill the gap! Here’s a few brief points to help you envision how these charming guys and gals can fit into your life. 🐶

• No worries about allergies, or even shedding! 
• No need to train - these good doggies are already the best doggies!
• They’ll ALWAYS sit and stay on command. Doing a flip or catching a treat... well, those ones may take a bit of help. 
• Consistent sizing for collectable vibes and easy shelf appeal.
• Consistent aesthetics, because a ragtag band of misfits is good for saving the world, but not so good for decor.  
• 12 different pups to collect and cherish 
• Personality for days - each pupper has their own path, talents, likes and dislikes! Maria is the cutest dancer this side of the Rio Grande, Koda knows all the best trails, and Max will tell you honestly if your attempt at the Spartan Beard hits like King Leonidas’ spear or sinks like Xerxes’ fleet at Salamis. (glub glub 🌊)
  

Paws and Reflect: The Minor Cons 

There may be a few reasons that the time just isn’t right to welcome a stuffed dog plush into your life - I get it. Or maybe just some things to consider before purchase, yeah? In any case, let’s dive into a few cons you may want to consider. 

• These furry friends won’t replace the real deal - there’s no connection quite like the one between a pet and their pet parent. Dogs are called “man’s best friend” for a reason, after all. 
• These lil’ guys and gals are NOT ready for pillow duty! They may Stand Proud, but they do it at a shadow-casting 8.6 inches - that’s like trying to use a pillow made for a doll! 
• These pups are forever young, and will never grow up. Depending on who you ask, of course, that may be a good thing. 
• Only 12 in the collection - if you’ve got a specific breed in mind, it may not be here. Likewise, if you were thinking of building a massive collection to fill a whole room, I’ve got some bad news for you, friend. 
• Not machine washable - the premium materials can easily deform if you try that, and I don’t mean deform in a good way, like Pug breeding. 
• No toe beans. (big sad 😭)
  

The Puppy Parade Grows On 

What does the future hold for the 12 distinctive pups that round out the Puppy Paradise collection? With any luck, a spot in your home! But seriously, this collection has potential. Let’s fire up the ol’ crystal ball, eh? 

For starters, it’s entirely possible that more pups will join the collection in due time. This depends a lot on suppliers’ whims, and of course, on demand for the collection products. (read; buy more please 💰) Who knows what the future holds? Outfits and accessories, perhaps? A holiday sub-collection? Maybe we’ll pander to the anime fans with a Corgi Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal. Maybe we’ll get some size diversity as the breed list grows? After all, a Teacup Chihuahua Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed animal and a Cane Corso Puppy Plushie Dog Stuffed Animal have a few things in common, and one of them is the 8.6 inches is a weird size. Either way, we sincerely hope to host some new puppy plush releases soon! 

Some pups may also leave the pack over time - that also depends on the suppliers. You, dear reader, are advised to act quickly if you’re interested in adopting one of our esteemed puppy pals. This store certainly isn’t a shelter running short on funds, but logistical issues can happen! This could also manifest as pups going temporarily missing from the shop and coming back later - think of it as Maria going to her dancing class, or Koda heading out for a walk.

Frequently Barked Questions 

There’s no question that having a collection of plush puppy toys at your beck and call is a wonderful thing. Even so, there may be a couple paws still raised in the house. Don’t have an accident, poochy pals, we’ve got you covered with our handy-dandy FBQ section! These frequently barked questions will cover most everything you need to know to welcome one (or more) of the twelve delightful plush pups on offer into your home - no housebreaking necessary! 

• Are the products in the Puppy Paradise plushie collection totally safe for pets and children? Bork yeah they are! What you’re looking at here is a collection of twelve distinctive plush pets for kids, grownups, and even some softer-mouthed pets. All of these are lovingly crafted with materials of only the highest quality - tough, yet soft polyester for the outside, with polypropylene cotton down on the inside that will stay silky through all kinds of events. There’s also a distinct lack of any buttons, zippers, or visible stitching. 
• How do you clean these pups? When it comes to bath time, these dogs are severely anti-robot. Seriously - tossing them in the machine can cause fading, shrinkage, or worse. Don’t do that to your new pupper pal! Instead, give them a gentle hand wash with mild soap and warm water; you’ll have a wonderful bathtime bonding experience, and your pup will be clean and undamaged! 
• Can we get some cute little outfits or other accessories? That may happen in the future, but for now, we’re not exactly a full-service pet shop. All you can buy in this collection, for the moment, is the stuffed dog toys themselves. Cute outfits, small toys for the pups, backdrops, and more can work with these guys - they are only 8.6 inches, after all, but for now, they’re not sold here. 
• Do these have any moving parts, or anything else that could get damaged? The only thing that’s hard on the pups is their beautiful glass eyes. Aside from that, you’re looking at a totally soft plush, from ears to tail. Since there’s no exposed stitching, buttons, or anything else of that sort, the eyes are the only thing you’ve really got to be careful with. Now here’s something to wag that tail over; those pretty puppy dog eyes are glued in with premium glue, and held solidly in place. Our top-paw quality control ensures that each and every good doggo comes to you ready to play! 
• Do you offer bundles, or sets for collectors? For now, each little bark box has to be purchased individually. Bundles may happen in the future, or there may be sales or discounts. If you want to collect all twelve, or maybe more, your best bet is to pounce soon! 
• Can I request new breeds? What about accessories or add-ons? Plushies Store always has a nose to the ground for new ways to treat our loyal customers! If you scroll to the bottom of this collection page, you’ll find multiple ways to get in touch with us. Got a bone to pick? Just wanna exchange sniffs? We’re on a number of major social platforms, too!
