Melissa & Doug Giant Dachshund - Lifelike Stuffed Animal Dog Large

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” Amazon 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!

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.

I use it to model pet bandanas for my bussiness Dress my Pet, and cystomers are very attracted to it. Children think its real and want to pet it 🙌🫶

I would have given it five stars except the nose is on crooked. I love it anyway and didn’t want to try to send it back since I’m disabled. I’m 81 and recently lost my 14-year-old dachshund. I can’t afford another one to keep me company so this will have to do. It looks just as pictured except for the crooked nose and it is very sturdy and should stand up to a lot if handling.

Bought this to display dog bandanas that I made for a cancer society fundraiser but fell in love with it when it arrived. The dog is high quality and so cute. I take it with me when visiting people in nursing homes and they love him. Realistic features, great size (not too big/small) and definitely something I would recommend. The reduced price was a bonus.

I have a dachshund who tears apart stuffed animals within seconds - she plays with this but cannot destroy it! It’s very well made. Size is hilarious because it’s an EXACT match to her - like her twin! I have definitely made the mistake of thinking it was her laying on the floor. Great value for money, very soft material. Very stable design. Awesome product!

Really cute, stands well. Very happy with it

Great gift for children.

Soft and life like. Kids love it!
