Fun
This is an exellent toy for all ages. Its educational porpose is about the dogs body parts. It is soft and i think it is very soft. It is a great gift for all ages and almost the very best friend.

The best comfort toy for little ones.
I recently purchased Darby for my first grandchild's 1st Christmas. He would never hug us so we taught him how to hug and love Darby - now we get smothered with hugs!! He sleeps with his Darby and has a big smile for him each morning. I couldn't wait for Christmas to give it to him. I brought the box home and left just his nose poking out! It was wonderful to see my little grandson's eyes light up and watch him tentatively touch Darby's big head. He immediately pulled him out of the box and laid down on him. Darby is so soft and cuddly that he is considered the best of comfort toys for little ones. It was well worth the cost. Thank you Animal Alley!

Can't wait to give it to my Grandson
Wow!!!! I received Darby within three days. Fast shipping, thank you Amazon and Toys R Us. Darby is soooo cute, I opened the box and out came a very huge dog. I can't wait to give it to my Grandson. Darby is so big, soft and cuddly. I hated to put him back in the box. I don't know if we can keep him in there until Christmas. My older kids think Darby is adorable and irresistable that they want my grandson to have it right now. I know it a little expensive for a stuffed animal but it is well worth the money. Darby requires no batteries, won't break and no pieces to loose which is a big plus to me. I am sure my grandson will enjoy him for years to come. I recommend Darby to anyone who wants to have fun, love and hug a big dog. He is so tempting and I soo am glad we got him for our grandson.

cuddly,soft,floppy,comfortable,cute fun
My mother got this dog for my son last Christmas when he was one year old and everytime we watch tv at her house, we drag this dog out. When I say we, I mean the entire family - not just my son. It's so soft and squishable that you can smoosh it under you to get just the right amount of height for on-the-floor tv viewing. And his fur feels wonderful for taking naps. I myself have fallen asleep on him numerous times. My son loves to get on top of him and pretend that he's taking a ride somewhere - he just pulls the ears like they're reins. He also loves to drag it around and jump on it sometimes. In a year, it's taken quite a bit of abuse and hasn't needed a repair stitch yet. The great thing about buying this dog is that it's a toy that I know he'll never outgrow. Even when he's a teenager, I'm sure he and his friends will want to use this comfortable dog as a pillow for watching television. The only problem with this dog is of course, storage - this puppy is BIG! At my mother's house, he generally lays on the guest bed until we come over. And sure, he's a little pricey, but he is a very well-put-together and versatile toy, which in my opinion makes it worth the money.

Editorial Review

A Toys "R" Us exclusive, this jumbo-sized Darny makes a soft, sweet companion for pet and plush lovers of any age. Big floppy ears, deep dark eyes, large paws, and a cute tail are all covered in the softest pink and beige fur imaginable. Darny's cuddle quotient goes up even higher, given that she is slightly understuffed for extra "squeezability" when humans need something to soft hug. This Darny is quite possibly the largest dog around. ... Read more

All ages
I bought this for my girlfriends 21st birthday, and she loves it. It's almost as big as she is, and it takes up most of her dorm room bed, but she's happy, so i'm happy.

Happy Dad
I bought this for my daughter on her 4th birthday and she love's it, she try's to carry it around with her but it's just too big for her to carry, she look's so cute when she does carry it around, I want to get my wife one soon, she's loves stuffed animal

A Great Gift
My older cousin bought this for her toddler-aged daughter for Christmas and she LOVED it to death!! All day she was dragging it around the house (or at least doing her best) or climbing all over it. It is very durable and great for younger kids who can occasionally "throw" their toys at walls and people, because it is too big for young children to easily pick up. It would be a great gift for girls of any age, even my teenaged cousin thought it was sooo cute!!

For kids of all ages
Got this as a last resort for my 2 1/2 year old neice for Christmas -- she adores it as did her brothers and sisters ages 6 - 12. Just for smiles alone, this is a winner. And, I have to admit snuggling with it a bit myself before the wrapping!

Sweet
I got this for Christmas, only it was brown instead of pink. My parents are always asking if the can lay on it. It's extremely soft and it's so comfy! I lay on it whenever I'm playing video games. Interesting, isn't it (sarcasm). Oh, and before I got it I thought the paws were attached, and just to let you know they're not. I reccomend this a lot!!!!!!!!! ... Read more

Ages
Well I'm 11 and I bought this toy. I love it and im not a baby. All of my friends love stuffed animals. I think if you sold big stuffed spongebobs they would go fast. I think the prices are rather high on your stuffed animals though.

Soft & Cuddly!!
I received the puppy as a gift from my boyfriend...it is the perfect size to sleep and cuddle with! It has the sweetest face and the softest fur..!

great toy
My friend loved it,and it's really soft. I just love to touch it.

THE SWEETEST DOG

Yorkshire terriers, or "Yorkies," as they are commonly known, are one of the more popular breeds in the world for people looking for a loyal and friendly house pet. This little charmer, a Toys "R" Us Exclusive from Animal Alley, captures the pleasant charm of the Yorkie quite nicely. He lies on his stomach, looking slightly upward with his realistic dark eyes. Longer white hairs offset his black coat and the hair on his face is gathered up above his eyes where it's tied off with a fetching little bow. This Yorkie is the perfect size to tuck under an arm as one falls asleep. --John Moe ... Read more

cool
I gave one 2 my b-friend 4 0ur 2 years of dating anneversary. He sleeps with it every night!!!!!! and surprize surprize1 He gave me one of those silly little Animal Alley Yorkshire Terriers 2! Is that not a dorable. I sleep with it every night!!!!!!

Lifesize Yorkie Playmate
I bought this doll as a companion for my own Yorkshire Terrier, Buffy, when she was a puppy. Buffy has LOVED this little doll, she still sleeps with it and carries it with her. Four months later the doll has not lost anything but it's bow. I can wash it when it gets dirty and yes, the hair needs brushing occasionally but anyone who ever had a puppy knows how hard it is to find toys that last through teething. I recommend it for children and dogs alike.

Cute Little Puppy
I love this yorkshire terrier. I want him for Christmas. I have always wanted a real dog like this.

Cute as a button
This toy is so close to the real thing. I have a Yorkie (Jack) and this toy puppy could be his cousin. The makers did a great job with this one. The one I bought is a present but I know it's going to be tough giving him away. It's love at first sight.

Great!

Darby dog rocks
this is a great toy because your child will learn the respontsability of taking care of a dog

Gotta love Darby
My 2 year old got this for Christmas, as soon as he saw Darby under the tree, he wasn't interested in much else. He loves to have Darby sleep in his room next to him. Plus Darby's big enough to ride like a pony. And best of all, I don't have to feed, walk or clean up after him. This is the best dog ever!!!

5 stars names it all
A very soft fun toy. Fun to play with. every kid should have on at the very least 5. everyone loves them. Christmas darby dogs wuould be cool or you could make bigger ones because kids love that but you shold never put the price of a darby dog higher than [amount]. ...

Just so Lovable
My 8 year old daughter instantly fell in love with this cuddly dog. What a great stuffed animal.

Great Item!
Love this item so much we took it to [a] portriat studio to take a professional photo of my child with Darby. My child adores this dog. The best present!!! Get one! You love Darby. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Despite his rather pugilistic moniker, this little boxer is anything but combative. In fact, his sad expression indicates that he's really a lover and not a fighter. He's a Toys "R" Us Exclusive from Animal Alley and features a tan coat, a white belly and paws, and a tan-and-black face. He is set in a standing position, but since he's built to be soft he probably can't stand on his own. Probably best to snuggle him in with other stuffed toys or simply put him in a nice comfortable bed overnight. --John Moe ... Read more

Just like a real Boxer!
This Boxer is exactly like a real dog. I am crazy for Boxers because they have such adorable expressions, and this one has the most adorable face ever! I've played with Cleopatra a lot, and she still looks new. It's the real thing, but without the trouble of feeding, walking, going to the vet, and picking up poop. Parents, if your child has a birthday coming up, and really wants a dog, this Animal Alley Boxer would be a good choice because it is so realistic. This is not just any dog, this dog is special. I think Boxers are a great breed, and I was lucky that Animal Alley made this dog.

111/2" Boxer
I think that this 11 1/2" Boxer is magnificent. It is very soft and is great to sleep with.

adorble and cute puppy
This puppy is so cute! I just love it! I play with him! I have had him for more than a year and he is still very cute and he has held up for a long time, even after being thrown up in a tree and put on a moving ceiling fan by my brothers and his friend! I love him, his name is LJ, or Little Junior, I have a bigger version of LJ named Junior, who I also love! I have two monkeys from animal alley too, their names are Apples/Cream Cheese and Bannanas/Nanners (they have two names :P) !

Animal Alley's All The Way!
I saved up $15.00 and my mom took me to Toys R Us the next weekened. Was I was planning on buying was a Micropet, but as I passed the aisles I saw this Animal Alley Boxer, and it was love at first site! As soon as I picked him up, and felt his soft, chocolately colored fur between my fingers, and gave him a squishy hug, I knew I would end up leaving with little Cocoa Puff, as my four year old sister named him for me. Even though he's not tiny and electronic and doesn't bark or anything, he's still great. He's more to cuddle with instead of play with. I wouldn't say he's exactly educational, but he can sure make up for a real puppy! I spilled peach juice all over him by accident, and we decided to try and put Cocoa Puff in the washing machine - and he came out looking practically the same as he had before, except stain free! His fur is matted and pressed together after seven months of enjoying him so much, but I love him more than ever. I'm fourteen years old, and I'm not some immature child at heart; I have a boyfriend, friends, and a social life.. but I can't resist this puppy's sad little face! We came back to Toys R Us about a month later, and my little sister came home with an Animal Alley Pug, equaly as cute. She named him Smooshy, because his face is smooshed in, just like a real Pug! I can't wait to pick up Jessie the Golden Retriever the next time I save up.. they're completely worth it!

Wonderful toy!
This toy dog was purchased 3 years ago for my daughter's birthday, she was quite into dogs at the time. She played with it quite a lot, it's been through the wash several times (gentle cycle, line dried, regular detergent) and shows extremely little wear. We recently aquired a real dog, and he was convinced this toy was a real dog as well! He growled at the toy, and finally attacked it. It held up! Didn't even pop a seam when my live dog adopted the toy dog as his latest chew and tug-a-war toy. I'm amazed at the durability of this toy, especially as it is a very inexpensive stuffed animal ... ... Read more

Reta Rocks!
My daughter picked this toy out for her 8th birthday and named it Reta. Since then, she bought another one so Reta would have a "husband" and named him Ater. She loves this toy. Buy it. It's worth the money.

The Best $10 I Ever Spent!!!
My husband bought this dog for my son before he was born, from the minute my son laid eyes on "Jessica" he was in awe. She is so soft and cuddley, my son won't go anywhere without her. She is a perfect size for a toddler to carry around and she washes wonderfully!! (She is in my washmachine at least once a week) Thank you Animal Alley for making such a great stuffed animal!!!

This is the best Stuffed animal in the Animal Alley
With this Stuffed animal, it seems like you dont need a real pet, because its so soft and cute that you can even sleep with it!!!
I have two, one big one and one small one, and even though im already a big girl I still sleep with them both.Not only that; but you can play with it and do almost everything you can do with a real pet!

Jessica the Lab.
I love Jessica the Lab. She looks nice on my bed.

I absolutely LOVE this...
Aawww, I love this labrador. She is so cute! I like to name my stuffies "people" names, and I call her Annabelle. If you like dogs, or just stuffed animals, this adorable lab is sure to please! ... Read more

The best stuffed dogs I've ever owned
When I bought my first Animal Alley lab, I knew I'd end up with more. I now own five, one Rottweiler who lives beside my pillow, this ''17 lab, Sydney, and her three lab puppies, Maddie, Clhoe, and Riley. My room is filled with families of stuffed dogs, but these ones really stand out. Sydney is a big, floppy, beautiful cuddle magnet who couldn't be more like a real dog, and her puppies are adorable, and so much fun to play with. Though I perfer yellow labs, I think the stuffed black ones look more realistic. The dogs are durable, but some of the strings can come loose and cause the seams to rip open. This happened on little Maddie's belly, but is easy to sew shut. But overall, they are just about the most perfect stuffed dogs imaginable.
Their perfect if you can't have a real dog, which I couldn't untill one month ago when I found out I was getting a real Lab puppy. Even when she gets here, these dogs will still be special. A real Lab doesn't usauly get to sleep in the bed.

The Cutest Cuddliest Puppy Ever
This Black Lab puppy is so cute and cuddly! :-) It's very realistic looking, and great for any age. Its fur is so smooth and soft and is a cozy addition to any household whether you have kids or not. Plus the fact that this dog is made so well that if you have children, it's a great dog to cuddle with and take anywhere, and the stitching and fabric is still in great condition even after hours of hugging or lugging from place to place. Overall a great soft cuddly friend for anyone! :-)

Better than the real thing
This is a wonderful dog. I think every kid should have one. This is so much fun, and it is extremely durable. It is educational, too. You can practice dog ownership on it. Although it is named Likerish, I call mine Robert. I gave a stuffed animal just like mine to one of my friends and she loved it. If you can't have a real Lab, this Animal Alley Lickerish is the next best thing. I recently got a smaller version of this dog, I say a daughter. I call her Elizabeth. I don't think that it is a waste, or that it's just another stuffed animal. I do think that it's just another Animal Alley dog, but "just another Animal Alley dog" isn't a bad thing. Animal Alleys are special. One more thing. Isn't the name supposed to be spelled Licorice?

So Cute
I was so happy when I pulled this out of the box to wrap it for my 7 year old daughter. What a cute stuffy! So real looking! Had a hard time wrapping it back up and wanted to keep it for myself! PS my 9 month old daughter who helped me wrap it loved it too!

A wonderful true to life Black Labrador to love
I got Lickerish at the same time I ordered the brown labrador from Amazon. I could not resist both of them. Up until last July, I had a black and "brown" labrador, but now only have the "brown" labrador. I miss Patsy, my black labrador, and find anything I can on black labs to honor her life and her memory. Even though Patsy was 14, it was still very difficult to let her go. I still cry when I think of her, but holding this dog helps me get by. I put the dog on a chair and once, when walking by quickly, thought it was Patsy on the chair and did a double take. The toy is very lifelike. ... Read more

Soft and cuddly
Out of all the stuffed animals my son has received, this is his absolute favorite. It is soft and cuddly and he loves to hug it and kiss it when it gets close to nap or bedtime. He is now 20 months old and loves to have it next to him when he sleeps. When he wakes in the morning he makes us bring his doggy with us before taking his juice cup. I don't think it's machine washable but I did have to stick in the dryer after he dunked it into the cat water bowl and it came out fine.

Kids love it!
My two twin nieces just love to play around with this :) ... Read more

Adorable
We bought my daughter this stuffed animal over a year ago, when she became obsessed with cats, and she loves it. She usually sleeps with it, (as well as a few other dolls and animals), and it is soft and furry. We found it to be well constructed, the eyes are securely sewn in, and all the pieces are well put together. It even washes well, and "Callie" has been in the machine a few times.

Very good stuffed animal for the price.

Animal Alley 9" Kitten: Calico
I personally own a Ty Beanie Buddy Calico kitten (Makers of Beanie Babies) that looks almost identical to this Animal Alley 9" one.. only mine was more expensive. Next time I want to buy a plush for myself, or someone else, I'll be sure to check Animal Alley's collection before I waste ten dollars.

Very cute!
I have never been disappointed with an Animal Alley toy, and this is no exception. This is an adorable, very soft kitten toy. This is a great value -- affordable, durable, cute and lots of fun! ... Read more

Animal Alley 18" Collie
This collie is the most adorable stuffed animal my daughter owns. We purchased our collie (a.k.a. Casey) 2 years ago to add to my daughter's stuffed animal collection. But this collie's destiny was not to sit on her bed or shelves but it was to go everywhere with us. Casey gets her own seat at restaurants, movies, rides and travels about Texas with us. Everyone who sees her has to touch her to make sure she is not real. The attention has enlightened my daughters heart and she gets tickled everytime someone says "I thought it was a real puppy". Great social communication skills for our young daughter. This collie also feels so warm when you hold her as though she is real. She now sports collar with her own name tag. Thanks Animal Alley and ToysRus for our 18" Collie.

Lassie Come Home!
This is the greatest life-like cuddly toy! My oldest son has the larger version as a special reminder of his own real life Collie that lives to be at his side. This stuffed animal looks like our dog was used as the model! My youngest has the smaller version and takes it with him everywhere including his crib. I have had to wash the smaller one due to typical messes of a toddler and it is pretty durable. Our family gives this Animal Alley Collie a 5 star rating for looks, fun, education and durability. Thanks!

Lovable and Unwashable
We were looking for a realistic stuffed animal for my young son and he picked this one. He loves to nuzzle his face in it, and it's been his buddy on many a car trip. "Laddie" (our name for the dog) is adorable to boot!

My only gripe is the dog is NOT machine washable. Laddie reached the point where he was beyond sponge baths. It was either the washing machine or the trash can. Unfortunately, the washing machine took away his realistic look. He now resembles a poodle with collie markings. We're going to buy me son another Laddie, but be forewarned. ... Read more

Great Toy!
I think this kitten isn't educational but is durable, fun and cute. I'd have to give it 1 star for education because what does it do to educate?

I will give it a good rating for durablility and fun because I loved it. It will be a good addition to my collection.I would recommend this to any catlover

Cuddly!
Just to get things straight: This Animal Alley 9" Kitten: White cannot, I repeat, cannot move his eyes around, walk, meow, whatever. It's completely stuffed, no batteries whatsoever. My daughter loves her Animal Alley 9" white kitten, and if you want a white electronical kitten that moves and everything, try a Fur Real Friends cat in white.. but trust me, this Animal Alley white one is much cuddlier! Take it from my daughter who owns the Fur Real white and the Animal Alley plush!

A lovey "meow meow"
My 20 month old picked this out at the store over a week ago and hasn't put it down since. It is cute (even more than the picture) and cuddly. It is the best $8 I've ever spent. I just ordered a second one online today "just in case". If you want a stuffed animal your toddler will love, this is it!!!

its great!
a long time ago i had no dogs and then when i got that i played with it all the time, and its the best rottweiler dog EVER!

My son's best loved toy
I'm only here because I desperately need a replacement after it fell from the buggy on the way back from nursery. My son Charlie has taken this dog everywhere with him 24 hours a day for 2 years. The dog lost the tip of his nose after a particularly heavy wrestling match with my son, but the toy was robust enough to survive even this.

Rottweiler puppy
My daughter received her rottweiler puppy when she was two years old, she's almost 5 and she still plays with "princess".

Rotties Are Sweet!
This Rottweiler dog was one of my first Animal Alley toys. I had never really LIKED Rottweilers before, and this toy soon got stuffed in my closet. But then, a few months ago, I became real attached to my Rottie cuz I met a real Rottweiler, Tara. This toy is soooooooooooooooooooooo adorable and soft. It looks just like the real thing, and is a great cuddly toy. I named her Brittany, and she fits perfectly with my other Animal Alleys! I hope AA(animal alley) comes out with a Doberman toy! It would be great friends with my Brittany!
