FOUND – 2004? GANZ Heritage Collection BLACK and WHITE DOG
This is a photo of what Arfy looked like when he was new, before the repairs.
I am searching for a black and white stuffed dog in the Ganz Heritage Collection. I think it may have been discontinued in 2004 or 2005. It looks a little like Snoopy.
My daughter (now almost 5) named him Arfy as soon as she could talk at 18 months. Had I known when she was little that he would become “THE GUY,” I clearly would have bought at least 2 or 3 more of them. But, by the time I realized, it was too late. Couldn’t find him anywhere. Even called the company, but they didn’t make them anymore.
Raelyn takes Arfy everywhere. He helps her calm down when she is stressed or sick or injured. She calls him her Lovey. She has “loved” his face off and worn him out (I’ve sown a new nose & mouth back on and given him new stuffing — twice). She dreads the day he’ll have to sit on a shelf someday, because he can’t take anymore.
Anyway, I would love to have another one for her so the original doesn’t get completely destroyed. I’m not sure how tall he is, but I’m guessing that from head to toe, Arfy is about 14″ tall.
THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!

Thank you so much for helping search on Ebay. His nose actually looks alot like it does with the repair….only better. 🙂 His mouth was black like his nose (when I sewed it back on, she decided he needed a purple mouth this time). And his body is all white. Only his ears and half his face are black.
I'll ask if they can post a photo from when he was brand new.

Could this be a relation to the dog?

Picture on ebay looks more dark brown than black but quite similar. Worth looking.
I’m looking for a similar dog. But a different pattern but still in the ganz heritage collection. He has 2 brown circles on his butt and brown all on his ears to his eyes and brown on his neck and tail. The rest is all white and there’s white on the tip of his tail. I got him in 2003-2004 and didn’t no much. Anyone know what the name of the dog is?
