Searching – 50’s? 60’s? Dollcraft BROWN REAL? FUR FLOPPY DOG
Thanks to one of our Fabulous Finders, we now know that this is a Dollcraft dog from the 50’s or 60’s.
I am looking for a plush dog, maybe named Floppy. He is brown and has ears and tail made from, I think, real fur. He would have been made in the 70’s. He is about 12 inches long with a pom pom type nose and plastic eyes. You will see the white fur on his tail, ears, and patch on his head that my grandmother “fixed”. He feels like he’s filled with crushed something like nutshells.
He was my sister’s favorite stuffed animal, and the fur on his ears and tail wore off. My grandmother “fixed” him while we were young with white fleece! He looked horrible. I want her to have a “new” one, so she can remember him as he was, and fondly remember our grandmother for doing her best to make it all better.
I am so grateful for any help finding another one. Johanna’s 35th birthday is in June, and I thought this would be a wonderful surprise!!
Thanks,
Jessica

Cary,
Thanks for the info! I’d love to see a pic of your cousin’s dog if possible. I can’t remember what the dog looked like with the original ears and tail. I’m also amazed that it would be so much earlier than the 70’s. My mom bought it new in 1975 – when Jo was a toddler. Either way, very helpful information and I very much appreciate it!!!
I am soooooo happy you posted this picture. I have a stuffed dog named Puppup. He used to belong to my uncle in the 60’s. I have been searching for a picture of what he used to look like (much love has caused him to be recovered 3 times). I saw this picture and tears sprang to my eyes. This is what my puppup used to look like, no doubt about it. Id know that shape and those eyes anywhere.
