THE POODLE IN THE PHOTO IS NOT THE CORRECT Color combination.

This poodle, with the pink ribbon in its hair, is identical to the one I had, except that mine had a black nose and a blue ribbon instead of a light pink nose and dark pink ribbon. I found this one on eBay, and it is in amazing condition considering its age.

These stuffed animals were well made structurally, but their fur wasn’t well crafted. As the stuffed animal aged (quickly), the fur fell out. Considering this, I doubt that many Eden poodles like the one I had are around. Most probably were thrown out decades ago, which is a shame since the pattern to make new ones with better fur could be derived from the original.

, FOUND – 70’s SMALL WHITE Seated WINDUP POODLE Plays FRERE JACQUES – HEAD MOVESSometime between 1969-1972, a manufacturer (not sure which one) released a white poodle stuffed animal that was named Bon Bon. It was seated, maybe 6 to 8 inches tall. It was embedded with a music box that, when wound, played Frere Jacques, and the poodle rotated its head slowly.

I had pasted on a new nose since it had lost all of its pom-poms except for its original eyes while I was still small, and I had sewn on (when I was about 10) some white acrylic fur scraps to cover the gray ruff and head because my mother was threatening to throw out the dog, which she said was “a mess.”

I had the dog until I went away to college, when my father cleared out my room because he wanted to make a second office for himself. I’d love to find one, not to reproduce the pattern, but just to have something I once loved so much all over again.

Thanks,

Sabra

    I just went through a bag of stuffed animals I had when I was younger and have what you’re describing (mine is white). Music still plays and head still rotates. I can’t seem to find any others on the internet. The one on ebay mentioned in the first reply on here is not the one I have.

  6. Hi, thank you, everyone, for your posts and concerns. I was looking for an Eden poodle. Last summer, I found one almost exactly like mine on eBay. It was the version with the pink nose and ribbon, not the black nose with blue ribbon.

    Jeff, please contact me about your poodle if you still have it. I am interested.

    Kathy, what a great find by Woolco of Japan. I had no idea that another manufacturer also made a Bon Bon poodle that plays Frere Jacques. This one was not the one I had, but being brand new and in great condition after all of these years, it is a super find for a collector.
