Floppy ears, a tail worth pulling, and a face done entirely in embroidery — no plastic eyes, no buttons, nothing to work loose. Suitable from birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🐕 The shape is the whole appeal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dachshund is a comedy outline before it's anything else, and small children recognise one instantly. The long body makes him easy to carry under an arm, and he sits on a shelf as happily as he goes in a cot — which is why he gets bought as often for grown dog lovers as for babies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧶 Knitted body, cotton jumper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is knitted in soft acrylic yarn, so he has a chunkier, more textured feel than a plush toy. The jumper is cotton, in a classic blue and green tartan, and it's the thing that lifts him from generic cuddly dog to something you'd hand over as a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e✨ An embroidered face, which matters from birth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis eyes and expression are stitched, not plastic. That's the detail worth knowing if this is going to a newborn, because there's nothing rigid to come away, and it's also why he keeps his character after a wash rather than looking startled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌍 Recycled filling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stuffing is recycled polyester and the materials are responsibly sourced. Best Years, who make him, also put profits from their toys into preschools they've built for the children of the people who make them. A small thing to know, and a nice one to be able to mention when you hand him over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitted acrylic body with a cotton tartan jumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbroidered face — no plastic eyes or hard parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloppy ears and a tail made for grabbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from birth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecycled polyester filling, responsibly sourced materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gift that works for a baby or a grown dog lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 12 x 24cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e brown, with a blue and green tartan jumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e acrylic yarn body, cotton jumper, recycled polyester filling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable from:\u003c\/strong\u003e birth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e machine washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e UKCA and CE certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e❓ Frequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is he?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e20 x 12 x 24cm — a two-handed armful for a toddler rather than a pocket dog, and small enough to pack. Knitted toys photograph larger than they are, so it's worth picturing him next to a mug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs he safe for a newborn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

A fair few go to adults — the knitting and the tartan jumper make him a decorative dog as much as a toy, and dachshund owners are a reliably soft touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes he make a good gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe's an easy one.
