Puppy Grows And Knows Your Name Poodle
By Carrie
I purchased this for my Granddaughters 7th birthday. She is a dog nut but cannot have a live dog in her Condo.She loves this dog....The first day we programed her to learn both of their names. You must have a computer and USB cords to do this. 1st day: the puppy asks to be petted, sings songs and wants to be brushed. 2nd day: the puppy grows and has more sayings, she wants to eat, be scratched and sings another song. 3rd day: the puppy grows, again, and has more sayings. 4th day: the puppy grows to full height, asks to be measured and wants kisses etc. The puppy shrinks down to puppy size and starts all over again.This was a fun toy for her and she loved the different sayings each day plus the growth. The puppy sings the childs name in songs and asks for kisses, giggles, and wants to be played with. Comes with a bone, brush and a measuring tape. Can be turned off when not being played with.I'm sure after a few more weeks she will be tired of the toy but it was a great gift. She has "a million toys" and this was something different for her.

Great toy - not enough accessories
By Kristen Mondaruli
We purchased this for my daughter for her 5th birthday. She loves "snowball". She comes with a bone, brush and a ruler (to measure the growth). One major thing she doesn't come with is the usb wire to connect her to the computer. It includes the software (which is not mac compatible), but I have to purchase the usb a-usb b wire separately. The dog is able to work without being hooked up to the computer, she just calls you "friend" and herself "puppy". The actual dog is adorable. The concept to me was creepy, but after hearing the voice and seeing the dog grow, I overcame that. If your child is a fan of dogs, this is a great toy for them. Just be sure to purchase that wire or you'll have a dissappointed kid on your hands.

The Christmas Hit!
By Kendall's Mom
This was one of two items my daughter requested this Christmas, and the best price was on Amazon.com. I admit I was concerned about the price ($50 in retail stores) and thought it would probably be a dud, given the mechanical nature of the toy. How soft and cuddly could it be? That's one of the reasons it was important to get the best price on the toy, which Amazon gave (as of this writing).My husband and I did the set up before giving the puppy to our daughter, who was thrilled that the puppy already "knew" her name the first time she petted it. This is essential! My husband had the required cable you MUST have in order to personalize the puppy (but it is NOT included in the toy). The CD has over 3,000 names on it, so our ease in finding our child's name was a pleasant surprise. (We have difficulty finding pre-personalized items in stores for our daughter.) There were even multiple spellings of the name. You do not have the option of just typing your child's name, however. All you can do is click on one of the names listed. After selecting the child's name and the puppy's name from a list on the CD (no customization option is given), you download the information to the puppy with the cable. It doesn't take long to do, but keep in mind that the software is only PC-compatible (not good for a Mac-only home).The toy itself is fairly soft, and has a pleasant "voice". It "grows" after you touch any activator twice - growing once each day, so you'll need to click the reset button (near the battery compartment) for it to return to its original size before gift-giving. My daughter (age 5) has carried it with her everywhere, so it's cuddly enough for her to snuggle. You CAN hear the gears when it wags its tail and/or turns its head, but it doesn't bother my child. Just be aware that it isn't a quiet toy. It hasn't been dropped yet, so I can't attest to its durability, but it appears to be a good quality product (so far).A hit for the pint-size pet lover in your family! Mac compatibility would be a bonus, and an option to type your child's name and the puppy's, as well as choosing from a list provided by Fisher Price, would make the toy (in my opinion) more user-friendly for parents, but so far, it's been a good toy for our child.
