There were three types
of Pound Puppies produced (original, Rumpleskins and Furries),
two types were also produced an newborns (original and Furries).
It appears that each large breed of dog was produced in
at least two different colours. The adults measured 17-19
inches long and the newborns about 7 inched long. Each puppy
or kitten came with a ribbon collar, care sheet and mail-in
ownership certificate offer for the I.D. tag. Children filled
in the certificate with the the puppy or kittens name and
received back two labels - one with the chosen name on and
the other for the child's address to be written on. The
packaging also doubled as a carry case.

There were eight main characters
in the Pound Puppies cartoon but I don't know if all eight
were produced as large plush toys. They were quite different
from the other Pound Puppies. There was also a large "talking"
Cooler produced too, which was a cassette player.

US fast food chain Hardee's also produced
some Pound Puppies in 1986. I think there were about 6 or
so small puppies made for them via Tonka.
