S2009-present, as “Puppy, begging” (Red-brown and white, no collar/hat)

Notes: A mask and hat for this dog are listed in the Mold Book but were probably never made. The hat used for the 1969 run is the Disney “Dumbo” hat. The numbers of the two circus dogs, A-270 and A-271, are reversed in the Mold Book.

Notes: The S1962 order form lists A-496, Papa Dog, but shows a drawing of A-497. A-497 is probably the piece that was produced that season.
1980s examples of the Dalmatian colorway have large round spots or spatter spots. Later dogs have smaller round spots. The final dogs made had few spots, and a distinctive marking of parallel elongated spots on the chest.
