dash is about 16 inches long and filled with poly beans in their paws and belly! This makes them a little more weighty than your average plush, though I would not consider them “weighted” but they have a nice heft to them! The laying pose was chosen out of several when I held a poll asking which plush pose was preferred the most. It is ideal for display, cuddling, holding, and playing! They have embroidered details for their eyes, nose, mouth, and toebeans!
