BRIO - Dachshund

The BRIO Dachshund pull-along toy is a timeless classic, loved by toddlers since 1958. This adorable dog moves its head, ears, and wags its tail just like a real puppy when pulled along by the attached yellow string. As children walk the dachshund, its head turns to follow, and its tail and ears shake and flap. The faster the child walks, the faster the tail and ears move, providing a fun cause-and-effect experience. Perfect for active toddlers, this engaging toy helps develop coordination and encourages movement. With its charming, lifelike features, the BRIO Dachshund is sure to become a favourite companion for any young child.
