Editorial Review

Playful, loveable, and ready to please, this plush puppy responds to verbal commands with a host of tricks like howling, sitting, shaking, and waving. Covered in soft fur, he also features blinking eyes and a moving mouth for expressive play. Figuring out how best to talk to Scamps may take a little practice, but the more a dog-loving kid interacts with him, the more he learns to do--just like a real pup. A good toy for boys or girls who don’t own a real dog, Scamps runs on three C batteries (not included) and measures approximately 13 inches tall. With his fun spots and cute contrast, this black and white puppy makes a great friend. He comes with instructions, an adoption certificate, a rope toy, and a chew treat. --Emily Bedard

My daughter recieved Scamps for her birthday! It just so happens that Scamps was delivered during Hurricane Wilma. As the neighbors came together for flashlight lite dinners, Scamps entertained us all. This toy is awesome. One man exclaimed "I am gonna get one too" Scamps has been offically welcomed in our family as the best pet!!!

I am a grandma who would buy anything my child wanted if I could. I ordered this because my granddaughter asked for it after seeing in on TV. We opened it up the night before her

birthday to see what it was like, my granddaughter is a normal 8 year old with a love of animals. However, once opened my husband and I found this slow reacting hard feeling toy to be

a disappointment. It was so slow reacting that it bored even us. Repeating the command slowely three times was just to frustrating. We view this as a toy that will be pushed aside and never loved by our 8, 4, and 2 year olds. We returned it more that happy to take the deduction because it was opened. I would not

order this item again. I had read a review from a child that said it was slow reacting and boring, I wish I had listened to her.

This review is from: Scamps My Playful Pup (Toy)

Some spoiled children have been comparing SCAMPS to the Aibo, a robot so intellegent it is most commonly used in artifitial intellegence labs. The dogs have been known to sell for around $2,000! For a $44 toy SCAMPS is incredable! Some people haven't gotten to know SCAMPS yet and he hasn't "gained thier trust" yet. This is why SCAMPS hasn't been singing and adding numbers. He probably doesn't listen to comands very well because the kids are not speaking clearly. I would buy this dog if he was simply a plush toy because of his awsome looks he would be well worth 40 bucks. But he's a robo dogie? It's an incredable deal for such an intellent dog! He may not seem so smart when you compare him Aibo he is deffinatly the smartest dog I've seen beside the Aibo and I-Cybie (Both expensive, AI to the extreme robo pups). If you want a dog that can walk of course you would look into GO GO but she can't do much but that. SCAMPS can do many tricks and loves to hangout with you and cuddle too! I first fell in love with him when I saw him at walmart and looked into him on the web when I got home. I have enough because I've been saving up and I cannot wait untill he becomes me best friend! :) Oh and for the above review, he adds #s only to a certaint extent... he will most likley bark or stroke the ground for the # equal to the sum. If this is true he is VERY intellegent, if not he is still way, way, WAY worth the money and is furreal friends at it's finest! I would recomend this dog if you are looking for a best friend, someone to train and cuddle with. If you want someone to pet and hangout with. To watch you while you do your homework and sit by you in the car or while your watching T.V. If you want someone to take a walk with and you are not planning on carring him or bringing a baby stroller then I would of course tell you to look into GO GO MY WALKING PUP. :) I cannot WAIT untill I can get this wonderfull friend!
