To make categorizing every puppy a little easier, we've decided to use a special naming system. This allows every single plush item to be given a unique code that helps us quickly identify that plush. In an instant we can know the brand/company name, the year they were produced, size, style, animal, color, ear style, and any special characteristics they have.
​
Here is an example: T86-7.5NB0-WBr-S. This means that the plush is a 1986 Tonka Newborn puppy that is 7.5 inches, is white with brown and has short ears.
