Doll Pet Size Comparison Our Generation vs. My Life As

There are all sorts of pet options available for dolls in the 18 inch size family. I wanted to review two of the more well known brands today Our Generation and My Life As. The Our Generation brand is exclusive to Target and the My Life As brand is exclusive to Wal-Mart. The Our Generation pup retails for around $3 and the My Life As pup sells for $5. Both have stuffed bodies that are not posable and are made well for their price. The OG dog has features that are stitched while the MLA dog has plastic "button" features. Both dogs have a tag, a pink og tag on the OG dog and a shiny,bone shaped tag on the MLA. The biggest difference is size,

the OG dog is significantly smaller than the MLA dog. When compared to an American Girl doll

the OG dog looks like a very small puppy, while the MLA dog resembles a smaller size dog. I enjoy having both of these pups in my collection and am glad that there is a size difference and variety between the lines.

Our Generation Irish Setter Pup

I purchased this adorable Our Generation Irish Setter Dog a few weeks ago. Our Generation products are sold at Target and the dogs retails for about three dollars each. He was attached to the piece of carboard with three plastic ties and was easy to remove.The packaging was Our Generation's usual recycled cardboard and had the heart shape in the barcode, which always makes me smile. 

This dog has soft brown fur with fuzzy ears, his eyes and nose are stitched on.The white part of his left eye doesn't seem to be as circular as the one in his right eye, like it might have a loose or extra stitch.The Our Generation dogs have soft bodies and stand approximately 3 inches tall. They include a ribbon collar with a leash stitched to it. The leash has a small loop on the end that I was able to get one of Bria's fingers in. There is also a pink plastic og logo "tag" attached to the collar and it seems really large in proportion to the dog's body. I think the pup looks really small compared to Bria. It seems the Our Generation dogs would represent puppies better than full grown dogs, at least for 18 inch dolls.

What do you think of the Our Generation pups?
