Apparently these were made by Playskool. You could look at the inside of the dog's ears to see if it was a girl (pink) or boy (blue.) The mom and puppies all had the same markings. There was also Kitty Surprise

I had a horse one. She was so cute and she had 3 little babies inside.

these were so great. but no one ever got 5. scandalous.

I had kitty surprise and got 4 kittens. i also had puppy surprise and had 5 puppies.

These were originally made by Hasbro, NOT Playskool, which released it's own line of Puppy Surprise in 2005. In addition to Puppy and Kitty Surprise, there was also Pony and Panda Surprise.

I remember having one... Although perhaps a much later one because it looked nothing like the example here... however she had 5 puppies.

I loved puppy suprise. She looked different from the pic though. You opened her velcrow tummy and puppies came out. I actually had one that had 5 puppies! I have later learned that it was very uncommon to haev 5. guess I was lucky. I dont have the dog anymore but I still have one of the puppies...in my junk drawer. I just cant get rid of it

I got the puppy surprise but mine only had three puppies. I remember some of their faces were made to look asleep and others were awake. I think I got one puppy that was asleep. My friend had all of the animal surprise versions! She was spoiled, haha. Later they made accessories to go with the puppies like baseball uniforms or something. The picture at the top is the new version from 2006 seeing as its really ugly and resembles a brat doll...they did the same thing with Littlest Pet Shop.

This toy is kind of disturbing.

I had the origianl puppy surprise, which had 3 puppies... I also had a bunny one (3 babies), a cat (2 kittens) & a horse one (the rare & coveted 5). trying to find one of the new ones for my daughter, & my mom's getting my old ones out of storage.

I had the orange Bunny Suprise. She ended up having 5 baby bunnies. They came with ribbon around thier neck in blue or pink to specify the gender. I also had the back and white Puppy Suprise. She ended up having 3 puppies which looked exactly alike; 2 boys and 1 girl. I'm suprised I even remember this! =]

This is one toy that I BEGGED for HARDCORE!!! I remember asking "Santa" for it in my letter & asking my dad & my grandpa & other family members. but no one seemed to remember it.

I had the original. The above picture is definitely NOT the original.

i also had the origianl puppy surpirse! and again like i mentioned in the littlest pet shop forum, that they are re-relaeing good toys but RUINING THEM!!

I still have my Puppy Surprise from when I was 6 (I'm currently 22). It's not exactly in the best of shape, though. Mine, a cream colored one with white ears and tail, came with four puppies, three of which are females. One of them looks just like the mother, one's almost an inverted version, and the other two are black and white. The more recent one kinda disturbs me, and the original was disturbing enough, in theory. Lol.

when i lived in america and i was about 6yrs old i had one - she was white and had 3 puppies. i loved them and took them everywhere with me.we went travelling and i lost her - i was devestated! i then got a pink one and lost her too!! i cried so much does anyone know where you can buy the original ones from?

look on ebay for puppy surprises. i just bought another one from when we were little, meaning the original. just keep looking until you find one! good luck! let us know if you find one.

Why do so many people find pregnant toys disturbing? It's part of LIFE people!! Get over it. What? Did you grow up in a bubble of some sort where babies were delivered by storks?? Come on!

Puppy Surprise was cute back in the 80s, but the ones sold today aren't I used to have one back in the 80s.

This is the most fantastic series of comments I've found in a long time. I especially like Amber's flip out. Keep it up ladies. Communication is key. Also, did anyone else like to put other animals inside mommy and have her birth those too?

The song was "Puppy Surprise, Puppy Surprise, how many puppies... are hiding inside?"

A shame that pic is not the original puppy surprise. I just found an original puppy i had when i was little hehe

i like how it is pregnant

The picture that's up is a waaay recent version of Puppy Surprise byb Playskool! The old school 80's Puppy Surprise was one thousand times more awesome! ;)

heehee I loved this toy , I had the pink version of the orignal, and got 4 puppies. they're definately ruining the originals nowadays :(

April is only partially correct. There were 5 varieties. Puppy Surprise (I had one), Kitty Surprise, Bunny Surprise, Pony Surprise, and Cub Surprise. They were all by Hasbro. I have a friend who has one of each, except for the cub. ^_^

YAY to the person who posted the picture of the original! I had one that was pinkish-lavender & she had 4 puppies. Remember that scene in 101 Dalmations (the first Disney cartoon movie, not the live action movie or the cartoon TV show) when Perdita has her puppies? And one dies but Roger rubs it & brings it back to life? I used to imitate that scene with these puppies...they were just the right size lol.
