"What could be sweeter than a precious puppy or cuddly kitty? Sweetie Pups and Sweetie Kitties, with their long, brushable hair and irresistible looks, are special playtime pets thai kids can love and nurture. These huggable pets resemble actual dog and cat breeds, and feature silky, combable hair in natural colours to add to their charm. Accessories are included with every Sweetie Pup and Sweetie Kitty for lots of hair play fun."

There were eleven Sweetie Pups in the first series, each one a different breed of dog. Each one came with an award ribbon shaped hairclip, ribbon and either a comb or brush which were produced in a variety of colours. Eight were 5 inches high and three were 8 inches high.
