Hello all, I am a full time childrens magician from MA. About a year and a half ago i rescued a samoyed and I want to create a puppet character for my shows (I do educational magic programs for children) resembling my dog! I cannot find any samoyed puppets or even patterns to build my own...can someone please help me out?

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff.......... here are the only dog patterns I know of!

That second link that Billy posted looks spot on to me! Looks like Puppeteers of America is sold out though.  You might try one of this alternative.

Here was another topic on the Son Rise puppet patterns

I've got an uncut one if your interested. It looks like a very good puppet but I am trying to get away from using purchased patterns. It's called Floyd D. Samoyed by the way.

I live in MA if you need any help

Yes monkey...floyd is the one I have been looking for....is it a puppet or stuffed animal? How can I get this from you?

send me an email. I am not sure what to charge but I'll keep the cost as low as possible. It is a puppet but these type are highly huggable, too.

I've seen them as low as $9 and as high as $15 if that helps

  Thank you. We are in touch through Emails and I believe we have reached a deal-Steve
