Artisans hand sew the animals "inside out", an old world tradition that results in the mininization of seams, and their bodies are carefully "sculpted" to create "musculature" and "features" like movement in a walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature. On average, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal, that must be combined by a team of truly creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterize HANSA animals. (Some animals have as many as 240 different parts!) Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique "personality", there are more than 860 different fabrics and man-made furs from which the "coat" and "hides" are made, along with over 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories allocated for creating these wonderful plush animals. Stuffing emphasizes careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials.

I ordered the stuffed animal for my mom who’s Chiweenie died last October, he was 21 years and two months when he died. My mom has been very lonely and wanted another dog, but she’s not physically able to take care of it so we decided to go the stuffed animal route. We had purchased a different one online from a different store, but she said it wasn’t realistic enough. So we looked again and found this one from Oden Parker. She’s extremely happy with this dog and likes to have it sit on her lap in her chair, and take it for walks with her walker. It has made her very happy. Thank you.
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my new "fur baby." I'm a senior in poor health, so owning a real dog would not be an option. I named my new friend "Mac" and he sits in my bay window looking out. So real looking, right down to his chest wrinkles! Thanks for making such a beautiful product.
