Story
Welcome back to the Furball Puppy Campaign, dear Furball Friends!
The Furball Puppies:
A pack that is round, fluffy and full of personality.
And because my heart is beating for Enamel Pins too, every dog got his own Enamel Pin version!
I've put a lot of heart and soul into every puppy – and I'm already looking forward to seeing this wonderful pack grow together with you!
About me:
I'm Akitaya - Artist, Plushie collector & creator, huuuge anime- and dog fan from Germany ... and of course, the person behind the Furball Puppies.
This project is very close to my heart. In the last years the dream of creating Plushies has grown up in my heart, but it's an other thing to really go this first step. At the beginning of 2025 I've found Backerkit and fell in love with some of the beautiful Plushies here. It was a long way to learn about how to build up such a campaign & how such a Plushie creating process works (and, well ... not to underestimate the time it needs to create Prototype 1.0 and 2.0).
However, as it was clear that the campaign would not be financed in time, I took some time to think about how to proceed with the Furball Puppies and when to restart and to rebuild the Campaign.
The Order of Puppy Breeds stays the same from the fist Furball Puppy Campaign and the Pledge Levels too. So you'll find what you know from before - just with some improvements.
For 6 or more plushies: only one dog per breed (excluding Add-Ons)
Puppy Sets: 1x, 2x, 3x (Mini Pack), 4x (Medium Pack), 6x (Half Pack), 8x (Big Pack), 12x (Every Breed / One per Breed), 25x (All Breeds, all Colors)

Prototype Photo Gallery - A Plushie's Evolution & some thoughts...
Hello again, Furball Friend!
In this Part of the Story section I'll just share some experiences & thoughts from my first try of prototyping a Furball Puppy. It is not necessary to read this Part, so you can skip it if you want.
But I want to share some thoughts & the evolution of this Project and especially my future Plushie Projects - so this Part is more personally than the rest.
1st Version of 2025:
Of course I was aware that the first try usually don't look perfect, but to be honest I was
The First Prototype wasn't
tried I've ordered the very first Prototype for the Previous Furball Puppy
1st Prototype Update 08/25:
In 2025 I made the first try starting the Furball Puppy Plushie Campaign - but because I ordered the Prototype too close to the beginning of the campaign, it needed time and more time, and after two weeks they send me... "someting" looking like a self sewn Dog Plush, but not like FurBALL Puppy.
Of course I was aware that the first try usually don't look perfect, but to be honest I was a little disappointed about this. Mainly because I knew that It would need at least two more weeks to wait for what ever
"Yeah, I recieved the the very ... very ... very first pictures! x'D"
🐶 Yeees... our little Goldie looks kind of ... amusing. But don't worry, this is only the very first step. 🐾
The manu told me, first round of corrections on "Goldie 1.0" are specially for the body shape. ;D
After Shape is adjusted and closer to the imagined plush, material- and color adjustments will follow. He will have a body of Medium Fur and Tail and Ears will be Long Fur - to be super fluffy!
Around two weeks after the 1st Sample I recieved the 2nd one. And it starts to look like a Furball Puppy!
There's luckly not much to say about the Back View. Darker Color for Ears and Tail. He could be a little more round, but from this perspective it would even work.
