the pervasiveness of P-names for dalmatians because of Disney results in a larger serial number for Disney dogs within a single year. Perdita, Pongo, Penny, Patch, Patches, Pepper. I like to see the number get bigger but in 2024 I took a break from getting new dalmatians to very slowly and poorly work on cataloging my collection which at that time was about ~200 dals. My current favorite is PD-09-23 which is P(atch)D(isney)-of 9-2023. my serial number system is dumb but I like writing it because it feels nice on my paws.
This is what PD-09-23 looks like. He's produced by Canasa, who was an outsourced company that produced Disney plushes circa 1960-1991 (when Canasa went out of business/ the last proof of existence I found of them was from 1991). His eye patch is actually not sewn on at all and is only held in place by his eye button. I'm not certain which toy line he came from as I bought him from an ebay bundle of like 50 dals and whoever owned him first cut off all identifying tags.
