Product review (1 stars): Poor quality - sheds everywhere
Pros: Look at it! It's absolutely adorable and our son fell in love (especially with the association from Dora & Diego with baby jaguar). He was taking it everywhere with him. Very soft.
Cons: Immediately, it was shedding everything from small individual strands to larger clumps of fur...we thought it might just be the initial period of a few days but it ending up lasting for 3 weeks. We thought it had gotten better, but then I looked at my son's hands right after he had taken baby jaguar around and they were covered with fur...on his face, close to his eyes, on my clothes, it was just all over. A few people on Amazon confirmed this did not happen with theirs and I got a defective one. Looking at all of Wild Republic reviews now though, it appears that while some are well made, a hefty percentage come with rips/holes at the seams or keep shedding and have a white string poking out like ours did. While it was made right, here's my additional notes regarding Wild Republic compared with a couple other companies:

I've tried quite a few brands of stuffed animals for my son and the Cuddlezoo dinosaur and the Aurora brands are hands down the best quality I've found so far. Wanted to love Wild Republic, but even after several replacements and despite how cute they are, a large portion of their animals tend to be defective with clumps of hair shedding or seams opening almost immediately. The jaguar I finally got that didn't shed a ton immediately proved to shed here and there after a couple weeks of use. The elephant we got that I was initially thrilled with because it didn't shed at all, 2 days later with barely any play I noticed that the seam was open halfway on one of the tusks. So in the future I'd definitely spend the extra money to get something by Cuddlezoo or Aurora. The Cuddlezoo dinosaur is cute, great expression and colors, very soft (but scales are more textured), and more realistic than other dinosaurs I've seen...a decent size for toddler or smaller children. My only MINOR complaint is that it's difficult sometimes to stand on it's feet but you can usually fix that and get it to stand fairly well. Also a warning on Aurora stuffed animals, they're usually much smaller than you expect and smaller than Wild Republic measurements which usually are for the height I believe...I got a 12" labrador from Aurora expecting 12" high or at least a full 12 inches long, but it looks not much bigger than a beanie with MAYBE measuring 12 inches long from nose tip to the end of the tail. But like Cuddlezoo, they never shed and are extremely well made. HOWEVER, I am thrilled to find Aurora's "Destination Nation" line...these 12" animals are exactly the size of Wild Republic's 12" Cuddlekins, same price point, but soooooo much better quality. I've since got a few more Aurora plush and they are all wonderful with NO shedding.

**Update, dropped my rating down to 1 star on the Wild Republic. Some weeks later: I thought the jaguar wasn't shedding much, but have been noticing again black or clear strands on my son's palms (and he's constantly putting hands in his mouth)...I took a sticky lint roller to it and had tons of crud coming off including clumps off the tail and seam areas...FIVE times with separate sheets I rolled off stuff and it is STILL coming off. Absolutely ridiculous...no small child should have to risk ingesting all this stuff because a company can't properly assemble most of its products. My son's so attached to it too...if anyone knows of a brand that makes a nice larger jaguar that doesn't shed, please leave a comment as I'm still searching for one. Thanks
