Pup Pourri Kissing
Pups
Kiss me! I’ll "kiss" you back!
Pup Pourri Kissing Pups are a series of scented plush toys sold by Hasbro that seem to have been released in either 2004 or 2003. They each require three AAA batteries and retailed for approximately $14.99.
According to Hasbro's website, these dogs were exclusive to Limited Too.
The reason their tags mention "Sega" is because Sega and another company called Horipro own the rights to a franchise called Ochaken (or Tea Dogs), and these plush dogs resemble Tea Dogs. While four of these dogs are based on existing Ochaken characters (Hana, Ryoku, Chai, and Cafe), these four have some differences from the Ochaken characters they appear to be based on, and Hasbro doesn't seem to refer to these dogs by their original names. The berry and lavender versions of the toy don't appear to be based on any existing characters however.
One dog which resembles Ryoku has a citrus scent. Ryoku is a dog that loves green tea, so I would expect it to be tea-scented if Sega released this instead.
Appearance
These dogs are in a sitting position and they feel soft. Each dog has a large muzzle with a large snout, long droopy ears resembling leaves, and a large pair of eyes.
They come in six colorways, including:
- Yellow Vanilla: A cream-colored dog with yellow ears and a yellow nose. It has dark blue eyes, white eyelids, and a white muzzle.
- Brown Chocolate: A dark brown dog with dark brown ears and eyes, a light brown muzzle, and bright yellow eyelids. It also has a brown snout.
- Blue Berry: A light blue dog with a white muzzle, dark purple eyes, white eyelids, and dark blue ears and a dark blue snout.
- Pink Rose: A pink dog with dark purple eyes and ears and a dark purple snout. It has a white muzzle and white eyelids.
- Purple Lavender: A dog that's a darker shade of blue than the Berry version but still quite pale (wasn't sure how to properly describe this one, sorry). I guess you could say the shades of blue used for this one are closer to purple than the shades of blue used for the Berry version?? The shade for its snout and ears is a bit darker than the shade of blue used for its body. It has dark blue eyes, a white muzzle, and white eyelids.
- Green Citrus: A green dog with black eyes, white eyelids, a white muzzle, and a lighter green shade for its ears and snout.
These names were taken from Hasbro's product pages, though the boxes for them omit the names of the colors and only mention the scent. I don't know if these names are actually the names of the dogs themselves or if they only refer to their scents. Also, each dog has a collar, but I didn't describe them.

You're supposed to kiss the dog's nose, and it will move its head up and down and stick its tongue out, trying to kiss you back in response. They also make sounds such as barks.
