Barbie and her many PETS! A deep dive!

[@emanuellathie4250]

I never realised Barbie had so much pets over the years, since I only remember the pets (Taffy the dog, Blissa the cat and Tawny the horse) from the Barbie Life In The Dreamhouse show. So this video was a treat to watch.

[@cerysb1704]

Didn’t she also have a dolphin in life in the dream house (or was that just a 1 episode thing or me just really misremembering)

Barbie must be secretly running a puppy mill, why does my girl need that many puppies? Also the semi realistic animals are my fave.

[@Ysckemia]

LOL a puppy mill this is horrendous XD reallistic animals are the most valuable to me. back then i had Dallas, but the white and grey version even if i live in france. i lost him decades ago and when i found one on a flea market i was so happy to have it back. never since that one, a barbie horse have been so articulated, and i think it's a shame. i also had Prince.

[@Starcrosspurple]

Hi! Keiko the Whale was a real whale. He was the whale who played the titular whale "Willie" in Free Willie. That is why he had a name, and the seal and dolphin didn't. If I remember correctly, that's why percentage of the sales went to Save the Whales, because there was controversy over Keiko remaining in captivity and this was supposed to go toward his release

[@Jhud69]

And then he died a horrible lonely death after being released because he was not meant to live in the wild as he was raised in captivity.

I wonder if they called it Barbie "Pet Doctor" because they thought kids might have a hard time saying veterinarian?

Omg, you've just unlocked a memory I didn't even know I had, like.. I had no idea that I remember all the animals names from the 90/00, Dancer, Fluff, Prancer, Prince, Tiffy.. BUT! The best doll with a pet is always gonna be the original Barbie and Tanner, which is on my dream list, because my friend had it and I remember envying her soooo much, that I just must get her one day 🙈💛

[@danamummabear9799]

I had the 3 small kennel care sets from 2001, they were amazing! If you pushed either up or down on the mother's tail her head would go down and pick up her puppies or kittens, the mother had a magnet in her mouth and the puppies and kittens had magnets in the backs of their necks. I was so upset when I lost those 3 sets over the years

Hey! First off, I love the channel, so I don't want this to be interpreted as an attack, but rather a learning moment. I am Native American, not Inuit or Alaska Native, but I have met and spoken to some and they do not like being referred to with the term "eskimo". It is actually considered somewhat of a slur to the Inuit in Canada specifically, it seems. This word does have a history of being used in a derogatory way though, so I wanted to let you know in case you've never heard this before. You don't even live on this side of the ocean, I don't think any of us to expect foreigners to know what we prefer or that we even still exist.. but we do. Once again, I'm a big fan of the content so I hope this won't be interpreted as hate.

[@jennawalkingstick5322]

I'm not sure if that set you mentioned was supposed to actually be Barbie or not, because there is an Eskimo Barbie and she's clearly supposed to be Indigenous. Nowadays it would be more proper to call her Inuit Barbie for example. Hope this is helpful for figuring out how to say it in a way that respects people's wishes.

[@CordeliaWagner1999]

Yes Eskimo is a slur. But a slur depends on who uses it as a slur. And who just uses the Word because that's all they know about that culture. But this is Barbie World and the dolls are made with good Intentions. To teach children about the World they live in and that there are many different cultures. I am German, I live in a country colonized by certain Religion and my Heringe is getting erased. The Colonizers call my people "Almans". It's a slur, too. But I don't see it as a slur but as a reminder that the Colonizers from the Middle East acknowledge my people are still here. And if Barbie existed in 200 years from now, Alman Barbie would be a Symbol of my culture.

[@meganlister3084]

I had Dallas and I loved her! Her leg broke off and I still played with her. Dixie was Dallas's baby.

[@mintywolfcrafts]

The nostalgiaaaaaa!!!! I had the Bobbin' Bow-Wows Dalmatians, Kennel Care Barbie, and Posh Pets Kittens. I literally played for hours and years with the Sweet Sounds Pet Shop 😍 Never had a Barbie horse; Always wanted one, but the proportions between doll and horse are weird so I get put-off everytime lol. I did have the stable playset where you could swing the food troughs in and out. This worked great with the large Chestnut Ridge Horses. I often wonder where my old toys are now in the world. Hope they are still living and still loved 💛

[@jankk]

I had the horse Silver from the 1970s Lone Ranger toys and it was such a beautifully sculpted & well articulated toy that the Barbie horses just never compared.

[@melissarains1017]

So entertaining. Who knew you’d need 25 min to cover this topic!!😂 How did I grow up with only one Barbie horse???

[@Victoria-he3xh]

I have the Rainbow Horse, she's so beautiful! I actually had a LOT of the 90's Barbie horses as a child, but they all were lost tragically

[@The_Alexandra_B]

I had so many of these in the 90s/early 2000s! The whale set was so fun!

Jamie from the '70s is the doll's name, not the poodle's xD

[@misstressfoxtail05]

I had the first pet doctor Barbie from 1996. I had the black version and I remember when my friends and I would play Barbie dolls everyone wanted to be that doll because she had the prettiest long light brown hair. Before this we had only seen black dolls with black hair. Still one of my favorite dolls from my childhood.

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

1996 was a banner year for 4-year-old me! I had Pet Doctor Barbie and the larger Barbie and Keiko set. I vaguely remember playing with those two in the bath. Pretty positive I also had Lacey the Afghan from 1999, and Kelly's Petting Zoo in 2000! It was crazy seeing the Petting Zoo again and remembering all the animals and sets. Thanks for the memories 🥰 Edit: kid me would have loved those National Geographic Barbies!

[@jessicacaraballo645]

This must have taken forever... And it's so helpful I've been trying to figure out which pets and horse I had as a kid

[@PonySparkleToys]

18:11 Thank you Joey for explaining that. I was wondering why I didn’t see the pink sparkly Pegasus from the 2008 Barbie movie Barbie and a Diamond Castle. I remember having her when I was 5 (I’m now 21.)

[@Fluffy-Rose1993]

Nibbles is my all time favourite Barbie horse. I actually once asked some horse reddit what colour Nibbles is meant to be and they were surprisingly stumped. They suggested she was Palomino or Cremello but apparently the tan coloured legs threw them off. I wish they made horses with the old molds. I hate the super cartoony horse faces they use and miss the fluttery eyed realistic horses.

[@marycallahan6394]

Actually when they mention Jamie they are referring to Walking Jamie the doll, just had to point that out.

[@foxesofautumn]

Ahh I had Prancer and Prince (and personal favourite Day-to-night Barbie) when I was little. My best friend had Dallas and the horse float and car set that matched him. Many hours of fun with those.

[@Nobbejo2]

I have the pet doctor Barbie from '96. I think this set has one of the best pets because they have movable legs and head and their semi-realistic look matches with Barbie. Those modern cartoony tiny animals are just silly and they look ridiculously small compared to Barbie.

[@Mitch-Alex]

Take a shot whenever he says "set" 😅😅

[@barbiestablebydonka]

I was very happy when I saw that you've made a video about Barbie pets and other animals, she got so many of them that I knew that it is impossible to talk about them in just one video. I am a Barbie horse collector, right now my collection consists of about 40 horses - and that's not even a half of all horses that Barbie had. There were so many editions, so many different models and moulds. In some cases there were differences in one model - depending on the part of the world it was released in. There were so many sets with carriages and stables. I am trying to destinguish all the Barbie horses moulds that were produced during the 54 years history of them - and that is a very hard work. I have three old dogs in my collection - Snowball, Tourquise/Tabasco and Prince. I would love to get Bobby and Beauty some day. I think that Beauty is a very nice dog, you found pictures of neglected one. Snowball was my childhood toy, when I started my collection I got Turquise/Tabasco and two years ego I got Prince - I was so amazed by his quality! Sometimes the pictures don't show the details and when you got something in your hands, in front of the eyes - you can see the real quality and feel it. He is the most beautiful dog in my collection, I assume that Beauty is similar. Often you can find pictures of Barbie horses with neglected, tangled hair in bad condition - and they really look bad - I got many horses in such poor condition and give them second chance to shine with all of their glory!

[@tiffanyklaas2951]

I love these "every" barbie videos! Can you PLEASE do an every HAIR-specific barbie video???

[@carriemaxwell4695]

I had High Stepper, bay watch with the dolphin, spot scene, and then just used original littlest pretty shop animals (before they went all big head). Occasional McDonald's toys also were adopted into the mix. I actually still have them and treasure them but they went absolutely overboard with throwing a pet into everything. Now, the Barbie Extra line was fun and funky and I think that deserves its own little video because those pets were wild! A crocodile, mouse, husky and more. Every time I got an Extra doll I gave the pet to my daughter because they're so goofy and outrageous, they look like they came from their own little universe.

[@miinka]

Great video! As a kid I had barbie walking beauty and barbie pet doctor from 1996. Another one not mentioned is Barbie society hound from 2001. A collectible doll with a 1920’s inspired outfit and greyhound in a matching coat!

[@CAROLINELobo-y3j]

My favorite has to be the parrot.

[@alixmcknight]

Firstly I want to applaud you for all the work you put into every video! Your channel is really fantastic, and I love your enthusiasm for dolls. So, I also had the “kitty fun”, as well as then”bobblin’ bow-wows”, the “sweet sounds pet shop”, “posh pets”, and “Barbie and Tanner”. I remember when I was really young having a horse drawn carriage. I believe the horse was white. I also had a Sea World Barbie but I don’t remember if it came with an animal. But, yeah, I LOVE animals so I enjoyed having a bunch of pets and the pet shop. Anyway, I look forward to your next video! Thanks for the great content!!

[@judrawing]

13:50 OMG THE ONE I HAD!!! I loved SO MUCH the Dalmatians, but i probably would get the cat too if I wasn’t so small at the time, I was only 3 years old. But I swear seeing this play set with all the objects that it came with is so heart warming to me, my memories of this was when I already have lost some of the items

My daughter currently has a couple of the newer sets that included puppies (newborn/mom and puppy stroller) and a cat for Chelsea (I think), but never knew there were so many pets before that.

[@marjolijnzuidema1475]

I think I used to have Nibbles the horse, but it came with a stable...? My mum found it a flea market. Before I could even blink she had already cut Nibbles' long manes and tail, to prevend it from tangling xD Also, our cat chewed on the saddle, so I had to use a rubber band to strap the saddle onto the horse. Nibbles had it rough at my house 😂

I think my parents got them for me secondhand) but my brother ripped their heads off one day and my parents were only able to get Ken’s head back on, as Kira’s neck had broken… Except Ken’s head never QUITE stayed on most of the time, so I gave up on trying to keep it in place and just officially called him Headless Ken, and he was the leader of the other headless barbie dolls (courtesy of my brother), or sometimes I’d play out weird love triangles between Barbie, Headless Ken, and Ken’s Head lol (Eventually when I wanted her to have a non-decapitated love interest, I took one of my brother’s bionicles to be her robot boyfriend) Hmm. Headless Ken/The Headless Kens would be a great band name…

This was great to see. However, the dog you called "Jamie" (1970-71) was not the dog's name, but the doll's name. The doll was using the current twist-n-turn Barbie head mold (1967), but it was a new character with centered brown eyes, exclusively for the sears catalog retailer. It was "new and wonderful walking Jamie". The dog that came with Jamie didn't have a name. It was just included as Jamie's dog. No matter, this was a great review of the history of Barbie dolls pet's. Great idea! Well done.
