Our daughter has the puppy for Christmas get (at that time she was 10 months old). The Geblinke and the music she was initially quite funny and she danced. Unfortunately, the joy was rather short-lived. It is really only the shelf, every now and then if it passes it expresses time on it, would be short if a song comes, and then runs as well on. Often it is not looked at for days. For me, the dog belongs to the category Toys, but which excite the beginning much attention then quickly lose the charm. That said, I can say, the volume of the dog is ok, he is likely to be a bit quieter but it is not certain harmful (would say normal call volume). The language is very easy to understand, the voice is not annoying and the songs are sung nice. The keys are, unfortunately, very sensitive (as well as other already written) so that you have them (often unintentionally) touch really just to activate it. Something bad: The dog does not sit independently with us and always tilts to the rear. All in all, a sweet little dog, as I said in our very short interesting (like most baby-electronic "learning" Toys)
