If you know the words to this song, you're either older than you think or have been hanging around some one who is (grin)
Anyone know what kind of Dog/Puppie this is ?

I was thinking it was a boxer pup too. Thanks everyone. He sure is cute. Too bad I have to sell him. AH, if I could keep everything I thought was cute!
Spark, the only thing I remember is what is right after that verse
Who is that doggie in the window,
The one will the waggley tail
Who is that doggie in the window?
I wonder if he is for sale

Who recorded it? I believe it was Doris Day. This is going waaaaaaay back
My vote is Boxer also.

The version I knew as a child was:
How much is that doggie in the window,
The one with the waggely tail,
How much is that doggie in the window,
I hope that poor doggies for sale.

Amber, you have it right. Now I'll have that darned song running through my head all day. I can see it now. . .working in the backyard humming How Much is That Doggie in the Window? Should be good for a few laughs.

That's the version I remember too Amber . my mom taught us the song - I thought it was a nursery rhyme! I googled for the other verses - definitely NOT a nursery rhyme!!
How much is that doggy in the window,
The one with the waggily tail?
How much is that doggy in the window?
I do hope that he is for sale.
I don't have a brother or a sister
They just put my daddy in jail
I sure need a friend who love me
I do hope that doggy's for sale.
Mommy is on the street hustling
Trying to raise daddy's bail
And I sure get hungry in the evening
I do hope that doggy's for sale.

Omigosh, neglus ... my mommy sang that song to us all the time when we were little, but only that cute 1st verse.
I am amazed at the next 2 verses you found ... sheesh.

Ahaa.... okay, stricken from the rules about the Googling ... HERE is the verses I remember better (I knew 'California' was somewhere in a verse )
---
HOW MUCH IS)THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW - 17/04/1953
1 week at #1 - 11 weeks on chart
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy's for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog he won't be lonesome
And the doggy will have a good home
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy's for sale
I read in the papers there are robbers
woof woof
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggy to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishes
He can't take a goldfish for walks
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy's for sale

estatesalestuff, yes, that is the version we used to sing many years ago in England. I think the other is a more modern version. I must say I prefer the old one better. I used to sing the first verse all the time to my kids when they were little, and they did the "woof woof" part.

I don't remember it from the radio - but I do remember hearing it on the Lawrence Welk show.
I'm pretty sure Lawrence didn't allow Neglus's version on his show.

LOL - I sure didn't! That was the first result when I googled with it spelled "doggy" (you get other results with "doggie" evidently LOL). I don't remember it even being a pop song - just a ditty my mom sang (and I guess she only knew the first verse!)

I saw her in a dinner theater some years after her hit with this song but she was still great. I loved all her old songs. Didn't she do Fever too??

Ladyjewels: I'm pretty sure that Fever was done by Julie _______ (blanking on her last name!) - sultry, smoky voice, a fabulous rendition.
