The famous Gund slogan is "Gotta Getta Gund"
Manufactured in the USA, Gund stuffed animals are of exceptional quality - they are soft, plush, luxurious and cuddly. Gund stuffed animals were first created in 1898 by Adolph Gund.
Gotta Getta Gund, Gund, Gund Kids, Gundbaby, babyGund, BabyGund Nursery, Gundfun, and GundGifts are registered trademarks of Gund. Adolph Gund had no children so, in 1925, he sold the company to Jacob Swedlin with the stipulation that the company would ALWAYS be GUND. The company, now over 100 years old, is based in Edison, New Jersey. Today Gund sells over 1500 products but Gund makes more than Gund stuffed animals. The company also makes gifts ranging from bone china to sterling silver but it is still mostly known for the Gund stuffed animals.
Some collections of Gund stuffed animals that are and have been available are: Mohair Bears,
San Diego Zoo, Career and Lifestyle Bears, Everywhere Bear, Premier Bears, Sesame Street, Celebrating America, and Val Skinner.
The Mohair Bear collection of Gund stuffed animals is of particular note. This collection is comprised of various bears, each one being limited to only 500 pieces being made. These mohair bears arrive in presentation boxes, numbered, with certificates of authenticity.
