Rockinthebox Pet Rock with Walking Leash, Kraft

This was the first breeder I contacted when my husband and I decided to welcome another rock into the family. The breeder assured me his litters were whelped on location at his farm, and all were temperament tested. He had a portfolio of his champion sired breeding that had gone on to be show and working boulders and such. We were initially impressed. During our interactions he seemed hesitant to let me fly out to his kennel to see the rock I was interested in. That should have been a red flag, but this was my first time purchasing a purebred stone. While his littermates were listed and sold at high prices, this one, as he told us, was not priced as extravagantly because its temperament assessment determined it had no show or working potential. A "family rock" as it was described; just what we were looking for. We eventually agreed he would ship it. When it arrived, the poor thing was in a makeshift crate with only some straw for warmth. Had soiled itself enroute as well.While we trained our rock from a pebble through registered obedience facilities, we have come to realize "family rock" turned out to be more like "problem rock". We have struggled to correct behavioral issues that are obviously the result of poor, possibly inbred, breeding practices. Most recently, my husband suffered a terrible and unprovoked bite.While it breaks our heart, we will have to euthanize our rock. It should never have to come to this.Do NOT buy from this rock "breeder". A Google of his name revealed this kennel has been in trouble in the past for rock-milling. Some were beyond saving and had to be reduced to gravel. So sad. I have learned my lesson, be it a hard learned one. Adopt, don't shop.

I ordered this for a secret santa gift for one of the throwback guys at our office. The package arrived promptly and undamaged. The sole reason for three stars is the product itself. While I was not expecting much (it's a rock), I was aggravated by the size of it. When I opened the carrying crate I assumed that the sender forgot to include the pet (rock), but after further inspection, I noticed that it had slipped down under the bedding. The pet measures approximately 3/4" long by 1/2" wide. If you have it out and sneeze it could be lost forever. Like I said, I wasn't expecting much, but I remember my grandfather getting one as a gag gift and it was an actual stone.

I got this for my best friend aka love of my life ! We like to give one another gag gift's ! Flash back from the 70's it said ! The pet rock came in perfect condition & the box gave Her a comfortable ride to her new home . What you see is what you get with your lil new born pet rock . I will be buying more for Family & Friends . With the cheap price for a pet that last forever how can you beat that ? A wonderful gag gift for loved one's of all ages ! Ordering eye's so are lil stoney rocker can see . This is just the first born of our rock family .. LOVE IT !!!!!

I bought this for my six year-old and she absolutely loved it and still calls "River" her pet after a couple months. The box tore apart quickly (would have been a cool pet carrier) and the leash repeatedly breaks and/or slips off the rock. I get that it's a gag gift, but the smooth rock, nest material, and instruction manual make for a fun toy!

I had purchased this as a gag gift for a friend and it was a BIG hit! The only thing that the rock was missing was googly-eyes but it didn't matter because my friend appreciated the novelty item just the same. I wish everyone would revive this classic because it reminds everyone of being a kid. Who says we hafta grow up anyways?! A person can enjoy hours and hours of simple enjoyment without the responsibility of caring for a living pet. If you neglect your Pet Rock, who cares? But I guarantee it'll always put a smile on your face. Be young, have fun and buy one of these, will ya??

I got this for my classroom after discussing retro products. Although I was very aware of what I was getting, I thought it would be slightly bigger. The whole box can fit in your hand. Also, there was no "hemp" plant on the packaging. So no need to fret!

I was a little concerned when I received the Pet Rock as it didn't move around to much and it's appetite was very minimal.It is smaller than expected but It's a fun novelty gift for a Yankee Swap or a friend with a sense of humor.

This product is super cute and hilarious for the person who says "I don't want anything for christmas". I for one got this for a friend who I barley know since she is a friend's girlfriend. She loves it! Even put it in her car window. Super cute.
