Stuff the body tightly, fasten off the thread, and leave a tail for sewing.
To make fabric patches and ears, trace the desired piece on fabric with a small pattern and cut with a small allowance. Sew the fabric to the crocheted piece, gradually folding the allowance inside.
Start assembly by sewing the head to the body, then symmetrically sew the ears to the head between rows 5 and 12, bending them in the middle. Sew on the paws, leaving a 2-row gap from the junction of the head and body, then put on the snood from above and sew its edges with the remaining tail of the thread. Fold the top edge of the snood to make it snug near the muzzle; optionally sew buttons or beads onto the snood. Attach the legs with a yarn attachment between rows 7 and 8 of the body, then sew the tail between the legs at the level of row 9.
Optionally, you can add spots to the body by gluing felt or sewing knitted spots. Embroider, if desired.
