Buy SportDOG Plastic Dummy 3-Pack Now
I have gone through more than a dozen of these from several makers/suppliers. My 21/2 year-old Black Lab loves these, but he destroys them within a month of daily use (one hour/day in the family pool). The black valves fall out in a few days and he eventually slashes the the orange body with his teeth until they won't float. A good but short-duration toy. My dog will insist that I buy more.I got the these thinking they would be a hard plastic, my dog played with one of those at the dog park and loved it. However, they are a soft rubber. My Lab is only 7 mos so we are still working on "drop it" with her. Threw it once, she brought it back, two chomps and she had completely bitten through the loop where the rope goes. Since the the loop is hollow and part of the main body of the toy, it can never be used in water as it will fill and sink. I will also never be able to attach a rope to it again unless I come up with a duct tape solution. Oh well, guess I have to wait until she learns "drop it" before I try with the other two. Will keep looking for one that is actually the hard plastic, she'll probably still kill it, but at least we will get more than one throw out of it.Good product made of quality materials. Holds up well and made of softer rubber than other bumpers. I will be buying more of these in the further.
