Great dog toy

Rating:*****
My 1 1/2 yr old shepard/lab mix loves this toy! We usually play with it inside but I do usually watch him when he plays with it since he likes to grab it and shake it by the rope - could do some serious damage to breakable things inside! It's awesome to play tug-o-war with and fetch. He even plays with it by himself and chews on it. I'm pretty amazed since we've had it for a while now and the rope is still there. I figured that'd be gone pretty quick! Anyway, great dog toy - thank you!

Fun and sturdy

Rating:*****
My dog loves this toy. We only use it for fetch although it's stood up well to some heavy chewing as well. It's great because you can toss it in the water or use it on land. It also tends to bounce erratically which is very exciting for my pooch. As other have said, the rope isn't too study, it's made for tossing, so if you want that intact don't use this toy as a chew.

Holds up to even the most determined chewer!

Rating:*****
We got this as a last-minute "add-on" to our order and couldn't be happier. We have an 18M old golden retriever mix who LOVES to chew (mostly inappropriate objects). While he made short work of the pull-rope part, the main toy has held up well (no pieces breaking off, etc.) and makes for a great fetching toy (good weight for long-distance throws). We'll be getting another to keep at the lake.

Gourdo Dog Toy Major Hit

Rating:*****
I was looking specifically for a dog toy that could withstand the rigor of a friend's whippet.

Not only is the toy as durable as could be desired, my friend's whippet immediately seized upon it and wouldn't relinquish it until bedtime, so it's obviously attractive in the right way.

Great Toy!!

Rating:*****
I have a very active 2-year old Boxer who absolutely loves this toy!! He loves the way the toy bounces around erratically and that he can pick it up by the rope. This is a great toy and I highly recommend it it. Thank you!

Durable toy

Rating:****
This is the only toy that we have found that lasts more than a few days. This toy is almost indestructible. The only thing I would change is the rope which our dog chews through immediately.

Indestructible

Rating:*****
This is the first toy I have found that my golden cannot demolish in a few hours. He loves this toy and it still is in great condition after several weeks of retrieving and chewing.

Awesome toy

Rating:*****
My lab mix loves this toy. She's a bit of an aggressive chewer and chewed through the rope within the first week, but the rubber section seems pretty durable.

My dogs tend to destroy "fetch it up" toys very quickly. This one has lasted!
