I like the Tug Eez tugs… they are made from wool. When they start getting a little out of shape’ish you wet them down some and remold and put in the dryer.

I can attest to the durablity of the Dog Go Nuts toys. Our Airedale has destroyed every toy within a matter of minutes. She’s had her Go Nuts Ring toy for over two years and while there are teeth marks on it, she’s never been able to shred even the tiniest piece off of it. Highly recommend!

Have you tried bone type toys? I bought an elk antler for my dog and she’s barely made dents in it…though she is pretty soft-mouthed.

I have tried EVERYTHING with my dogs. One has bitten the tip off a black Kong, one ripped the center out of a blue puzzle cube, they both destroy the “indestructible” toys in less than 10 minutes. The only thing I can give them are these white dinosaurs from Petco. They still munch on them, but it takes months before we have to get new ones. Oh, and these cheapie plastic orange or blue colored-centered bones from the grocery store. But one isn’t into tugging and the other is just too wild for it. If anything works, let me know. Our tugger likes to eat cloth, including braids so those are out.

My “has destroyed everything else on the face of the earth” dog can not scratch this thing, AND if he DID: IT HAS A LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE.

They also have a few other toy designs (my boys like the stick best), but the ring is the best for tough chewers.

go down to a store which sells equestrian equipment and buy a lunge line for bryce. they are long enough for him to do his business away from your feet and for him to be able to play “nicely” with the other dogs but you’ll be able to shorten it up in time to prevent him from hurting your other dogs. Vanilla is a very nasty flavor to put on a tail as well.

big time chewers will continue to try their owners…one of mine hasn’t touched that “hollee” thing and it looks like an easy chew. We have an extra large braided rope knot/ball tug from a dog show. it weighs at least 5 lbs. it’s been around for at least a year now. I wanted to get another this year but guess due to the economy that vendor didn’t show up. not sure how to get another.
I can say that those “udder tugs” were gone in less than 30 seconds in our house. Certain tuffiestoys have weak spots along the joints so get the plain single piece if you want to try. They are not as indestructible as they claim but they do last longer than a regular stuffie. Nylabone makes a tug toy outta that nylabone plastic. I’ve always wanted to try it but would think that it might break my dog’s teeth? perhaps you can add a denim or fleece braided rope to it?

Thor likes to tug and he likes to destroy stuffies but he doesn’t destroy indiscriminately. He’s an 84 lb German Shepherd though, so he can destroy lots of stuff. His teeth are big and his jaws (and the rest of him) are strong.

Toughest tug-able toys I’ve found: 1) Bumi (can be hard for them to grip it though), 2) the large size Holy Roller ball (we tug with this multiple times a day and is still around ~6 months in. But Thor isn’t trying to destroy it) 3) Katie’s bumpers are pretty tough EXCEPT for the nylon handles. Thor can chew through a handle in about 5 minutes, but the tugs themselves last a good long time. We had the double-tug and it only took one unsupervised chewing session for him to gnaw through all the handles. The Big Tug is holding up well but it’s too wide for him to get a good grip on.

My dogs have destroyed Tuffies, Kongs, jolly balls and any number of “tough” toys. The only kind that last, that are tug toys, are braided fleece. They destroy them, eventually, of course, but it takes awhile. They are cheap (just get fleece, cut it into strips, braid it.) and washable. I wouldn’t leave them out for Tempus to gnaw bits off of, but for tugging, they’re good. Just make sure the fleece isn’t chemically treated to be fire-resistant or some other weird thing. There are also these sort of boiled wool felted tug things that one of the dogs on the flyball team has. It has lasted for years. http://www.tailsbythelake.com/dogtug.html
