    vs:

    Smoked Cow Ear: 5 minutes to total dissassembly

    Chew Toy (guaranteed/tested - made of "dog resistant materials - the same kind as your shoes! Guranteed to stand up to the toughest chewers) - held up for ten minutes or so until she figured out if she bit in oce spot it would squeak.

    Upon the initial squeak ,time to get at a seam and rip it open - 2 minutes flat.

    Rawhide Chew Bone - been working on it for an hour or so - this will take some time.

    I suggest Buffalo leg bone cut into sections about four inches long. That or a cow leg done the same. They get ahold of the marrow, focusize on that for a good while and then pull the muscle and little bit of meat on the bone. Then they cherish the bone and gnaw on it. You can put peanut butter in the now empty hole to delight them.

    Freeze 'em and make them meat pops. A bag of 8 lasts a good amount of time for a Rottweiler so I am sure they will do well for a Weimie.

    My miniature poodle will isolate the location of a squeaker in a toy and bite down hard - end of squeaker. A pig's ear will last her about 15 minutes but would last a lifetime for my toy poodle. My minature only weighs about 9 lbs more than my toy poodle (8 lbs to about 17 lbs), but that 9 lbs makes a world of difference when it comes to jaw strength.

    Same with my Rottie. She hones in to where the squeaker is and the product is officially on the clock. She also likes to chew the eyes or buttons off anything. I think her ultimate toy would be something with compartments with lots of squeakers and covered in buttons. Oh, and some stuffing for her to scatter about the house.

    I once bought a talking doll at a garage sale for her to play with. It was one of those pull strings. I brought it and she was excited to have a new toy. I pulled the string and she about came out of her fur from excitement and amazement. She freaked the hell out. I gave it to her and she snapped it with gusto and full out ran to a place to maul it. It was quite funny for the couple of minutes it lasted. Well worth the dollar spent.

    If you want your dog to freak out try pouring some diluted beef broth into a stuffed toy and let it dry. Also, beef or chicken broth into an ice cube tray with water make neat treats in the summer, in particular.

    Buy a "Kong" brand hard rubber toy (in this case, go for the actual Kong, not a knockoff or store brand... the durability of the rubber is what you are buying). PetSmart or Petco will have it.

    Find one that has a hole in it to allow the stuffing of biscuits inside it. There's one that looks like a snowman that's about 6 inches tall (I think it's considered "large"). It should be perfect for a big dog.

    Stuff with biscuits, some people wad bread, perhaps peanut butter, and stuff inside, then give to your girl. She'll work on it for hours, depending on how tough it is to free the contents. The toy will last months if not years. I have two big yellow dogs, and they used two Kongs for about 2 1/2 to 3 years before I needed to replace them. I went a size up with the latest pair, and they've been going strong more than a year.

    They aren't cheap, $11 to $15 for the large, but they last and last. I think the black ones are tougher than the red.

    Back when I had Pit-Bulls, I got them each a Kong toy. They loved licking the peanut butter out of it. Then they shredded it. I was pissed! It even had "Pit Bull tested" on the package. F you Kong!!!

    I agree with the above. By itself there is little appeal to them for most dogs. Put something in that will take time to get out and they are obsessed freaks with amazing focus. With peanut butter there is residual left that at first in not appealing since they got the real stuff. But later in time they go back to it and get the rest.

    My rottie mix has chewed Kongs in half.

    Nylabones are good.

    Yah, the superhard Nylabones are tough stuff. I had an 80lb Olde English Bulldog who could only rip up the edges.

    Is it bad that she puts my black cats head in her mouth and then licks her up and down.

    Cat doesn't seem to mind and plays with the dog all day

    As a not so much a cat person but for sure a dog person I think it is awesome and I would like a picture of this. A cat's head in a dogs mouth is just the thing to brighten up a rainy day.

    I have a cattle dog that can eviscerate a stuffed animal in about half an hour. She doesn't care much about her kong but balls? She will chase a ball until she's throwing up and once had me throw it three more times after she broke a canine to the root by running into the cement bird bath. (obviously I didn't realize she had broken the tooth, or I wouldn't have kept throwing the ball) [​IMG]

    my ex wife was a ********.

    Our dog was lost. A couple of days later someone responded to our signs/ads and called. They had her. My wife called me at work to give me the good news.

    She says "they had dogs, and our dog loved their dog's toy. It was a New York-L.A. Bone".

    So I go to Petco, and look in the plastic bone section.
    Yep. Nylabone.

    Dumbass.
