No toy is indestructable, but Tuffies are great. They come in different strengths, from 1 to 10. Higher the rating, tougher they are. Collarways make them and they are lovely to deal with.

Just had a look at the link, think Jack would prob need a 10 rating, which is the mega rings. I hope he wouldn't be able to destroy it too quickly at £25!!! I'm not going to get one just yet...have spent a fair amount on him and my other animals already this weekend! How strong do people find the 9 scale tuffies compared to the 10 scale? The 10's don't have squeakers in so Jack would prefer the 9's, but don't know they'd be robust enough for him!

Squeaky toys dont last long in our house either. Within 5 mins most soft toys are in bits, rubber toys are of no interest to my dog, so they spend their life in the bottom of the 'toy box'.

Bought a Tuffie at Christmas - the medium size octopus - a squeak in each limb and one in its head. It is still alive and kicking, nearly 2 months on Have seen pictures online where tuffies have been destroyed within minutes, so definately not 'indestructable'. I would say they are worth the money and would buy again in future.

my pooch is ball obsessed, but also loves the squeakies! I got her one of those phlat balls, which you can squash flat, and they then pop into a sphere shape. she has destroyed loads of toys, but not that one. because her main love is balls, i can give her a hard rubber ball, which she will play with and try to chew, but can't destroy my son hates it, as whenever he trys to play football, she joins in and pops it! also a nightmare when you take her out and the local footy team are playing! one time i had her off the lead and she just ran into the pitch (ignoring me screaming for her to come back, and careering after her) and grabbed the ball! thankfully it was only a practice match!

shes a world away from my old pooch, whose toys lasted forever! i was gobsmacked when new pooch destroyed a tennis ball in about 90 seconds flat! lol!

That's very useful to know...there is only so much squeaky you can take!!! I tried throwing the ball out of the back door earlier so he'd squeak it in the garden...but he came straight back in squeaking it !

I put mine back in for a little noise fun after i had some quiet time !! hahah then i had to pull it out again... not tried the jackaroo just the lil cuz balls. i don't have a dog anymore and the pup at my other halfs parents house is still too young for those yet!

You can take the squeaker out??? I've looked at the ball Jack has that i said about in a previous post and how very squeaky it is...it's a cuz ball! Can you put the squeaker back in once you've taken it out? Have you tried the JW jackaroo? If so was it any good?

I have now discovered Orbee toys by Planet Dog. They rubber is good for Jack to chew but quite tough. And there is no squeak, yet he still loves it so that's a from me!

Toys called "Tuffies" which have a varying amount of toughness depending on your dog- can't remember who makes them but you may find them with internet search. They have a squeak in some of them- so they may suit him.

Nylabone toys are good not make a noise but harder to destroy than a kong

my dogs exactly the same the only thing i have found that any good is a ball called orbee it dosent feel tough but its sort of rubberised and fights against them chewing. just make sure to get a standard one not one for older dogs or puppies

i've heard once about a go-kart tire as a (almost) indestructible toy... i think it lasted very long but off course it doesn't squeek off the track

The thing is, if it's the sqeek the dog likes, then you will be hard pushed to get anything that is not destructible, he obv gets a thrill out of killing the squeek, as does my JRT, so no amount of squeeky toy is going to be able to take the punishment, and if you do happen to get one that is difficult for ther dog I would be slightly wary that the dog did not become a bit obsessed.

I was going to suggest a kong but that has been tried and tested I see

Have you tried the balls forgotton the name that are larger than the dogs mouth. Can even get them for horses. You could possibly push some noisy things into it so there is noise and superglue some fluffy bits to the outside.

I have had to stop giving Bubble toys, she is quite possesive, and will only give it up for another toy, and if any of the big dogs go near her, she would take the face off them, then all hell would break loose as they dont take her crap, so for a peacefull happy bunch, there are no toys allowed.Circe prefers her sucky blanket anyway

I have to say, she is sweetness and light with the big dogs, and actually quite submissive towards them, as long as there is no toy involved, she changes into superdog with a toy(well at least she thinks she does

I seem to remember someone telling me that kongs once stated they were indestructible...but now say "virtually indestructible"! I have a tough rubber ball the same size a a tennis ball...he hasn't destroyed it because he won't play with it cos it doesn't squeak and he can't chew it!

Re: Toys for a powerful chewer?

Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 20:29:48 GMT

I remember years ago, one of my Rotties was a terrible chewer of toys, anyway I bought this rubber.........seriously hard rubber "indestructible" ball........ it lasted 2 mins exactly and was in bits. I wrapped it up and sent it back to the manufacturer stating that it was not indestructible I never heard a thing back....I wonder why??

Sorry I cant help, but none of my rotties are destructive with their toys........it's the JRT who destroys toys in my house.
