My 1 year old mini labradoodle goes CRAZY for plushed toys.. and he will IMMEDIATELY dive into any cute looking toy and try to ruin it. I don't exactly know how many plushed toys he's gone through already, buts its A LOT -so I went on the quest to try and find a cute, tough toy. I've bought him Nyla Bones, Orca petstages, etc.. but the thing is with those toys, he can only chew on them and now really fling it around like a stuffed animal.. SO, I've also bought him toys with no-stuffing, but he still seemed to ruin the heck out of it.. to the point where you can't even recognize the toy anymore.
Moving on... I started asking around for what would be the perfect toy for him. A lady recommended this toy that was made out of fire hose material -great.. but it wasn't cute.. and he seemed to have ruined it within a month. Then, another lady recommended a toy that was made with 100% boiled wool. I thought it was going to be tough as well, but boy was I wrong... the minute that I gave him this toy, the ear was gone already. SIGH.
I really lost all hope on finding a toy that I would think he can actually have forever. But then.... this Go Dog Baby Dragon came into our lives. Not only was it cute, but super appealing because of the "Chew Guard Technology". DEEP DOWN INSIDE, I was thinking that he would ruin it once more... but I had hope.. so, I gave it to him..... and........................... nothing. :) NOTHING came out. Nothing was chewed off. I can't rave how much I love this! and I can't wait to buy more toys from this company! Hoooray!
I had read reviews for these products and thought that maybe i could try them. Though I had my doubts when I saw how many appenages (arms, legs, tail, wings) that the doll has. Before I gave this toy to my dog, I noticed on the tag that it was to have a pull weight of 40kg. My dog is a border collie mix that weighs about 40 pounds, medium sized dog, but very energetic, and can be quite clever.
So here is what happened when I got it:
I gave the doll to my dog (Tess). After I gave her this toy, she started to go off with it, but then paused and looked at me for permission..."yes, I bought it for you, let's see how long it lasts". And off she went. By minute eleven, I heard seams ripping. by minute 18, she had the squeaky part out and left the dragon alone with only a hole in the tail where she performed her mini-surgery. The squeaker system in this toy involved foam and a plastic bag, which I then had to clean up foam peices.....I was not impressed with this. Tess' favorite part of her toys is the squeakers that she removes then carries around the house whining about, so I'm pretty sure she was disappointed with this, though I was somewhat glad to not have the whining part and her wanting me to throw a slobbery peice of squeaky plastic. The rest of the dragon is still together and she occassionally plays with it.
I like this doll as it is very cute and so far she hasn't totally destroyed it, but I would not recommend it as impenetrable to someone with a dog that approaches her toys by dissecting them the way mine does. She does not pull on them in particular, but lays down with them and chews on the same spot and works on it until she can rip the seems apart and "destuff" the toy. If your dog does this, don't expect it to hold up long. The rest of the dragon is still together so far and quite cute, but it has only been about a week, so we'll see if she goes back for the head or feet later....

Within the first 5 minutes, our dog had opened up this toy at multiple points (I think the wing and tail were the most vulnerable). Within the next 15, the toy had been emptied of its stuffing, squeaker, and all other limbs were removed.
While the toy was very cute to begin with, we bought it because of its super tough "Chew Guard" technology. Wish something like this really worked in a plush toy, but for our dog, this wasn't the one.

I purchased 2 of each color of these for Christmas presents and I couldn't be more pleased. My 1 year old Border Collie is known as the "reverse taxidermist" as she un-stuffs all of her toys within a few days. But she hasn't been able to rip these apart after a whole month. The double seams and chew guard technology really work! And they're soft & cute and cuddly and come in really vibrant colors besides being super strong. A great price too!

I got these to replace spouts on sippy cups, but these are much bigger than I thought. Will just get them at the store so I can physically see the size. Lesson learned.
