My Golden pup - 10 months, 90lbs, really loves this teddy! I, like the other reviewer, had to remove the patch carefully after 1 minute because he went right for it. But, it has held up very well otherwise, he hasn't been able to destroy it (and he tries!) The pup prefers this toy over the Buffalo I also bought him.

Each of our 3 dogs have one. They sleep with them at night & play with them during the day. I just wish these bears (& other West Paws plush) had the option to purchase without the patch (& eyes on some designs). For some reason, our dogs want to chew & bite at the patch to get it off. I end up having to carefully cut the patch off before giving the bear to them.
