My 3 pit bulls LOVE their Hurleys. It's about the only toy they will retrieve and tug with. But the Hurleys don't last forever.. my dogs "attack" the ends and eventually gnaw/pull off a chunk. A few months is about as good as it gets. But I continue to buy them, because they last LONGER than any other toy. Sadly, they don't like the TUX particularly (the design of that toy probably makes it more durable). With that warning, I highly recommend the toy.
