After purchasing the Red hurley with the intention of giving it to our 18 mo old lab for Christmas. We ended up giving it to him immediately and it is now 10 days later and I believe I will be returning it soon. He has already made knicks it in and we believe it will be very soon before it starts falling apart. We also purchased a Huck and that was saved for Christmas so we are hoping that one will last a little longer. I do have to say he enjoys both of them, just hoping they last a while longer.
