My 3 1/2 year old male dachshund has DEMOLISHED all $150+ worth of toys I have ever bought him. I was so frustrated that I got to the point where I stopped wasting my $$$. I was skeptical when my girlfriend recommended a ball, because that's his favorite game and I knew that he tears them up the quickest. Like, 15min flat quick. But now three weeks later, I am a believer. He plays with it all the time and he always comes back for more. The Huck (small) has stood the test of time. He's neutered, but this is one ball he's sure to keep!
