My Labrador female adores her "squeaky toys." She has three--the owl, the turtle, and her "birthday toy," that being the dolphin. She knows them by name and loves to fetch whichever one I ask her for. She does not give me the toy, however, but shakes it vigorously as she prances around the room and causes it to emit quick successions of squeaks. The toys hold up quite well so long as you don't use them as a pull toy. We would never be without the owl, the turtle, and the birthday toy!
