This toy has been great for our 1 year old miniature Dachshund, who usually chews through any toy. She loves the bounce if this and will fetch it endlessly. She also has the Hurley for chewing, and so far after 3 months shows little sign of wear. She had the Tizzi, however, and chewed the end of it off in 10 minutes, so I'd stick with the toys especially made for chewers.
