I am so glad West Paw decided to make a small ball. My beagle border collie has been obsessed with the 2" small Kong tennis balls, and I have tried absolutely everything trying to replace them as they are made in china and do not last long, finally I have found something that will work, most balls I try to replace them with are not even touched, but he has been carrying the jive ball with him since I got it! The jive ball is great! We have tonnes of West Paw products, bed, blankets, ziscs, hucks, hurleys, bumis, and salsas, and they are all wonderful! Thank-You West Paw!
