Do you think Sm or Lg is best for 22 lb Beagle mix who picks up her treat toys and bounces them on the floor? which I want to avoid.

Hi Laura! My dog was 35 pounds and we got the large. The wobbler is weighted in the bottom part, and the top is too large for my dog to pick it up with her mouth like she does with a regular kong. It's also made from a hard plastic so it doesn't bounce. She had to figure out how to roll it with her paws or snout. She was a very picky eater from a bowl but eats immediately when I fill the wobbler with never a kibble left behind. I hope this helps. Good luck!

She won't be able to bounce the Large Kong, but she may make a lot of noise pushing it across hard floors and baseboards. Larger sized pieces of dog food will keep her busy.

this wobbler is fairly heavy. it's bottom weighted- my 40 lb puppy eats breakfast from it & he can't pick it up- just rolls it to get the kibble out. the hole is pretty small, so can't grab it & carry & since it's rolls also hard to find somewhere to grab. he loves this- even knows when to stop rolling because it's empty..i'm very glad i purchased this kong- he's a pretty strong chewer & hasn't been able to destroy this toy- i do pick it up when he's done though..hope this helps

I would say the large, my Boxer can pick it up but my other dogs can't get a bite grip on it.

This is a hard plastic not the typical rubber that Kong's are, it won't really bounce.

Maggie is a 10 pound, very calm Havanese/Bichon/Poodle mix. She just knocks the toy over with her paw to get the treats out. We have the large size because the small was not available. I think to avoid your beagle picking it up and bouncing it, I'd go with the large and hope it will be too big for her to pick up.. Hope this helps. I will try to post a picture of how Maggie plays with the toy a little later

I have used both for my lab and I personally prefer the xlarge. We just use it for normal fetch type activities though! She seemed to love both.

I have a dog the same size, beagle mix, and she seems okay with it. It doesn't work consistently but it doesn't seem to bother her either.

I'd suggest the smaller version. Our puppy isn't able to get to the treats in the large size toy.

We opted for the jumbo just cuz it's more squirrels and more stump to play with. We shove many little toys inside and our pups just love it.

I have a 60 pound Golden Retriever. He only plays with the goughnut once in awhile. He prefers stuffed animals with a squeaky so he can tear out the stuffing and the squeaky and scatter it all over the place. :-)

I've only used the small one for 8-12 week old puppies...at 12 weeks my pups weigh about 15 pounds, I guess I would recommend erring on the side of caution and use the medium, especially if your dog is an aggressive chewer. It will hold more kibble and there would be no risk of the squirrel getting caught in your dog's throat. My dogs LOVE this toy, it's the only hard rubber type toy they've ever used, for my 45-55 pound girls I use the medium, and for my big guy (100 pound Shepherd cross) I use the large. Typically I fill the squirrels with kibble and put a smear of peanut butter across the fill hole. Keeps them busy and happy for hours!

Like others, I use both. Kongs are great to freeze. I fill them with kibble and top the with peanut butter before freezing them. None if the treats I use work well with a Kong, though. The hole is too large. I use Squirrel Dudes much more often. They work well with regular kibble and the dog gets a longer play time out of them. Both can be used as a substitute ball. My dog love the erratic way they bounce. He seems to prefer the smell/feel of the Squirrel Dude, although I'm sure that varies by dog.

Slightly bigger but not by much. We have three sizes and Our female Lab is about 60 lbs.. By far she loves the large one..Will not let go of it. They all make her happy but the Lg is her fav.

My 16 lb cocker spaniel can move it all around the laminate floor. It's great for the little pup we have but if I put the cocker in with her she moves it across the room and out of shape. I would think if she moved it into the right configuration, she could knock it over:)

I have 7.3 lb Maltese and decided to go with the large one just so she can have more freedom. I`m assuming the large one will work best.

I personally have the large one. Its easier for it not to get stuck under furniture. Also, Dudley plays with it for as long as it has treats in it, and larger ball=more treats=longer time he's occupied.

My dogs are all huge sonthis size is good for me. Look on Amazon or gondirectly to Goughnuts site to see if they make extra small. It took more than a year before I had to send mine in for free replacement and I have a shepherd/rottie mix and a Chessie and they have big,destructive mouths and these toys hold up to them. I think if they make a smaller size you will be glad you bought it.

I got the medium one for our 65lb lab mix and it works just fine! I think the larger ones just cover more surface area, so it's possible they could get the job done quicker for bigger dogs. For us, the less expensive medium size was definitely the way to go!:)

My Bouvier is 85 lbs. and it's been working fine for a year or so. She's a strong puller - but probably not anywhere near a Bulldog. I'd be hesitant to recommend it for you.

I would say a Lab would not be challenged very much by the mini. I have a 38 lb cattle dog with a tiny tongue and she has a great time with the bigger one. You want something that will keep them busy for awhile.
