Does this toy hold up well with aggressive chewers

Oh yes. my 1 yr old Aussie is a crazy chewer at night when he has no one else to play with. this toy has definitely held up longer than any other toy I've gotten him both online and in a store ie petsmart petco etc. the tails, ears and antlers came off almost instantly but everything else is still intact.

Not the limbs or horns. My husky mix was able to tear those off quickly. But she hung onto the rest of the toy for a while.

Oh these are by far the best for any dog that is an aggressive chewer. I have 2 puggles who love these and I have only repurchased this ball 2 times.

it holds up well to my pit she can make it squeak by biting on it hard but it takes a licking the regular kongs that were hollow didn't work out as well she just start working on the hole and pretty soon there wasn't much kong left my I also suggest the Nylabone Big Chews Beef Bone for Big Dogs that what my pit mix uses for a pacifier

Absolutely. Our dog loves her and hasn't come anywhere close to destroying it. She'll play fetch with it or simply lay on the floor chewing it. One of the best toys if not the best toy we've bought for our dog. She is about a 50 pound yellow lab, 2 years old.

I have a 30lb puppy & a 50lb puppy & the large size has worked great for both since they were 8weeks old. If you have an aggressive chewer you might think about a Kong extreme (the black) but unless this is their only toy you should not have a problem.

Yes, It is a fantastic toy! We have a 65# Boxer and this is her favorite toy. The house lends itself to many other hiding games. Very sturdy we have had it since 12/13. It only has 5 dogs.

My 30 lb terrier can destroy anything in about 5 minutes...including black Kongs. After two months the Goughnut is still in one piece. It does not show any tooth marks or gnawed spots. The shape and material make it hard for him to really get a hold of it in a way that he can chew it. He tries. He does like it and we play "tag and tug" with it.

Hi Ellis. I also have two really tough chewing labs and the West Paw Design toys are hands down some of the best I have seen. I'd recommend the Hurley and Jive as the most durable of the group. Thanks! Jason, Backcountry K-9

They are pretty durable, but your dog can definitely tear it apart if she wants to. My dog will chew more aggressively on nyla bones and be more gentle with the stuffed toys to hear the squeak. They are made nicely so you can cut off an arm or leg and the seams will keep the rest of it together. Huggle hounds are more durable (but way more expensive).

Unfortunately this toy (Elmer the Elephant, KONG Cozie) did not last very long once my puppy got her adult teeth around 4 or 5 months old. Up until then, it lasted a pretty long time (about 6 weeks), longer than any of her other stuffed toys, but it really depends on how rough your pitbull plays. I do think these toys are stronger than most other stuffed toys, so it might last a decent amount of time.

Yes. I have a 2-year old Shepherd-Pit mix I adopted three months ago, and she didn't waste any time chomping and gnawing on everything she could. I went through about $175 worth of different toys she destroyed within 24 hours, but so far, the West Paw Jive toy is intact! I learned that part of the trick is giving my dog daily walks/exercise, and alternating different chews and activity toys that keep her busy chasing, chewing or trying to find treats. Good luck!

I have a 30 lb terrier who can destroy any toy in very short order. After 6 weeks the Goughnut is still alive! He does seem a bit frustrated that he has been unable to rip it to bits.

I have 2 pit bulls, one around 50 lbs and the other that's 65-70lbs. Both are strong chewers... they are able to break of large chunks of the standard nylon bones. They loved tugging with this and it lasted 2-3 weeks with playing tug constantly, and I do mean constantly. This was their favorite toy hands down. It's in 3 pieces now and they still try to tug with it, but they also like to chew on the pieces like a bone. They have never broken off any pieces by chewing it.

I don't know about Cuz but, my dog that destroys every toy has yet to hurt this one and it's been a couple of months.

I have a chewer. She got it for her birthday (3/17/13) and it still squeaks. A few small holes but still squeaking which is what keeps her going. Even went through the wash once.I have a 50lb basenji/husky.

No, this isn't good for real chewers. We have Shepards and this lasted for a few months, but they didn't chew on it that often. I recommend the KONG X-Large Bounzer Dog Toy (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_3?rh=n%3A2619533011%2Cn%3A2975312011%2Cn%3A2975413011%2Ck%3Akong&page=3&keywords=kong&ie=UTF8&qid=1399747102) for chewers. We have had this for a long time and it has still not been destroyed after a lot of chewing.

So far my aggressive chewer has not destroyed it. Like your dog, my dog shred almost any toy in minutes. I am very pleased and planned to get a couple of more. I don't feel like I am flushing money down the drain.
