Would this be a good toy for an over 100 pound GSD? he breaks everything.

Yes. I have a 110lb Akita and she hasn't hurt it yet. Have had it at least a year.

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 used the recommended amount for my dog. He is a German Shepherd 9 month old pup. He BROKE the crate and managed to escape a large metal crate. Its a miracle he didn't harm himself. I returned the product the next day.

If my 95 lb. lab can't break it....nobody can!!!!! But it can get wrapped around trees and anything else they get into if she is left unsupervised.

I understand your concern, however my experience with this Kong Balls is that they are virtually indestructible. I have two adult male German shepherds that play with theirs continually, and have yet to see this ball shredded to ribbons like so many other toys. We bought this product about 8 months ago and its still going strong!

My 1 1/2 year old male pit bull that weighs 80 lbs and destroys all toys has only put little punctures here and there in it after a couple months of daily chewing, so probably so. It's a great toy.

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 think it depends on the dog. Does your dog tend to break things? If yes, maybe go for the bustercube.

Yes! My German Shepherd tried to dart across the front of the bike to get to a squirrel and the angle she took (because it is attached at the rear of the bike) was through the front wheel. I thought a crash was imminent, but it kept her from even touching the wheel. I have an Aussie as well who loves to chase squirrels and was always a challenge to keep focused on walks... She is "cured" of that with this attachment. She tried to dart at first and the attachment keeps her from going anywhere and I barely felt a tug. My dogs are 70 pounds and 65 pounds

Yes! I have a weimaraner who loves to tear apart any toy he has. He loves hard runbery things and this is his favorite toy. We have replaced ours once... because he lost it in the back yard. He had it for over 6 months and hadn't put a dent with it. If your dog does manage to tear this toy apart, the company will replace it for life for free.

Maybe you can ask again and see what the weight is. That seemed to be the problem for our dog. It is a big chunk of solid. I gave my away to a friend with a bigger dog, or I'd check for you. It was too heavy for out 9# maltese. Robert is right -- it's not too expensive, so if it works, you'd have a great toy, and if it doesn't, it wasn't a big investment, and you could gift elsewhere.

Our 65 lb. American Bulldog/Pit Mix destroys most all toys including some of the Kong Rubber ones. Got this one for him in December and he has just now destroyed it. But, I might add, he was only given it occasionally and did not "tug" with it daily. He loves it though and gave me that sad face when I tossed it in the garbage. I will purchase him another and hope that I can make it last a while.

No, my 65lbs Doberman broke it after a few used. He didn't even pull on it hard he was just running around playing and the end piece broke...

That should be fine. My other dog who plays catch with it is a schnauser mix. He plays with it the hardest. He weighs about 40 pounds.

Mine isn't strong enough either. I waited too long to return it. I went and bought a real good one from a Dog Trainer. It has 120 levels plus vibrate only and works great. It was about $260 but well worth it. I have a 1 1/2 year old German shepherd @ 90 lbs.

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha
