So we got our new guy home last night and he was all excited checking everything out.... We had some toys out for him that we had just bought and he seemed to just love the Kong Wubba(?) toy...  He loved it so much that in 2 hrs he had ripped it open....  Is there a certain toy you guys suggest that is extremely or near impossible for him to destroy that your dogs have loved??

I go to the goodwill & buy stuffed animals for 50 cents & pick up the stuffing when they are done, LOL. They kong that you put treats or peanut butter in work good at amusing them for a while

Take a look at these toys.  I have found that the Kitty Tail and the Rings last forever and my kids love to play with them.  I have seen them playing tug and chewing on them and they are still going strong.  There is no stuffing to pullout, but they can still pull on the furry part and it stays in place.  They are also washable.

The other that seems to last forever is from Go Dogs.  Here is a link:

I haven't tried the wolf, but the other two are like new.  They also have no stuffing and are washable.

I have three energetic GSPs that pull, play, chew, and general try to destroy these and haven't so far.  It has been over a year.

I'm always worried that they eat the stuffing so I don't give my dogs stuffed toys unless they have proven themselves not to gut them. Like yours, Tessa loves her Wubbas, maybe because it's fluttery. Got a big one and a small one to carry on outings as a pacifier. Both are a little frayed but holding up well, I guess I should be grateful for that.

So you may want to move on to the kong toys, I think they are the most durable. I also like the Petstages toys for puppies/toy breeds...don't laugh...Tessa absolutely loves those. We have three. They have different textures (she loves both the textile and the rubbery plastic) and some can be frozen for soothing effect. We have the Jack and the Tube, the soft toss ring and the teething stick, and they are holding up well, but your pup sounds like a destroyer.

Webster's favorite toy are these rings. They're pretty durable.  We found them in petsmart

mit - My kids have the rings and like them too.  As for Kongs, well they last (even the super heavy duty) only a couple of days, and that assumes mine will even play with them.  Most of the time they could care less unless I put peanut butter in them, and then poof they are gone, totally chewed up.  They do like the Wubbas, although they are not a favorite.

Those rings...it's funny, I picked them up a couple of weeks ago and Tessa does not at all care about them. And they look like so much fun when Webster carries them...
