Unique armadillo design
Style: Armadillo
I love the look of this armadillo toy. The flexible rubber shell gives it a spiky texture. It has reinforced nylon seams and printed eyes. The feet allow the toy to stand on its own, daring dogs to come knock it over. With a body length of 12" and standing 5" tall, the toy is of good size for even larger dogs, but it intimidated my 8lb yorkie mix. She found the hard shell and spikes off-putting and not fun. The toy is supposed to squeak, but either mine was broken or buried too deep to be useful. This was disappointing because I think a squeak would have helped my pup engage with the toy because she can't resist a noisy toy. I'd recommend this armadillo for larger dogs than my tiny pup. It seems durable with that rubber shell around the body.

A hound's dream toy.
Size: Small, Style: Mallard Duck
I bought this for our "grandson"--a happy go lucky beagle--to play with while we were dogsitting. It took a while to motivate him to play with it, but eventually he caved... and then promptly proceeded to tear its insides out! I took a photo and sent it to my son, and he remarked, "Wow, it has been a long time since he played with a toy like that." So even an old hound past his prime enjoyed this toy. As for quality, this is a very well made toy. Yes, it's true that the dog ripped it to shreds, but that'll happen to any toy if the dog is determined enough. I was happy he enjoyed it. He also has two loofa dog toys here that he hardly ever touches, but this duck toy was too much for him to resist. My only suggestion is to supervise your dog while he plays with this. Besides the inner stuffing, the toy has a fuzzy surface to it, and you don't want him chewing a bunch of fuzz if he tears some out, as dogs are apt to do. Other than that, GREAT DOG TOY!

My Border Collie's absolute favorite toy!
Size: Small, Style: Chipmunk
Stuffed animal (with squeaker) securely attached to rope hoop. Lasts a long time as a kind of frisbee. However, really an outdoor toy for active play, because when my dog has a chance to lie down comfortably this toy will get torn apart and shredded fast!!! (This is his third!) Can be repaired for awhile to prolong use with strong cotton carpet thread, but it is not immortal, so be advised.

Fantastic Toy, Completely Worth It!
Size: Small, Style: Mallard Duck, Size: Small, Style: Mallard Duck
Ever so slightly smaller than I expected but that’s really on me for not checking the measurements. It’s not too small anyway, so it’s alright. It’s definitely a very high quality material, my dog plays super rough with it and still has yet to make more than a very tiny hole (which was easy to stitch). It’s well-stuffed, super cute, and not too realistic but realistic enough to give that duck vibe. It’s built very sturdy, so I expect it will last a long time still. It survived its first two washes just fine as well as the dryer, and the quality of the fuzz hasn’t really gone down. Definitely worth the buy! Will absolutely buy a second one when he finally does destroy this one, since he’s obsessed with it. It’s his favorite toy (and honestly, mine too, it keeps him so entertained and it holds up wonderfully).
