Excellent
This is fantastic and excellent value for money. We bought the first one over five years ago and our Chesapeake would not go on a walk without it. It is true the softness makes it prone to damage if a dog chews hard, as other reviewers have complained. However, when he was younger our dog would chase it and grab it out of the air. Here the softness is a great advantage, as it reduces the risk of injury. In other words, it is not 'rubbish' per se, it really depends on what your dog is doing with its toys. Over time the odd one disappeared, either because another dog got hold of it and destroyed it or because we managed to throw it into ditches, lakes, rivers etc. - it does not float! What have we learned from that? Simply always to have a spare one at home. After all, we wouldn’t want a disappointed, moping dog, would we now?!
