Sorry. I don't want to hijack the thread but I didn't see the original post but I feel I must reply to this. If the OP is/was talking about "Tire Biter" brand toys, they are extremely DANGEROUS!!! I gave my then 5 month old pups (English setter and GSD) one to play with and not 10 minutes later, they had the thing completely in pieces. These were young pups! I shudder to think would full grown large dogs would do. I would never buy these "toys" again and would advise that nobody buy them. Stick with the (black) Kong-brand toys. They are about as close to being indestructible as you can get. And Kong even makes an x-rayable Kong now where any bit off pieces show up more clearly and easily on an xray... just in case. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
