My old dog was an extremely play/toy motivated dog. If it squeaked, rolled, bounced she was interested. She also loved her chew toys. So imagine my surprise when I got at GSD that wasn't interested much in any of the above. Tried and tried, gave up stuffed 'em all in the toy box and resigned myself to replacing his rawhide roll every 4 months (yes it lasts that long). I brought home a bag of toys from my neighbor's that I was going to air out and donate to Goodwill. First I looked through to find if there were suitable dog toys for the BF's dog. James (my dog) walked up sniffed the whole pile carefully and then took off with a small stuffed pig that was just small enough that he can get the whole thing in his mouth, yet it's big enough not to get swallowed. It doesn't squeak, barely bounces and only rolls if kicked on tile but he loves it. Of course I let him keep it. The upshot is since he only likes smallish toys my stuffed animals that are sitting around as home decor get left alone. So what toy did your dog find/claim that you just had to let them keep?
