oh gawd my dogs toy box is full of all the above,

plush last all of 10 secounds if it squeaks its dead in 5 secounds..lol..

vinyl ooo 11 secounds

rubber there not keen on but will throw them at me if needed..lol.
apart from the kong now that is brilliant i have had the black kong for about 6yrs now and its still like the day i bought it the red one has gone awol somewere..lol.
oh and another rubber one the knobblybobbly?? now they have chewed the rope of it but the knobbly thing itself is intact and chew free

rope toys last about 10mins then they get shredded

rosze has a tough vinyl/carpet squeaky ball but this is her outside ball so its lasted longer than if i would of had it in the house.lol.

im not sure if having 2 labs fighting over the one toy that shortens the toys life or that are just basically rubbish and not lab proof ...lol..

Jet has a rubber bone and a rubber ring which he plays with and fetches to us as gifts at random intervals.

Rope/raggy toys last until a bit comes unravled then he kills them.

Plush/soft toys he plays with for a while, then de-stuffs and kills them.

soft vinyl squeekys have a life expectancy measured in seconds, but he does love them.

He gets his tea in a couple of kongs a couple of times a week, so he's OK with those.

The longest lasting items so far are nylabones, he loves those, in particular the puzzle bones.

Wubbas area no no, he kills them, and battle tested toys don't last either.

Jet is a champion destroyer of toys Rolling Eyes

Keira loves any toy, so long as it squeaks Laughing She was so good with her first ever toy, her duck, which she had for 2 1/2 years and it was in full working order and "alive" until the little bear Lana killed it Sad Keira was beside herself with grief Crying or Very sad

Eliza has never been a toy dog, doesn't chase sticks or balls Confused I have tried and tried with her but she really doesn't want to know.

Now Lana Rolling Eyes so long as it belongs to someone else, she isn't fussy Laughing

Alfie likes plush but i can't leave them with him unattended coz i'm worried he'll destroy them and eat it Rolling Eyes

His most fav though are my friends dogs toys, he LOVES going round there and playing or should i say destroying her toys Mad Rolling Eyes

Billy loves any toy so long as someone will throw/kick it for him to chase and bring back.... a leaf will even do or a tiny piece of stick Rolling Eyes

The soft vinyl ones don't last 2 mins in our house esp if they squeak.. Alfie likes to chew them and he'll even swallow them to stop anyone else having them Rolling Eyes

Wicca loves everything, so far she hasn't destroyed anything that belongs to her!!!! (My stuff is ok to trash though).
She loves running about with her plush toys and shaking them. Hard plastic like her frisbee she likes to "dig" in and chew as squeeky things always get squeeked at the most important bit in a film and are great fun Rolling Eyes

Hi

Heres our experience of toys:

Rubber ones last approximately 5 minutes - Jet chews and spits the rubber out.

Footballs-Manages to tare off the case and get to the plastic part.

Cuddly ones - lifetime 3 minutes per item the stuffing is accessed and then scattered everywhere.He looks so funny when a piece sticks to his nose.I only buy charity shop ones, in our case you are throwing money down the drain buying ones from pet shops.But he does like to carry the empty body around.Especially if you enter the room he will automatically grab one and parade around the room with it.

Rope toys - shreds in minutes, very fiddly to pick up bits.

Squeaky toys - the squeak is sought and Jet wants to chew it, which I grab and put in bin before he chokes.

Black Kong - Amazingly still in one piece. Red One lost ??.

Nyla Bones, Teething Rings, Rawhides - Untouched no interest whatsoever.

Small Tyre - The only toy Jet has never destroyed !!!. It is a proper tyre not a toy one.He rolls on it, flings it round.The best thing ever.

Sticks - If unable to find one on the ground tares branches off trees.Proud as Punch if he pulls off a large one.

Milk bottles & lemonade bottles - Loves them but makes so much damn noise playing with them.

Ball in a pair of old tights - Gets very excited, carries around, flings about, accesses ball then destroys it.But process takes about 15 mins. The only downfall is when he sees my good tights that I intend to ware he thinks they are his !!!.Which is great when you are trying to get ready for work !!!
