I was somewhat hopeful after reading some of the other reviews that my 8 month Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix would finds days of enjoyment playing/chewing on this toy. Not the case, it was torned and chewed through in record time and put in the trash w/in less than 10 minutes. May be a great chew toy for older pups but for now I'll stick with the rawhide bones that I also get on Amazon " Green Cow Rawhide Dog Bones, 6-7 Inch Natural Bones, 8-Count bags (Pack of 2)"
