My Border Collies have had it a few months and have about chewed through the handle. The dogs are hearty chewers- so far only Kong toys have escaped destruction. I got this ball because it was described as good for chewers. The ball portion is in pretty good shape, except for puncture marks, because they have a hard time getting a decent chewing grip on it. They seem to enjoy carrying it around and chasing it when thrown. It is one of the more durable toys they've gotten, but not indestructable.
