We have bought numerous "high quality" toys for our Doberman, especially those that make noise. What happens though is that she ends up killing them by either puncturing the squeaker or the toy itself, or we have to take the toy away because she'll get to work on a piece that could lead to something dislodging. Well, we saw one of these at a breeders house that has a high population of Dobermans so we picked it up for ours. I am totally pleased with this toy as it keeps our Dobe occupied, and some times she'll play with it until she gets a good workout, goes and lays down and takes a nap. It's the first toy that we've bought her that I am confident that she won't kill, and that she won't get bored of any time soon. I highly recommend this toy without any reservations.
