I bought this for my best friend since she has a couple of yellow labs and she was looking for an easier way to throw a ball for them to chase.  The fact that you do not have to touch the slimy ball once they bring it back is a MAJOR bonus !!  I bought her both the regular size and the Jr.  Breeze now lets my best friend know when it is time to play with the Chuck It.  What a great idea / toy!!
