German Shepherd approved! My dog *loves* this toy and it is surprisingly durable. I've bought him several of these, but not because he's ripped them. First he kills the squeaker in the body, then he keeps biting it until he kills the squeakers in the feet. But this can take a few weeks. Even though he loves to bite Lambchop, he has yet to actually rip open one of them. I just replace them when all of the squeakers are dead and it's dirty from being carried all over the house. He loves his Lambchops!
