My dog is a small Chihuahua mix. She is very particular about her toys. She loves this one; runs around the apartment with it in her mouth or shakes it vigorously then lets it fly. She has trouble making it squeak, but I do not mind that. The lack of stuffing does not bother her at all, Out of the approximately a dozen toys I have bought her, this is one of the two she actually plays with so I bought a second to have on hand.
