I recently bought this lambchop toy at a local pet store. Our puppy has really enjoyed it, and while it ripped across the top within a few weeks it may be just because she has puppy teeth. She doesn't play tug with her plush toys very often, but does chew on them a fair amount - no ripping. With the cost and her love for this little lamb, I didn't mind to buy her a new one to prevent the insides from being all over the house. We will keep her none the wiser about destuffing a toy - for now! I am sure it is coming!! I will also be buying the Mr. Bill from the same company as I think she will love that one too!
