I bought it for my 1 year old Corgi. The dog swallowed and destroyed the toys, I was worried, I learned from my friend about the toys for training and I bought this bite tug and one more with double handles. Indeed, they are very durable, still haven't torn. The Corgi has a small mouth, but she catches toys well, and thanks to the handle it can be thrown easily. It's handy and convenient to be taken for a walk. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the toy is designed specifically for dog training. I'm glad I got it.
