Tuffy Jr Barnyard Duck

Our dog doesn't chew the furniture but is VERY hard on toys. The only toys to survive are solid rubber and typical soft toys are 'eaten' immediately.Piglet is doing well. She's had her snout bitten off and some stuffing eaten, but three weeks after giving it to our dog she's still in play.If your dog is like ours don't expect this toy to shrug off heavy chewing but it's as good (if not better) than anything else we've seen.

Since finding Tuffy toys I have bought quite a few, my Husky and I play pretty rough and most toys don't last long. These toys are great and although she still gets through them eventually they are much more durable than other toys we have tried. Once there is a tear the stuffing comes out but the toys are still good for playing tug, she has a de-stuffed shark that she still loves charging about with. Before the Husky I had a German Shepherd and could have saved a bunch of money if I'd had these toys then.This sheep has lasted well, no rips yet and she spent xmas week racing around the house carrying it by the throat and shaking it like crazy. No squeakers so she hasn't focused on one area and it's a good weight so watch out if you get up close during play as it can give you a fair whack to the head. Also, be careful if you throw it as I almost took out a glass display case and my wife gave me "the look".Edit - so it's the 15th of April and my Husky finally tore into this, it has lasted really well and has been one of her favourite toys since xmas. Really pleased with this as most toys don't stand up to our rough play.

So, I had this on my wishlist for ages. Bought it a couple of months back for my pooch for Christmas. He's played with it intermittently for 4 days and the wing has came out... I'm really disappointed. I read a load of reviews and watched the videos and was sold on the idea and thought it could stand up to my pooches tough love...but nope. I anticipated him chewing on the beak so that's not surprising that that's ruined but I did not expect the wing to come out from him shaking it. The stitching is ridiculously poor. Considering the price of this I expected a much better quality of stitching. Very disappointed.

First: I first bought the Elephant Tuffy, rated scale 8 on the Tuff toughness scale (see my other review) . It was my dogs favourite toy (a lurcher) but I've finally had to take it from him, despite sewing it and removing the ears / tusks, he finally managed to chew through its neck.I then bought Polly pig as it looked more rounded and less likely for my lurcher to find a weak spot which he tends to do with things that have ears / bits he can wear down quickly. Again he loved it and it has lasted several weeks.....yes weeks, not months, not even year! I realise it was rated on the scale of 7, so considering the elephant didnt last on scale 8, I suppose it is my fault for going down in scale rather than up! He chewed right through it's snout this time and it lasted a lot less time than the elephant. I have sewn it up again, but first outing out he had ripped some of the black edging off, so it shall go to piggy heaven now. I should add that my dog is only a year old and we do take toys from him as soon as he starts to chew them. But even under supervision, we cannot always get to him quick enough to remove it before the damage is done. Lurchers are like having a small race horse in the house at time! When he's gotta run, he's gotta run !However, I am now going to try mega octopus scale number 10 ! we shall see.....I shall post my review of that in a few months... Maybe I am sucker for punishment you say? perhaps I am, but I haven't found anything better yet....My 3 star rating is for the fact that my dog LOVES Tuffy toys and many of them (not all!) do not have the potentially dangerous squeakers in them which are always a risk and I can never trust leaving my dog alone with a squeaker toy for 2 mins.They are good quality and weighty, despite my experiences so far..... and I am pleased that the Tuffy makers are at least trying to make a fun durable toy for my dog.My complaint is mostly the price. Very expensive, too expensive for something that isn't going to last a lifetime in my opinion. I am also quite annoyed that if you shop around on the net you can in fact buy Tuffy toys direct from the USA for a several UK pounds cheaper even adding the cost of shipping! This isn't really acceptable, as I feel UK consumers are being ripped off.Finally, I would suggest that if you have a large breed or a dog that loves to chew or throw its toy 'prey' around in the air as my lurcher does, then I'd strongly recommend not getting any Tuffy toy less than Scale 8.For medium and small dogs with less chewing power, you may get away with buying a Scale 7 Tuffy. And small dogs or those with less chewing power, perhaps a scale 6 or less. But if you want something that's going to last, I'd go for the highest scale you can afford, which in theory should work out cheaper in the long run.Keeping my fingers crossed for mega octopus. If it breaks so quickly I shall send it back this time rather than sewing it. I really hope Tuffy come up with even better designs in the future, because I think they are getting there, although not quite yet!

Our dog looks like a big softy but has jaws of steel and loves nothing more than ripping the living daylights out of any soft toy (or on the odd occasion one of my good cushions argh!). Anyway, most soft toys are usually minced after 20 minutes but this one took her at least 2 days to even get the tail chewed off, then another few to start on the horns, and about a week later finally chewed a hole in its face and then the ripping out of stuffing began! Despite that, it is easy to pop the stuffing back in to increase the play time. After about a month of my dog having a blast with this toy, we finally started to bin the stuffing as she pulled it out and it is still going strong - a bit battered a worse for wear but plenty of fun left to be had! We have had a few tuff dog toys (at higher ratings of tuffness) but this has far an away outlasted any of them.

Useless! Had a few Tuffy's. This is by far the worst! We had Admiral O'Fury who lasted about a month before the dog made a hole and then another 2 days or so before it was in tatters.This Rabbit lasted <20minutes!!! We expected the ears to be promply removed and they were shredded within about 1 minute but the shocking thing is the fabric itself came apart (not the seam at the edge) after about 15 minutes. Even a normal cuddly toy would last this long. Really disappointed. Definitely not up to Tuffy Standards. AVOID!To explain further these things have a really strong edge around the seams. The fabric is usually thick and the dog is never going to bit through it, so they last, but this one is different & she trashed it in no time at all.
