Question
My 11mth. female golden is chewing up all her toys. Even the "durable" toys dont last 5 minutes - she only likes a knog when it is filled with treats and I know she cant have treats all the time.

I have 2 children so she plays a lot and is not bored but I really wnat her to have some toys she cant destroy.  
Any suggestions!

Answer
   Hi Mary,
        I'm sure you know by now - there is no such thing as a durable toy when it comes to retrievers! :) During the first year we owned our first Labrador, we must have spent about $100 on toys alone! Eventually, we found the perfect toy. It's called a Jolly Ball and lasts about 6 months. No, really: six months! They're about $13 and are totally worth it. They can be purchased at Petsmart, The Buzzard House, and Petco. They're about the size of a basketball, and are made out of rubber but are actually durable. There is a handle on top that allows you to throw it with great ease. It's well worth it!
