Question
I have a female black lab, about 1 and 3 months old.  SHe is very sweet and loves to play 24/7.  Everytime we get her a toy, she tends to chew it up.  Do you have any recommendations as of what toys to buy her?   Thanks, Michael

Answer
Mello Michael and thanks for your question,

Labs are notorius players lol, my lab will wreasle with my other dogs right up until one falls alsleep. I reccomend kongs and nyla bones top choice, if you get a kong one a rope its a great fetch toy and is good for use in water also because it flots. Some dogs that are ment for retrival really like the ducks or other soft toys with the duck type soudn when they squeak them. Gaint tennise balls are offen a blast the dog trys hard to pick it up but cant carry it for long. Taking a large rubber dog ball and bouncing it against your garage or house and having the dog chase it is great fun also... with my three dogs i cant play this cgame anymore... I never have the ball lol. If your lab is like most labrador retreievers she loves to eat so a normal kong either black or red stuffed with bits of hard biscuts/canned foods or a bit of peanut butter will keep her happy for a little while.

I hope this gives you some idea of what else you can do with your dog, feel free to reemail anytime.
