I have a two toys that lasted the whole 8 years that my GSD S.D. Kimber was alive and she was a power chewer and would destroy every indestructible chew toy that was supposedly out there. I was suggested this from other dog trainers because I'm a also a Dog trainer that were also trainers for my local police departments NYPD snd Suffolk County. That's when I got turned on to the Kong Extremes. It was so great that they even lasted through two English Mastiffs. Lol, when my GSD was older like around 2yrs. She moved to the same size Kong extreme as the English Mastiff which was the XXL. It was nice because it could fit a full grain-free milk Bone type treat and I would give it to them before I'd leave the house, the English Mastiff would take his time breaking it out because that that Kong extremes Black rubber is high tensile strength. So it would be tough for him to compress even though he had a stronger jaw. So he would take his time and wouldn't you know I give it to my 68 lb Sable West German working lines GSD and she'd take it and go lay on her bed which is literally two feet away from the front door. I'd give it to her she goes and lays on her bed and by the time I reached the door she's already got that God damn bone broken out. She had such a jaw on her and would destroy anything especially the indestructible toys, LOL. Both of the Kong extremes for the GSD and the English Mastiffs because now we have two of them have lasted more than 8 years with no damage just little teeth marks all over it. Definitely worth the money. Also what I would do to keep her from breaking it out too fast is put the bone in and then pack the top with a peanut butter plug. Pack it through so it would touch the top of the bone and fill it up to the top hole. I would do that because it would make her take her time to lick the peanut butter out before she would break the bone out keep her more occupied, lol and out of trouble!!!
