| How many different types of toys do they have? ( Kong's, ropes, balls, stuffed ) What are their favorite ones?
Hundreds!! A box in the lounge, a box in the dining room and a box in the bedroom!! They have a Kong each which they have their lunch in. Tuggy ropes, lots and lots of stuffed toys, most of which Diesel tries to rip into a thousand pieces, tennis balls, and a couple of towels. Diesel's favourite is actually one of Abbie's stuffed toys, a pink handbag! Of all the things he could choose...! Abbie has her special 'babies' which do not get ripped and that go to bed with her.
Are they destructive with their toys? How long do they last?Diesel - yes very destructive at the moment although he is getting better. I think its just the novelty of having toys ( 4 and half years living on a scrapyard with nothing) Abbie has her moments!!
Do you have a "Serial Stuffie Killer"? ( Stuffed toys that are shredded beyond recognition ) or do they play with them nicely?Diesel is a killer! Stuffed toy to big old mess in less than 3 seconds! Abbie saves her killings for special occasions!
Do they play with the toys by themselves or do they play with you or other dogs?Abbie does both. Diesel prefers to play alone. He likes to throw a toy in the air and catch it. Abbie is trying to get him to play tuggy with her but he doesn't understand.
Have you seen any toy aggressive behaviour?
No. The first thing I always teach is a " leave it" so no matter how valuable the toy is to them they will release it without hesitation. |
