My molly loves playing with this toy. The latex rubber is durable and provides hours of chasing fun. My only complaint would be the rope lanyard. The rope was easily chewed through in a day. I have replaced the rope with a more durable material./////Yes

Our Lab, Barley, loves this toy but he destoryed the rope after about 5 minutes...I cut the rest out and now he just plays with the rubber part./////Yes

My dog definitely liked this toy, but I had a similar problem in that the rope handle was destroyed right away. I haven't replaced it yet, though it looks like its simply enough to replace myself. Until I get the chance to replace though, it mostly gathers dust. :-(/////Yes

My boys love this toy. I will say that the rope was destroyed within 10 minutes but I just cut the remaining part off and they still love to play with it and chase it. we now own 3 and i would purchase this toy again. I love that it is easy to find in the snow when they take it outside. only 4 stars because the rope is so easily destroyed and because nothing is perfect. currently own 3 of these and love that the toy itself is tough and virtually indestructable. /////Yes i would recommend it

I saw the reviews that the rope doesn't last, and the same was true for my dogs. It was a brief life. Like the other people, I was interested in the rough-n-tough rubber part. Sadly that didn't last either. After one day in the kennel with our male blue heeler, the guordo turned into blue sprinkle chunks. I have a sqwash, turnup and squareball that all have endured the test of my pack. So, if you need a super durable toy, I recommend the others./////No

First off, I dont let my dog play with this toy unsupervised, so I've not had any of the destruction problems some of the other reviews mention. It's my dog's favorite toy. He'll swim into the ocean farther than I could possibly throw just to fetch his Gourdo. However, we lost the original toy to a crazy ocean current. So now what are the options for a 100 lb lab? The original was orange. Now the only available colors in large are Blue and Black. What sort of colors are those for a water toy?! We lost the 2nd one in a week because neither of us could find it in the ocean. /////yes

Like other comments, the rope was pulled out within a day or two. The dogs LOVED the toy even without the rope but that got shreaded after a month./////yes

Rex loves it it is his favorite over the Squash and TurnUp. He likes the rope a bit more than the rubber but for tug-of-war I make sure the rope part is for me and the rubber is for him so it lasts longer! /////yes

Very durable, heavy rubber. Great for retrieving. Probably won't float so we don't try it in water. My boy about knocks himself unconcious with all the shaking he does with it. His eyes light up with excitement each time we bring it out. I do not recommend unsupervised play with this toy it can be flung far, break windows etc./////yes

I think as a matter of disclosure, .... in the "salient characteristics" description part for this product, .... they should start of with "this product does not float, yet its not mentioned in the product description. Love the durability of it, though I'm only 2 weeks into it. With that said, .... On the second throw, the string came out of the rubber housing on one of one of them (I bought 3, based on my Lunker experience; things just disintegrate w/ dogs). I had to get all McGuyver like and fish the string through - then weld / melt it so that it wouldn't come out. All is well w/ the two others as well as this one now w/ the fix. As long as I stay away from the ocean, we should be good w/ this one. /////yes

Our black lab loves this toy. She lives in Maine in the summer and retrieves in from the lake (yes it does float) and plays on the beach in Mexico in the winter. It also doesn't wear down her teeth like a tennis ball. Great for all retrievers!!/////yes
