Outward Hound Orbee Tuff Football

At 1st my girl didn’t show any interest. On football day we have a tradition when my husband team scores he throws down a ball that she usually brings. This time she brought him the football- no kidding. So smart-she is a Belgium after all. This morning I was taking her in yard to play. I grab a launcher and a ball(cause I can’t throw) and 1st time my girl grab the football. We played with the launcher. She wasn’t game. I grabbed the football. We have huge yard ( 1acre in grass). I thaw, my baby is really fast, the football bounces so many times and ended on the street. My girl stopped at her invisible fence like she is supposed to. I’m the official go getter hopping didn’t lost it, because she is in love. The best part when we finished going in house, she went and hid it in the bushes. We don’t allow her squicky toys in, so she must have thought we’ll take the football away. I know it’s a long story, but you have a fan-Ziva.

The football didn’t get my girl attention. Just like any girl. We have a tradition when my husband team scores touchdown she brings him a ball to throw. This time she brought him the football, no kidding. She is so smart. She is a Belgium after all. The toy is really well made. She is just picky.

We've had a couple of these footballs for a year or more. Two strong Boxers that play tug-a-war with them. No kidding, they will both have the football and pull each other back and forth without letting go. This will go on for about 10-15 minutes before one will give up. These footballs are by far the best toys we've found for them. I buy a new one every year to add to the collection.

We have two 90 lb. chewing machines who have destroyed every toy (firehose snake, small tire, etc.). Three weeks of playing and the football is still intact! I purchased a second one so they would both have one. The unpredictable bounce of the ball is fun and it is a surprisingly soft texture so easy to chomp on to. Very durable, engaging toy for our big pups.

We've had the basketball that is made from the same material for about 6 months and it has survived, but the football lasted only a couple hours. I think they can get a better grip on the ends of the football - rather than the round basketball. And the culprit was the lesser of the two chewers. The ball looks (and still smells) brand new, except for the chewed off chunks at the end. :( Otherwise, the material is very durable.
