This toy was given as a gift and our Jack Russell x Kelpie / boarder collie Loved it . It is one of his favourite toys. Yes eventually after a few weeks he broke it open and pulled out the stuffing. However this is his speciality which he can usually do after a few hours lol. This toy did last longer than the rest. We simply took out the rest of the stuffing and stitched it up the toy and he continues to play with it .
