    Toys for American Bulldog???

    Does anyone know of any toys that cannot be ripped apart easily? My American Bulldog's toys last not even 15 minutes. He rips everything apart and leaves him with no toys to play with by the end of the day! What is sturdy enough for them to play with and at least last for an hour? Any suggestions?

    Large black Kong toys are pretty good.  The hard rubber bones can be good too.  Make sure they're thick and completely solid.

    Thanks, I haven't tried the black Kong, I've bought the red kong but it is way to small for him and it didn't last to long, I've given him soccer balls, which last a few minutes, I've given him stuffed animals, which are torn apart within seconds stuffing EVERYWHERE [:D]!

    The tire toys are great! There is also the indestructable treat ball, you can find out info on it [linkhttp://forum.dog.com/asp/tm.asp?m=9974&mpage=1&key=treat]HERE[/link]. Jolly ball is supposed to be great too but I haven't tried one.

    I have a couple determined chewers and the only thing besides a Kong that they haven't destroyed are real beef bones. They adore them and they last FOREVER! You can get them from the butcher cheaper, but the pet store ones are cleaned and sterilized so that they aren't messy or stinky.

    I have 2 Bull Terriers who are very powerful chewers. The only toys they haven't ripped to shreds in minutes are the Kong toys and the Bad/Good Cuz. I also have the super sized, very hard, Nylabone that is still being enjoyed by both on a daily basis. [;)]

    OOh I know this problem all to well. Toys can be pricey, the more exspensive they are the faster my girl goes through them. After a lot of wasted money I found:
    Cow hoofs (her fav)
    Tire toys
    ropes
    coconut, yes a real one, they break it open after a while but the inside isnt bad for them

    My Am Staff shredded a tire toy in seven MINUTES. Since she's smaller than an Am Bulldog, I would recommend the black Kongs too.  FWIW, the red ones come in many, many sizes as well. Ask your pet supply place to order larger sizes!

    You can also order Kevlar toys on eBay.

    Speaking of these tire toys, i have a funny story.
    I got Rory one that had a ropes tied to it and she would get the rope in her mouth and shake shake shake. meanwhile the tire is hitting her in the face HARD! She would get SO mad because of this and shake harder, thus making it hit her harder. Man, it prvided endless entertainment but in the end I felt bad and just got her the regular tire the next time. Cant have my baby going brain dead from self abuse, ha ha!

    I recently bought a new toy for my dogs that is made out of canvas.  They have been playing tug with it nightly for weeks and not even a hole has been made.  They usually destuff their toys right away.  They are not as big as your dogs but they do destroy things, especially Izzy! 
     
    [linkhttp://www.fatcatsinc.com]www.fatcatsinc.com[/link] is the company that makes them but you can buy them other places too.  I found one at Target and got it b/c I saw a snake that Silly Sally has and her momma mentioned that it was the only toy she hadn't destroyed yet so I decided to try it.  My dogs LOVE their frog...which according to their website is actually a cat toy but I can't see any cat playing with this big of a toy.  I am really impressed with how it has held up so far.  The snake is the next thing I am getting.  It has some sort of reinforcing rope inside that makes it great for tug!
