I bought this toy from a local Petsmart for my 2 yr. old Boxer. He had this toy chewed up within 20 minutes. The rubberband like material broke off into his mouth very easily. I recommend this toy ONLY if you only want to play fetch with this toy. Do not let your dog chew on it!!

I bought the large version of this toy for my lab/shepard mix who is 65 pounds. My dog can go through toys pretty quickly so I tend to stick with brands that create the most durable toys to make my money last a little longer. The rope on this toy is made of nylon, not canvas like some of the other kong toys, and because it is made of nylon my dog ripped through the toy in less than 5 minutes. I literally opened the toy and by the time I turned around it was in two pieces. I gave it two stars because I was still able to use the fetch part of the toy without the rope.

My dogs love the Air Kong Line. It is a great item to play fetch with and with the shape of theis toy both dogs try to pull on it to bring it back. Unlike the other review, mine has lasted several months without much wear and tear (it is quite dirty though). All in all I would say that this is a great item for fetch and the dog park. The balls are also great as they are close to indestructable for my dogs but still sqeak to drive them nuts.

My Lab mix had the rope detached from the tennis ball material in less than 20 minutes. In the same time, she'd broken some of the individual strands of the nylon rope, so if one thing hadn't broken something else would have. Not durable, not recommended.

I love these kongs in the wintertime because its a lot easier to find them in the snow. They are also easier to see out in the water or along the shoreline all year long.

My dog Suzie and I love to play with all the "kongs on the rope" because you can really fling them a far distance thereby giving the dog a really good run. But for the winter and the difficulty finding them in the snow....go air kong and you'll find them every time!

Our dog (a border collie) is a tennis ball fanatic and loves to play tug of war, so this toy is perfect for him. We like the fact that we can hold on to the rope instead of the super slobbery part he's been tugging on. The odd shape makes it interesting enough that he will sometimes just play with it himself, holding one end in his paws while trying to gnaw on the other. It seems to be pretty durable too. This is a replacement for one he finally finished chewing all the fuzz off of, and it took him several months to finish the last one.

He adores this toy. He holds it by the rope and shakes it and runs around. He literally sleeps with this toy he loves it so much. We love to play tug-o-war with him and he gets a great grip on the tennis ball like material. In short - a huge load of fun!

My yellow lab cannot get enough of this toy and will chase and retrieve it relentlessly on land and in water until I drag him home. Ditto for most of the other labs at the dog park. It's not uncommon for 3 or more dogs to be competing with each other to bring this back to me for the next throw! Highly recommended for larger, high energy dogs.

Two caveats though.....

1) Although it's a sturdy toy, a power chewer will reduce it to pieces in short order. It's a fetch toy, NOT a chew toy, so don't buy it for that purpose. Ditto for "tug" purposes - I've gone through several of these because I don't heed my own advice ;)

2)The rope is made of nylon, which can be pretty abrasive on your hands after repeated throws. Not a big deal, but could be more comfortable.

I have a Chessie and he cannot get enough of this toy. Durable and can launch it really far. Completely recommended.

This toy was gifted to my dog who absolutely loves it!! She loves to chase, fetch, play tug, swing it around by the rope... She goes bonkers for it. Some days it is much better than food for training. I should say that she's not keen on chasing balls, the rope seems to make a big difference.
