Squeaker inside toy breaks after 2 days
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
Bought for my 8 lb chihuahua for Christmas. I have 3 little girls. The youngest loves her toys and of course she took this one over immediately. She just loved everything about it. The material on the gator is amazingly durable and I believe would hold up for a good while. The squeaker inside the toy however, broke after 2 days of my girl playing with it. It's now a noiseless toy that she does not like too much as it does not squeak because it only had the one squeaker in it.
I would recommend that 2 squeakers be inserted into this gator. I would not purchase again due to the longevity of the squeaker...only lasted 2 days.

Excellent toy for smaller breed puppies
Color: Blue
My 10 week old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy is obsessed with this toy. It is great for teething, tug, fetch. Pup can’t get enough of it and it is small enough for his mouth to play pretty aggressively and carry, soft enough for his teeth and a nice length of rope. It IS less tough than other Kong brand toys so I imagine it probably isn’t a great option for bigger or tougher breed puppies. But it’s a rare and wonderful find for the smaller breeds. After realizing how enamored my pup is with it, I ordered more of them.

perfect for tiny breeds!
Color: Blue
this toy is the perfect size for my mini dauchshund mix puppy. I looked in several pet stores for a tug of war rope for something for my little two pound pup that wasn't my socks for him to tug on. so many rope toys are aimed for large breeds, and were larger than my dog himself
