I'm sure you would like to buy some toys for your dogs if you have got one, so do I!
I'm having a labrador, it is amazing how powerful a chewer he is! I have bought lots of toys for him, when he was a puppy, he liked to chew a lot already and now he is getting stronger, it gets even worse... he has been killing all theold toys, even his baby toys :-(
I have bought him KONG but it is still... and it is not cheap!
Do you have any ideas? (I bought him real cow/pork bone as well, he still can break it!)

I´ll be waiting for answers to your post as I have the same problem. I have a German Shepherd puppy. She is on her way to destroy my garden. Fortunatly we have very mild winters and she already learned that the house is mine. But still she once chewed a piece of concrete. I´m still wandering what part of the house is lackinmg foundations. I have bought her all sorts of toys, great smoked pork and cow bones. It´s not enough.
Recently I discovered that I have an enemy that throws a newspaper twice a week. It even has my name on a plastic wrap even if I´m not subscribed. So, instead of going to a gym or go jogging, I use up energy picking up shreds from the lawn.
People say they settle down with age. Let´s hope for the best!

Lola is still a puppy (7 months old) but she is huge already. I put her a nickname: the beast. I think she knows she has done something wrong when I yell "Where´s the beast?" instead of sweetly calling her "Lola, where are you, love?".
I should get up at 6AM on a Saturday or Sunday to discover the newspaper enemy. It´s not Lola´s fault.
In a few more days I´ll have a picture sesion of her. She is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Oh you have a great dog...that's my favorite dog Labrador..I'm sorry I don't have any idea of what kind of toy for your dog. Labrador is a hard-biter that's why almost every kind of toys you give to him it won't last except steel or metal one that would not be advisable also for him...I would suggest you to buy cheaper one if ever he ruin it, it would just be cheaper to replace it...

Yes, it is the only thing that last since I have bought it because they are real bones...

When my pup was little he chews quite a bit. I was told by my friend to by cow hooves and it work wonders on the pup and also once a week i will give him a bone to chew. I do have a lot of kongs, he chews on that often but now he is older he has stop his chewing habits but i do still give him a bone or two.
