Best overall ball
I’ve tried about every ball on a rope possible for my German Shepherds and this in Large comes out on top. The durability and softness combination for any price is the best.My dogs also love the Chuck it ball on a rope but it disintegrates in just a few days.

Great for big dogs
Our pup is now 15 months old (nearly 110 lb and still growing). We got this ball when he was 3 or 4 months old.GOODS — Our pup fetches with extreme drive, and the rope helps him quickly snatch the ball off the ground (versus a tennis ball, in which we are worried he will go head over heels at times)- Our pup also loves to play fetch in the water, and this ball floats great and again, the rope gives another point to bite onto- The yellow color is easy to see, even in grass- Our pup typically fetches the ball, and leaves the rope mostly out of his mouth. So, throwing the ball doesn’t result in saliva-covered hands- It’s pretty easy to throw the ball 50′, and possible to throw it 100′- It doesn’t roll/bounce, so if you are for example playing fetch on your front lawn and are concerned with a tennis ball rolling into the street, this one alleviates that issue- Our pup is spoiled and has several balls. This is absolutely his go to ball. We have woken up in the morning before to see him standing next to the bed with the ball in his mouth, asking us to get up and play.BADS — Occasionally when he goes to fetch it, he will step on the rope as he tries to pull up on the ball.- We have gotten this ball stuck in trees multiple times. In fact, there is one stuck on the roof of our church from playing fetch on the lawn there. :-/ Not a fault of the ball, but if you start whipping it around like nunchucks, it might not go where you want.- The near max you can through this ball is 100′. And since it doesn’t roll/bounce, throw distance is throttled. We often play fetch in a local baseball field, and have no issue wearing him out with this ball. However, if you are planning on throwing a ball the distance of half a football field, you might want to consider something else.SIZE — We purchased both the medium and the large. Even though our pup is huge and can fit a soccer ball in his mouth, he still prefers the medium. It’s easier for him to get in his mouth and breath while running back. The medium is the size of an orange, whereas the large is the size of a grapefruit.DURABILITY — We have gone through about 4 of these balls, BUT this is because we lost 3 of them. We believe he dropped one out of the car window while we were driving, one is on the roof of our church, and I forget about the other one. On the first one we had, the stitching behind the black tape was down to a few threads after about 5 months. Given duration we use these balls (every day) and the joy he gets from them, I feel the durability is good for the price.- We do play tug with the ball at times, and no issues thereEnjoy!

Perfect
I am still surprised after almost a year of use that this still holds up to the abuse my big dogs give it. Its perfect for training rewards and retrieval work.

Depends on your dog…
Great product! Unfortunately my dog finds no interest in the ball itself but loves the rope. Got two of these to use for training but if he’s not interested in the ball the rope itself won’t last long like others have mentioned.

Good durable toy
My mal loves it!

Very durable! My golden loves this dog toy.
My golden’s favorite dog toy! She has 5 of these balls now. The size is perfect for her to carry the ball in her mouth or by carrying by the string. The string makes it easier to throw the ball further.

Good but better options out there.
Good ball, but is a cheaper version of the Foamster sold online. The rope is cheap and comes apart, and can be abrasive to a dogs mouth. The Foamster uses a higher quality ball and are more durable and use grippy biothane straps rather than cheap rope. They are also made to order in the USA with lots of fun colors. Worth the extra money if your dog likes these balls.

Get them!
My dogs love it! It is not something to give your dog and leave unattended, as they may break it and swallow a piece… but it is great for training, and… it floats, which is a great advantage for playing outside!Got like 10 of these already 😀

Der Ball ist stabil, mein Schäferhund rennt im Garten damit rum, und ab und zu spielen wir auch damit. Ja ich würde ihn wieder kaufen 🙂
