Indestructable Ball

[ruff n tumble crew]

I have one of those for one of my horses. It's still going strong after 4-5 years. BTW, instead of adding water, you can remove the nut and add a few small rocks or BB's so that the ball makes noise. The noise makes it more stimulating.

Glad to read that your dog is having so much fun with the ball. But, I have to give you a word of warning. Our GSD, Tasha, also has one and just loves it. However, she played with it so hard that she wore down her lower canine teeth and had to have crowns put on them. And, she managed to puncture the ball too. So, I would suggest that you check on your dog's teeth regularly and if they look like they are getting worn, maybe you should limit access to the ball.

I'll try to post a couple of pics of her teeth, the ball and the "princess":

Wow thanks for the photos and warning.

Love the pic of Tasha. German shepards are great dogs, I worked with one when I was younger. Sorry to hear that happened to her teeth.

I got the challenger ball rather than the boomer ball. The ball seems to be too heavy/thick to penetrate but I could be wrong (it is soft enough to make surface marks). However, I'll definitely keep my eye on Dexter. I limit his time with the ball and I certainly wouldnt want him to have the same issue. Thanks again for letting me know.

What kind of horses do you have? I used to work with Arab race horses when I was younger.

Thats a good Idea with the ball. Whats strange is on my ball the hole is super small to the point where you would struggle to put anything in it. I will try and get a photo to show what I mean.

Is yours the boomer ball? (I have the challenger ball)

Oh wow. Look at those teeth! Thanks for the warning!

I don't know exactly what kind of ball it was. I do know it was called an indestructable ball. So far with my quarter horses and paints, it's lasted well.

Those balls are similar to the Jolly Ball. I bought one 17years ago for my first lab when he was a pup and needed something indestructable. He did not like it...frustrated him that he could not grab it in his mouth(it is very heard plastic) and it layed in the side yard hidden by ground cover....that is....until I got Guthrie. When Guthrie found it he was thrilled...it is his favorite outside toy.

I believe Jolly balls were originally made for horses. I love this video of this horse having a fun time with the handled version.

Great videos - thanks for posting them. Guthrie really likes that ball! That is exactly what Dexter does.

...by the way your house is amazing!
