Personalized Pooch

HELP!

I have shared a home with dogs for over sixty years.  It has been my pleasure to be in the company of many different breeds.  I have loved many breeds from the regal Afghan Hound, the slightly skittish Irish Setter, the ever loving Golden Retriever, many “you make me smile every day” dachshunds and now the scene and heart stealing Goldendoodle.  My question to anyone who might care to answer is quite simple.  Has anyone found a toy or a bone that can’t be destroyed by the loveable Goldendoodle?  I have tried everything from the indestructible vinyl to rubber.  Phoebe can dismantle most any toy eight minutes after it comes out of the bag.  Large thick bones are gnawed  through in no time (and we all know how unsafe and dangerous that can be).

Please, if anyone has had a similar experience and solved the problem I would love to know how!  If you have come across any indestructible toys or bones please share your experiences.  Phoebe needs a toy!

Are you thinking about a pet? With many people not able to afford to keep the family pet and having to give them up should you rescue or purchase a pet from the humane society or buy a pedigreed breed from a breeder that you know is soundly bred?

Some people believe that purebred dogs from reputable breeders are the only way to go. With a dog from a breeder you get a guarantee, after care and a dog breed with known history and characteristics. With a pound dog, you need to be careful – but you know you’ll be saving a dog that needs you. Also a pound dog can be more economical.

Petfinder has an article “Selecting the Family Dog, How to Find the Dog of your Dreams” will help you make a choice.
