Alyosha Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 It might be easier to buy them online...?? Even ebay? There's a couple on there that are "decahedrons" - like kongs for horses: Ebay Item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOLEY Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 My dogs shred our horses toys in no time at all. They are not that strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Have you looked at the Aussie Dog range? I know they are exxy but my neighbours bought their staffy the staffy ball and it is still going strong years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danii Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hmm think i might give this 'staffy ball' a try..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krat Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 just some ideas. cable reels, non splintering branches (like off palms), sand pits and pools, empty milk bottles, old car tyre (can also hang it like a swing, tyre places have to pay to dispose of them). I give this sort of stuff to my little destroyer it mostly survives and when it doesnt no biggie as it was mostly free or cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give this sort of stuff to my little destroyer it mostly survives and when it doesnt no biggie as it was mostly free or cheap. yes my jrt has killed even indestructible toys. i will not allow him near the horse ball, imo it would be gone in a second. we buy cheap basket balls from bW or OH has a canics work shop. the bushes they put in springs in cars last along time. we have lots. ask the local canic to save you some, they bounce well too! best is the free price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo01 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Second the staffy ball, have one and my boy loves it. He is very noisey when he plays with it though (Vocal staffys!) so he only gets to play with it on the weekends. And Old bike/car tires are great too. Iv heard the inner tubes of bike tires are great for making sping poles with (As replacment to the spring part, then attach your lure as per usual) but havent tired that one yet, as i think my boys to young for a spring poll yet and wont get one for another 6 months or so Clydes, Whats the bushes they put in car springs? Dont understand what you mean, can you show/pic? (But I have NO IDEA about cars! LOL had to pay the mechanic $30 to change my head light globes and pump up my tires the other week so thats how cluey I am!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieGirl Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Ascot Vale Saddlery on Racecourse Rd have some nice horse toys. Also got dog toys too, but I assume they aren't Staffy proof, hence your question. Edit - Oops, I mean Amstaff proof - my bad.

voloclydes Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Clydes, Whats the bushes they put in car springs? Dont understand what you mean, can you show/pic? (But I have NO IDEA about cars! LOL had to pay the mechanic $30 to change my head light globes and pump up my tires the other week so thats how cluey I am!) hey i don't often know how to 'splain things like that either. the bushes go in where the leaf spring attaches to the car around a little pin. usually in 4x4 but i think car have them too. not sure a pic would help. they are made of nolethane (not sure the spelling) if you asked a canic for suspension bushes they should know.... i would offer to post some, but hell the dogs love em. traffic cones are good, some people give them to horses, fairly tough.

Teebs Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Vote here for the Staffy Ball, mine doesnt get played with by my dogs often, but i sometimes take it to work for the bullies there to play with, they love it. Also love the Buddy Bones, only chew toy my dogs have not killed. The rolls that cables are on work well, we have a few at work still going strong!

I didn't give them to my dog but she thought she would help herself to them. they are all over the paddock ripped to pieces, the ones that arent now look like a seive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voloclydes Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 having a jrt nothing is indestructible, he ripps the stongest toy apart even stuff for heavy dogs with big teeth. know where your comming from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha bet Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 horse toys arent useful for dogs. also very expensive the horse toys are set for activity from pushing and kicking. but horses dont have canine teeth. The dog will just rip into it. Save your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
