This was a hit from the moment we first played with it. The sheepskin is a little stinky and my dog loves it. You can see the primal instincts kick in with this one. The long line is my favorite part and I will be aiming for this in future tugs. With the longer line there is less accidental teeth on hands, more motion, and more excitement. The line is unassuming and the toy end so enticing that this is a great tug for dogs/puppies that like to grab at the handle portion of tugs. This is something our puppy has struggled with but with this tug it’s a non issue.
