Durable dog toys/chews that don't cost a lot
I'm guessing I'm not the only corgi owner out there with a dog that can destroy almost anything. I've wasted quite a bit of money on so called "indestructable" toys, only to have Atlas rip the thing apart in the first five minutes of ownership.
I'm aware of Tuffy's but I'm also not about to drop $30 on a chew toy.
Here's what I've found so far that work pretty good.
Nylabone double action chew :~$8
Kong medium: ~$10
General Panton cow knuckle bone: ~$7
Any other suggestions for my power chewer?

Planet Dog Orbee Tuff toys are wonderful, and minty too! normally around $7. And they come with a 6month guarantee. All you do is bring in the largest piece of the toy that's left and they let you pick any other one out for free with the same guarantee. Although Midas was not able to destroy it, and he destroys everything. So we figure it's pretty corgi proof. But as you were saying about toys costing a lot and then being demolished in like 5 minutes (sometimes less), anytime that happens to me I call the company and let them know. If they are any kind of a decent company and care about their customers and products they will let you pick a brand spankin new toy from their site. They will eat the costs of everything and will replace that too if necessary. I've been tempted to ask some places if they would like a toy tester with any before the toys come out.

I've seen those Orbee's before and almost picked one up, but like I said before I don't like dropping money on something that will be in pieces within a matter of minutes. That six month guaruntee is awesome, looks like I'll have to go pick some up.

I love the website www.planetdog.com, Lance gets the toys that are rated 5 out of 5 chompers and does well with them and he is a destructive chewer and those toys hold up.

Molly has had her antler chew for a while now, and while it's not her favorite toy, it is definitely more durable than any other toy we've gotten for her. I found it online for about $8.
Come to think of it, she's also had her Orka rope/ball for a while now. Again, not her favorite, but she will pick it up from time to time and it certainly lasts longer than her loofah doggies.
I will be eagerly following this thread as I am also interested in finding toys that won't be littering my carpet in pieces 5 minutes after we get it.

What is this antler chew? Is it a REAL antler? Or is this a brand-name?

It's a real deer antler!

And it doesn't harm the corgi? I've had 2 dogs get bloat, intestinal torsion, from bone-like products, one died of it, overnight, from being unable to process gases. I've been terrified of rawhides, pig ears, big white bones, etc. ever since.

Here is a thread where we talked about them:

I've never heard of any dog being harmed by them.
Good luck with your search! I'm sure you'll find just the thing for your corgi.

I second the antler suggestion.
Also, Sidney is more of a shredder than a chewer. He loves to tear paper towels into strips. Weird, but at least it's inexpensive.

Third on the antlers. It's the only thing I've found that don't get ripped apart 30 minutes after I give it to him. Also, no stains and no smell. It's woooonderful.

Ah yes, I remember after about a month of owning Brian, I was doing hours of research on "indestructable" dog toys!
The Planet Dog stuff is great! I have two balls from them and a bone, all of which are still kickin' and i've had the first ball for almost a year! They're stuff has lasted longer than the Nylabones, to be honest, which is saying something. The bone was around $10, and the balls were about $12. A great feature that I found with the balls was that you can fill them with kibble, which will keep Brian occupied for quite some time.
Another brand that I've found that is great is Hurley/Zogoflux. I've got a dumbell toy made by them (i've had it for about a year) and it still doesn't have a toothmark on it! I think it cost $13, and it's well worth it.
I'll add a question to this topic, too: does anyone know of any well made toys that have squeakers in them? Brian loves things with squeakers, but kills them. The only thing that's held up relatively well have been JW rubber squeaky toys, but they generally only last for a month before the rubber starts breaking off in small chunks.
