Toy Stories - what works for you?
What works:
Stuff toys - My dogs love to play operation, shread them and turn them inside out.
Ice cubes - Like clock work, as soon as they hear the ice maker, they come running.
Kong - peanut butter at the bottom or treat at the bottom, then shove it with a giant ice cube, it'll take them sometime to lick /melt the ice to get to the good stuff.
Semi work:
tennis ball - Mocha love me throwing the ball, but he'll bring it back half way, make me go after him, and when he's had enough, he make me to go fetch the ball.
No working at all:
plastic toys, like giant knobby ones, or any weird shapes, they won't even look at them.

I don't know about the stuffed toys, but Zed LOVES ice cubes and rawhide. He also loves his ball and will bring it back to me so I can throw it for him again. He much prefers having my wife chase him or chasing me around the back yard. He's also getting pretty good at catching a Frisbee.
This morning was a first, Zed actually grabbed his rope bone from his toy bin and started swinging it around before he walked up to me with his stubby little tail wagging. We played tug with the rope bone. He really gets into it.

Roxi so far seems to love everything that we've given her.
Fill her kong up - it seems frozen peanut butter lasts the longest so far... treats, giant pasta, ice or fried/boiled egg lasts about two seconds.
She has a busy buddy jug/rope with treats inside that she loves. You have to be careful around her when she plays with it though because it easily becomes a weapon lol. She starts swinging it with her mouth and that jug can go flying.
plastic bottles - we use the high end soda bottles and watch her carefully with them and never leave them alone with her. she loves the noise they make when she squishes them and I used to put a hole in one side and fill them with treats until we got the jug.
she has a giant soccer ball that she pushes around with her nose and small tennis balls.
Then two frisbees, one for inside one for outside lol.
after giant pig ears started becoming an afternoon thing we decided to get her a giant bone which has lasted now lol
she tears her stuffed animals right up so its like a constant fix or new toy buy lol.

We used to have a Miniature Schnauzer/Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie (at least that's what we've been told he was) named Spanky. His favorite toy was his rope toy. He dragged that thing everywhere. He also liked ice cubes.
I'll have to see what kind of toys Scout likes when I bring him home. =D

My two liked stuffed toys, particularly if they are also squeaky toys. They do unstuff them, but that's most of the fun. It's funny to see them later with just the squeaky in their mouth, nothing left of the toy that once surrounded it. Macsen likes any toy that Ruby has.

Scout is still getting used to his new place. He sometimes plays with his rope toy or chases a ball around. My sister was dragging a cat toy fishing pole with a fluffy mouse on the end and he went crazy, grabbing it and carrying it away. I think we're running out tomorrow to buy him a stuffed animal toy. He'll love that, I'm sure. He was chewing on his Nylabone on the ride home. I put a dog treat inside of his Kong toy and he had fun trying to get it out.

Amiga loves stuffed animals .... she rolls on top of them to smother the life out of them ..... then she shakes it back and forth in her mouth just in case it is still alive ... then she shreds them to pieces over the course of a month or so. She love to pull the stuffing out and leave a trail through the house.
But, she also loves rawhide bones. She gets so excited when she gets a new one .. and she is now 11 years old ... but she get just as excited as when she was a pup.
However, she doesn't distinguish very well between a stuffed animal and other small live critters like squirrels. She will lay in wait like a cat ... poised to strike a squirrel that she has been "casing" its movements and routines over a few days. She knows which tree, which side it comes down, which direction it goes, where it jumps to first, second, and so on ... she is very calculated and methodological in her plan of attack. She is very fast and has no problem catching and squirrel or rabbit then playing "stuffed animal" with it.

We got Scout a stuffed duck a while ago. He likes to rip the duck's bill apart. He will chew on anything, especially if it's made out of some kind of fabric.
I'm very careful about what I give him. I especially don't want to give him rawhide or bones because he might break bits off and hurt himself or get a blockage.
His other favorite toy is the cats, but he's learning to respect them.

Ritz loves his Nylabones. Rawhides can be destroyed within a day. Rope bones, he will destroy within 2 hours. No interest at all with his rubber ball. Gave him a rubber ball (the rather soft rubber with holes so it's easier for him to bite it) when he was a puppy. It was with him for a few months but he did not play with it at all.

Pumpkin is obsessed with removing the eyes from all her stuffed toys (I usually buy kid's toys). It takes about 1 minute, does anyone know why? Noses are secondary but interesting. I have a plastic ball which I put small treats into, it closes with a twist of the wrist. She rolls it around until she gets it open & all the treats fall out. The best for a "food driven Corgi" like mine.
