Excitement and safety are always priorities here at Genuine Dog Gear. I’ve designed our new furry dog toys: the Ram Tuffys and Rabbit Tuffys specifically to be safe, while creating a top speed excitement in your dog. I’m happy to report that they’re doing their job.
Not your Mama’s Tug Toy
These Tuffy’s are not beginner tug toys. I’m not implying that you’re going to get hurt using them, but they do create a very high degree of desire in dogs. If you’ve got a chewer and you’re not watching closely, your dog tug toy will wind up in bits and pieces in a heartbeat.
Additionally, if you have a couple of aggressive or competitive dogs in your household, you’ll want to keep a close eye on these as they could easily start a fight. These are not the kind of dog toys you can turn over to the dogs. You’ll definitely want to be involved in the games.
Rabbit Rules
Dogs love rabbit. I guess it’s their natural instincts. There must be something in the smell that just goes click for them, like chocolate, fresh baked bread or the smell of money does for us.
I’m guessing it’s a fundamental survival/hunting drive that kicks in for them. It doesn’t matter what the mechanism is that gets their wheels spinning. All you need to know is that this rabbit fur dog toy will drive your high rev dog up the right tree. If you’re looking for a good dog toy to push your dog training to the next level, I recommend this one.
Sheepy Love
A Sheepskin dog toy may be preferable for your dog if you have a herding breed as opposed to a hunting breed. We put sheepskin in a lot of our tug toys to create drive and it works very well. If your dog hasn’t seen furry dog toys before, I recommend starting with sheepskin and working your way up to the rabbit dog toy after your dog has seen the sheepskin for a while.
The same is true if you’ve been dog training with rabbit fur dog toys. Your dog may really respond to the novelty of sheepskin.
Fur Origins
Sometimes we get asked where our fur comes from. So, if you’re wondering, our sheepskin comes from New Zealand and the rabbit fur comes from France. In both cases, the animals are raised for the table and the skins are harvested as a part of that process. Neither of these skins comes from the orient or a third world country. We buy our skins from American companies who import them for resale.
