This was rather smaller than I envisaged, partly because I had assumed the measurement was for the 'body' only and didn't include the 'ribbons'. My 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy was delighted when I gave it to her and started to play with it immediately. However, within half-an-hour she had made a hole at one end and the 'stuffing' was coming out. It may well be that this will stand the chewing of a smaller dog, but mine has not destroyed any other toys so I can only assume it isn't very well made.
