I've purchased two of these toys for my two large malamute-mixes. The first one I purchased in October. With rigorous play it lasted until December. Then I bought another one as a Christmas present for the pups just recently.
Both of my dogs have different tastes in toys. Rascal, my big boy, likes anything that squeaks and can be torn apart. Coho, the complete opposite- a very picky girly girl, prefers to hunt things. She only likes toys with fur that she can chase. With that being said they both absolutely love playing tug-o-war with each other. It's the one game they both enjoy. This toy covers all aspects of both dogs. Rascal can squeak the squeaker in the head and tail. He can also tear the toy apart. Coho can chase the toy around and 'hunt' the fury creature. And they can both play tug-o-war with it against each other.
What's really unique about this toy is that there is no stuffing. It's made of faux fur (I'd rather see a real fur one, as real fur is digestible for dogs but faux fur is not- and bits of this toy have been accidently swallowed). Once torn apart- which took both of my dogs working together about a week to accomplish, there are two squeaky toys sewn inside. For larger dogs these are small enough to swallow so you will need to supervise your dog when playing with this toy. Once the squeakers are removed you will have to discard of them.
The soft fur-like material really keeps my dogs engaged. They are constantly fighting over it. Running and stealing it from each other. They are very big, very strong dogs who can play tug-o-war like a pro. So the fact that this toy held up with both of these dogs for two months is a feat to be accomplished. It did begin to rip in half after a month of play- but then the two separate pieces became toys of their own and they continue to rip and tear the toy apart until it was left in about 4 inch pieces all over the house. 90% of the time they didn't swallow the pieces. But on occasion Rascal did not want to give up his piece to Coho- so instead of setting it down he just swallowed it. Luckily he has a man's digestive system and popped it out. But like I said before, real fur would be a better option in my mind. Most of the toys I buy my dogs are made with digestible fur or leather. Faux fur is plastic- so it can't be digested. Just a thought in case your dog tends to eat his toys as well. When this toy begins to tear I suggest taking small pieces away as they are ripped off.
This toy really isn't a fetch toy. It's mainly for chewing and tug-o-war. The sewn-quality is amazing. It really did hold up fantastically. I was amazed at how long this toy lasted. Most of my dog toys are thrown out in a week or two. This lasted two months with both of my pups actively playing with it. For it's durability and universal-play opportunities I would hands down say this is a 5 star toy and would recommend it to people with large-breed dogs.

He prefers to chew on a 3-year old dirty, smelly scrap of toy. What can I say, dogs.
I bought a variety of toys for a rescue I adopted who was a puppy mill dog and never had the opportunity to play. I had it all planned out in my head which toys would be his favorite and how we would play with them together. Turns out I could have just saved my money and thrown a couple cardboard boxes in with him. I'm sure someday he'll get around to playing with this, but right now he just wants to sleep and chew on things that aren't his. :)There really isn't much to this toy and it's not as big in person as I expected for a 24-inch toy. But I thought it would be a safe option to leave with him in his kennel in case he decided to eat it all. He seems to prefer toys with regular dog toy type fur versus the silky fur on this toy. His favorite toy of all the toys I bought is a duck with a rope attached to the head. He really likes ropes.
