Hello,
They don't chew the fur off the ball?
Or poke a hole in it?
I know one of my retired dogs had a tennis ball where it broke a 
tooth.
They had to go under the gum to remove the tooth.
I have never seen a ball that huge before.
Interesting.

 oh, the tennis ball!  My son when he grew up, was and still is 
convinced
 that tennis balls were only used for tennis after being invented 
for dogs!
 I have a couple of really big tennis balls I baught at the pet 
store.
 They're about as big as maybe 4 tennis balls.  They have 2 
kinds.  The cheap
 ones just look like tennis balls but can be chewed up and broken 
easily.
 The other is just like the smaller ones.  Including the bounce!  
I sometimes
 get nervous with the regular sized balls because they're kind of 
small and I
 worry that they could be accidentally be swallowed.  But the big 
ones!  The
 dog would have to have a really big throat because they're about 
half the
 size of a basketball!

 I forgot to mention Leone's favorite form of exercise.  You see, 
we
 don't ahve yards and are in a duplex apartment.  We drive up the 
hill
 to the college ane lock ourselves in the Tennis courts and  I 
hit soem
 tennis balls  over the net she retrieves them.    We do this on 
days i
 don't go anywhere.  She loves this.

 Remember...  "A happy dog is a tired dog"

 Hello list,

 I was wondering how often do you work your dogs? I feel like I
 have to work Wizard every day and I feel guilty if I just let 
him
 have one day off.  How long is the longest you've allied your
 dogs time off?

 Lyn my husband and I were at the convention last weekend.  Our
 dogs misbehaved and growled and were immediately corrected.  I
 would agree with you if we chose not to bring our dogs under
 control but we did and it didn't happen again.  When you know 
all
 of the facts then please make judgment calls on whether a dog
 should remain in a situation.  I don't know of any dog that
 hasn't made a misstep and the important thing is that the dogs
 were corrected properly and immediately.  In fact they were 
still
 lying at our feet.  They didn't stand up or approach in any way.
