Bottom part orange was ripped open by my Golden, we saved it and he still fetches it while supervised ? even Carhartt can't stand up to a determined ripper!

I'm sure this toy isn't exactly for your dog to chew on. But for those who do let them chew on it. Know that there are some kind of small hard rocks in the middle of the toy. I don't know why you would do that even If it's not for your dog to chew on.

My dog loves it. He's hard on toys it's been a few weeks and is still hanging in there no tears or blown out threads. Good product

my dog tore thru the fabric within a couple uses of retrieving..no chewing. I thought since it was carhartt it would be a manufactured with quality in mind..it was not.

To all the idiots complaining about durability, it's not a chew toy. It's for training your dog to fetch/retrieve. You morons shouldn't be letting your dog chew on your training tools. Stop being lazy and supervise your dogs, take the bumper away when you're not using it with your dog.
