As someone who works professionally with dogs, I want to share some of my favorite large dog breeds. Some of these are high energy and will require proper training to yield reward.
With my dynamic duo of a lively 1-year-old whippet and a perpetually unimpressed grumpy old mutt, let me tell you, the toy selection is as diverse as their personalities.

It's a delightful game of trial and error to find the perfect playthings that strike the right chord with each of them, but oh, the joy it brings to see tails wagging and paws prancing.
