As has been previously mentioned here on the blog our two working dogs are fetch mad. To the point where Occa can turn anything into a fetch toy. Husband to be took off his socks last night after work and Occa started carting them around dropping them at our feet, he's even used a toy spanner as a fetch toy before...
With all this it is safe to say that as a family we need to have a constant supply of appropriate fetch items for playtime. Our Kong Flyer is great (reviewed previously), but we've started really getting into combination walks where we as humans also get some exercise, so having a smaller fetch toy has become more important. Enter the 'high bounce Spalding ball.'
A ball intended for things such as handball and general horseplay it's not one you'd immediately think of when searching for a dog toy. Well it is fabulous. It's hard rubber surface, which makes it a great bouncer, also gives it a strong defense against blue heeler teeth whilst being soft enough not to knock any of them out. It's also easier to fit into a standard ball thrower, lighter so it goes further and seems to hurt less when it accidently hits them!
It's also an amazing price at only a few dollars per ball from your local sports store.
The only problem we've had with them is losing them down drains, in long grass or at sea..
Definitely one for a fetch fiend.
Forever love your dog,
Emma
