The Best Kind Of Dog Toys

By Biggy Wendl


Dogs love toys. You can't deny that statement; you'll see them rummaging through rooms to bite on something. Whether it's a ball, a shirt, a box, a case, a pair of iPod headphones (yes, it can happen) or your deodorant, dogs just love their toys. It's a way for them to strengthen their teeth, strengthen their bite and kill the boredom. But of course, it's annoying if they turn your most important objects into their toys. So you got to do something and get them their own toys to play with.

But do you know what my favorite kind of dog is though? My favorite kind of dog is a Labrador retriever. The Labrador is, as they say, one of the most popular breeds in the world. You can't deny that; it's cute, it's cuddly and it's friendly. Take my word for it; I happily own a Labrador myself. Labradors are the kind of dogs that were born to please anyone. Sure, it takes time to teach them a few tricks. You'll probably find yourself sweating and panting trying to get them perfect a trick. But if there's one thing Labradors have, it's their determination. They'll do everything they can to please their owners and perfect a trick or command.

Labradors are natural swimmers. Since the dawn of their breed, they were made to fetch game (for those not familiar with this term, it means the animals that were hunted down by shooters in the countryside). In some places, Labradors have to swim to get the game so this has developed to become a genetic trait among all Labradors. This has been proven already; my Labrador once swam in the pond of my relative. He just swam like there was no tomorrow. Labradors are friendly and social. They're quite friendly to almost everyone that comes near them. When they want to give comfort to someone, they'll go near them and cuddle with them. Labradors are always there for someone in times of emotional distress. They always want to bring happiness.

Before you think about getting a toy, make sure you know if the toy is suitable for the dog. Is it good for a Labrador? For a Chow Chow? A Chihuahua? The best toys are always the ones specific to a dog. Sometimes, a certain chew toy may only be good for small ones while certain bones are good for the big ones. Pick wisely. This may not be classified as a toy but it's still a toy. You can try treats; little bits of food you can use when your dog does good in his performance of tricks and commands. This kind of toy, while it cannot be used as something the dog can chew on because he can eat it right, can be a good way to keep him bored when you're playing with him.

So it's always good to keep them active. And in turn, it keeps you in shape too. It's nice to know Labradors encourage you to be active for them. They're also in a way naturally athletic so developing that characteristic will help them in the long run. So that's my favorite kind of dog. I like a dog that's active, friendly, charismatic, naturally athletic, full of energy and determined. That dog is the Labrador retriever.
