Highlighted Reviews

— LouLou

"This one is great for my young 1's. Nice and thick and well made. They been biting it and its holding up real good. The braids are soft enough where they could take a good bite out of it. Put together real good. Great Xmas Toy."

— Chrissy73

"The braid part of this product held up exactly as it was stated but the head part of this product was easily ripped and the stuffing made a mess."

Bottom Line

It is good for a limited bite, size might be problematic. Not guaranteed quality due to mixed reviews.
