"Indestructible! Goes the distance to burn off energy and exercise our wolfhound/poodle mix."
"Once in a while I'll gamble and take a chance on these new dog toys. ... This toy was a miss. The Kurgo will chuck the 4" disc a long way; but it doesn't “float” in the air like a frizzbee...So forth it was a fancy chucking system.... not worth the $20 bucks or so that we paid."
