Doberman of the Corn: The Movie
Size: One Size, Pattern Name: Corn, Size: One Size, Pattern Name: Corn
My Doberman Godzilla loves this corn. She loves it with every fiber of her being and soul. She is spoiled rotten and has more toys than most children (mostly because if a Doberman does not have things to be entertained by, they will invent their own entertainment that involves the destruction of your home.) She destroyed her first corn plush after about a year. There was some kind of diva like fit and her original corn was in tiny pieces. She was subsequently despondent like a Victorian on a fainting couch so I had to find an emergency corn replacement here on Amazon. I have no idea who the buyer for Amazon is and what made them say: “Oh yes, we MUST sell a big corn plushie for dogs” but I am grateful as hell to the way their possibly deranged mind thinks. Because that person and my Doberman think exactly alike.

Sturdy
Size: 20 x 4 x 4 in, Pattern Name: Pepper
Wanted to wait awhile before writing this review to see how it held up. It is the sturdiest soft toy he has had in while! I love the sound it makes, not loud and annoying like some. Not one tear or seam has come loose and believe me this little Shih Tzu is rough on everything. It is bigger than he is and shakes like nothing else can and stay together. I recommend it for any aggressive pet. I can see a ferret running around with it or a big dog.

Toy provides much fun and hilarity, seam rips.
Size: 20 x 4 x 4 in, Pattern Name: Eggplant, Size: 20 x 4 x 4 in, Pattern Name: Eggplant
So, I kind of bought this on a whim. But our dogs absolutely love this toy, and it provides many moments of hilarity as watching our medium sized dogs tote this giant toy around, whipping it back and forth, hitting themselves with it, is constant entertainment. The squeaker is still working nearly 6 months later, which is amazing. I only took off one star because I have had to perform surgery on this toy multiple times due to the seam coming open, letting the stuffing out, which is a major issue. I have to take it away from them (which they hate) then find time to sew it up until the next spot opens up. If I was smart, I'd just have reinforced the entire seam the first time, but no one said I was smart.
