Meet the Testers






This is Zoe. She is a weimaraner. Zoe is our April Fool's baby... she was born on April 1, 2004. Zoe loves balls. All kinds of them. Tennis, racquet, squeaky, fuzzy... the list goes on and on. She is a runner, a chaser, and a chewer. If there is a ball on the market, she can destroy it.



This is Riley... she too is a Weimaraner. She was born on October 16, 2007. Riley is a chewer and a tugger - she loves to pull things apart and destroy them. She is also very tall, as you can see here. She is proud of herself.

Zoe is sleepy... shhh.. dont disturb her, she gets grouchy.



This is Heidi. She is a blue weimaraner. We don't know much about her... she is our foster dog. She is here until she finds a home. She even has her own blog http://heidiweimaraner.blogspot.com/. She is just learning what toys are. She is still very gentle with them, but thats ok, not everyone has to be so rough all the time.

Opening Shop

Its time to open shop.
I have done some googling and some reading... there are a lot of dog toy testing sites out there.
Perhaps the best I can find is this one... http://www.boston-terrier-challenge.com/
However, they did a raquetball review (http://www.boston-terrier-challenge.com/tests/racquetball.html) and the thing was still going after a year!
This is when I decided that someone needs to do this with a breed that actually knows how to destroy toys. So, my weimaraners and I are ready to take on this tall order.
Of course, I will introduce them, and their playing experience in the coming days, along with our first reviews.
In the meantime, rest assured, a raquetball doesnt make it past 48 hours in our house. Silly Boston Terriers.
