Hi Folks, We have a yellow lab that is positively bonkers about retrieving. I use a lot of Dokken's and Avery bumpers. My 10 year old daughter bought a Large Kong Fetch Stick w/Rope at the pet store. It is fantastic for playing fetch, our dog is 2 years old and is in superb shape so it usually takes awhile to wear him out, this new toy throws very,very far and doesn't take as long to wear the dog out!!! I won't being getting rid of my training bumpers but I'll always have one of these!Just thought I'd pass it along. Have a great day! Joe

I have a 18 mouth old lab I'll have to look into one.
