I have a "Tuffy" and a "Fleecy" they sent me as product samples. They seem to be very well made...my cats haven't destroyed it yet. :lol:

18 to 34 year old females
no fluffiness

i'd go for a smaller breed.

there are plenty of small breeds with smooth coats: beagle, basset hound, small lab, boston terrier, puggle, pug,...

I found some puppies that I'm going to try to use. I'm also looking at making a clip using a sketch effect. Kind of like the airline ad (AA I think) that tells the story in sketch form. A similar example, there's a n investment firm that uses a cartoon like look. (It's funny I remember the type of ad, but not the company. Is that bad marketing when the gee whiz of the ad overshadows the brand?)

I'll try to come up with a shot so you can see...

Just another side note to thank everyone for their input. I appreciate it.

Facebook took down my dog video because I had the KC song as background. There has to be a better way. I think it's a "fair use" of the song. There was nothing commercial going on. KC was in no way harmed either financially or reputation-wise. I'm all for protecting the hard work of others, but we need a better system.

As an owner of both small and large dogs, I would suggest using a large breed because those toys look sturdy. I've never had a problem finding toys that will last for my small dog, but my big dogs it's super hard to find something that can't be torn apart. My parent's are in the same boat with two lab puppies that are 7 months old and would love something that couldn't be torn up in less than a week!

Good luck!

I like the boxer. The black dogs are too dark and the spotted dogs remind me of the Budweiser dog. Interesting models!

Reading my post today it sounds rather crass, not my intention.
Wakey, of course you are absolutely right!
meant about going with the numbers! not that you were crass! :oops:

I would go with a large breed and would go with a lab. Labs are great dogs for pictures and also very destructive. Lab owners go through tons of toys (like Nic in KC mentioned). The other breed I would consider would be a weimeraner. That breed is very beautiful to look at and also go through tons of toys.
