So my dog LOVES her red Kong. Sometimes it goes missing for a while so I try to get her to play with the other red kong that we bought for her. Slightly different shape but same texture, etc. She refuses. She knows as soon as I throw it that it's not the right one and stops running mid-way to the thrown toy.

She does play with other toys (tennis balls) but some she flat out rejects.

Yours do the same?

Kona, my ball dog, will only play with a certain type of ball. I bought 300 of them about 8 years ago before the company stopped producing them, can't find them anywhere now and we only have a few dozen left. It will be a sad, sad day in Kona-land when we get to the last ball.

Ab-so-lutely.

They'll only play with the tiniest plush squeaky toy on the planet, the extra-small Kong teddy bear or duck.

They're about 2.5" long and fit perfectly in their tiny Chi mouths. I stopped buying any other toy, because they simply won't play with them.
