Herding Balls
Herding Balls are made by Boomer Ball.com. I think they are the very same ball but they cost 90.00 compared to 15 dollars for a boomer ball.
I had to burn my boomer balls up because Casey became obsessed with them and was actually wearing her canines down trying unsuccessfully to pop the ball. I have much better luck with the Jolly Balls. The dogs like them but they don’t become oc about them. Even if they pop them, they’re still able to play with them
Boomer ball.com specifically mentions only small herding dogs like aussies and borders to play with these Herding Balls. I think it’s because they can’t open their jaws wide enough to wear their teeth down on these large balls while with the larger breeds it is a distinct possibility.
Bye,
Margot

Margot- I just stumbled onto your comment on herding balls – I had been asking about them earlier. You are right – mine is the cheaper version (approx $20.00 – $90.00 seems insane).
Anyway, they do get the dog worked up but I liked the fact that he got such a good workout during the winter months.
Anyway, since he broke out the basement window with it it is verboten. It was recommended to me by a lady who had a very shy female GSD with “issues” and it helped her. Maybe not best for an outgoing male youngster. So I will conclude herding balls may have their place depending on individual circumstances, but beware of hazards.
Appreciate your input. Kimberly
