Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 8 months old | 62 lbs
Hello, my dog is a 2 year old German Shepherd, Boxer, Rottweiler, Chow Chow mix, (that's a mouthful!) and he destroys every toy we give him! He has never chewed on furniture, (even as a puppy) or clothes or shoes. But we've purchased every toy under the sun and he still rips them to shreds! We've gotten indestructible toys like, fire hose toys, Kong toys, etc. We gave him a thigh bone from a cow and he broke it with one chomp. Is there something better? Or do we just replace toys? Thank you.

Some dogs are chewers. It is good that he does not chew inappropriately. As long as he chews just toys, you'll likely need to keep replacing them. You can try rotating toys so that Berlin does not have an opportunity to totally destroy them. As soon as you see some wear, take it away and replace it. Use caution when giving bones as they could fracture a tooth or teeth.
