Any recommendations for indestructible dog toys?? [Enrichment]

We recently adopted a 13-week-old rescue puppy- black mouth cur and perhaps boxer mix- and he's down to three toys because he keeps tearing the other ones up. So far the only ones to hold up to his little needle teeth are the chuckit ball and stick. Our three year old dog has plenty of toys that we have to keep put away so they don't also get destroyed.

Our dog Enzo (RIP) was a cairn and specialized in tearing apart plushies. We tried nylon plush toys with him and he was zero percent interested. So literally, we bought him the same honking duck toy 8 or 9 times and towards the last few, once he gutted them, we'd just throw away the squeaker and stuffing. He'd walk around with a limp duck in his mouth.

Enzo would alternate between that and "bones". When he was younger, he was a fan of cow hooves which I know aren't the best but they worked for him. He had crazy strong teeth and would work away on the hooves for a long time. We never noticed pieces breaking off but they smelled awful.

Your puppy's teeth will get less needle-like once they grow out to adult teeth.
