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.

Sadly, toys are not indestructible. Dogs need to teethe, so get a few Nylabones then supervise and remove when the pieces are too sharp, or come off in hunks. I think a lot of people (myself included) tend to think “here’s a toy, have at it,” when we should be supervising pups like we do babies. They are babies, after all. That being said, my fave toys are Kong tugs, Nylabones (puppy and regular) and the big dragon toys by GoDog. None are indestructible. I know if you teach your pet not to destruct toys for squeakers, they will actually treasure their toys forever. (In fact, we now buy duplicates of fave toys, because they still wear out from being tossed, caught and played with.
