Tough as a rock and flies like one too.
This dog disc is very durable, but it flies poorly. The outer ring is made from very tough and somewhat soft rubber. The problem is that this rubber is a bit floppy and quite heavy. The floppiness makes it hard to throw accurately. The heavy weight makes the disc sink quickly, which makes it very hard for the dog to catch it. The Hyperflite 'Jawz' discs are about the same price and work MUCH better. They are also nearly indestructible, but they fly great too.
*Not* recommended; better options available
*Not* recommended:
1) Poor quality control: central rigid plate is significantly off-center resulting in unstable flight.
2) Poor choice of materials: outer soft plastic is too soft. I suspect it will tear easily (but, frankly I don't ever expect ever to use it again as there are better choices - see below).
3) Poor flight characteristics: just does not fly well or far and excessively heavy.
**I would recommend starting your puppy with the soft, dirt-cheap, nylon fabric "Flippy Floppers" available at WalMart - buy several in bright easily-locatable colors and expect your puppy to chew them up relatively quickly. Considering their price they fly and roll well. (The Kong rubber discs are also acceptable for variety and more durable). When she's ready to graduate to a rigid disc without injury, go for the Hyperflite Jawz. They are the best dog discs I know of: well designed (though I'm not a fan of "fast-back" designs in general), made from an incredibly durable plastic (not a tooth mark yet), they have outstanding flight characteristics (they are even fine as a general tossing disc, though a bit small) and can be thrown a good distance despite their light weight (which is a good for your dog's teeth and jaw safety). Hope this helps.
Schnoodle sure loves it!
My dog loves this frisbee. He drops it at my feet many times throughout the day indicating that he wants to play. I'm not the best frisbee thrower and I sure do appreciate that I can get a good grip on this frisbee with its soft outer layer and rigid inner disc. I feel good knowing that the pliable outer disc is soft enough for my puppy's teeth, and strong enough to hold up to his flip flop antics, plus he can pick it up easily when it is laying flat on my floor. And wow, the glow in the dark feature is fabulous! We enjoy our nightime fetch practice. I do have to mention that the glow doesn't last long. I throw about four or five times and then have to recharge the frisbee under a bright light. Plus, the material tends to hold onto dirt. I've washed it off several times but the dirt never totally disappears. Totally worth it though. We are already on our second disc.
