    Wow - jaws of steel! It might be worth trying one of the larger sizes perhaps, as they're a natural product, I would guess that the base part of the antler is older and therefore denser than the fresher 'tips' that the smaller chews are probably made from. I have the XL size for my two and one piece was the very base of the antler (had the 'stump' part on it) and it seems very tough, mine have had them at least a year and a half and only managed to gnaw an inch or two off the end (the whole things about 8" long)

    my dog (fox terrier cross) loves nothing better than to destroy soft and squeaky toys, he looks proud after doing it
    he doesnt destroy anything else so i havent really bothered doing anything about it, i now get most of his toys from the charity shops or car boot sales so they are cheaper than dog toys

    our two like tennis balls - not cheap ones (surprise surprise) but proper Wimbledon quality balls - if we buy the cheap ones the two just destroy them in an hour.

    They have plenty of good quality tennis balls and will happily play with them - chew wise we give them the hard flavored plastic bones which they both go at hammer and tongs for 20 or so minutes a day...

    My patterdale was exactly the same. They are very intelligent little dogs and need a lot of exercise, although they can be lazy if you let them. I never found a toy she couldn't destroy.
