that depends on how big a bitch you want. Bitches with less jaw strength won't tear a squeaky toy to shreds in a matter of seconds. I prefer the ones with toys inside them. There's this one ball where half is a squeeky toy, and the other side is a cage that houses a mini tennis ball. That seems to be a favorite. Kongs are good for bigger bitches that like to chew. I don't even "bait" them, though you can never go wrong with peanut butter.
